Washburn American Hawk '78 Electric Guitar (Vintage Sunburst) Review

The Washburn American Hawk '78 Electric Guitar (Vintage Sunburst) is a modern recreation of the iconic Wing Series guitars from 1978. Washburn has kept the bold character of the original design while adding features that make the guitar more versatile for today's musicians. The ash body and carved maple top give it a distinctive look, while the three-piece maple and padauk neck runs through the body for a solid, comfortable playing experience. An ebony fingerboard with cream celluloid binding adds a refined touch and gives the guitar a premium appearance.

Two DiMarzio Double Cream humbucking pickups provide the muscle behind the Hawk's wide tonal range. The two volume and two tone controls include push/pull coil-splitting, allowing the humbuckers to produce a brighter, more open single-coil style response when desired. A three-way pickup switch makes it easy to move between the neck pickup, bridge pickup, and both together. The BABICZ Full Contact Bridge is designed to improve definition and sustain, while the brass nut and 25-inch scale add to the guitar's distinctive feel. With 22 frets, dot inlays, and a two-way truss rod, the Hawk is a serious instrument with plenty of character and flexibility.
