This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "As smooth as a glass of brandy,sustain for days, rich tones,this is the best guitar that gibson has ever made[sorry les paul]!!"

Sound: Smooth as a glass of brandy!! I have had my blueshawk since 98 and i must say that the tone is incredible!!! Sustain for days,great action on the neck,and as smooth as silk on the fretboard!!! I used to play my a strat and my les paul to get different blues,jazz,rock sounds but,now the blueshawk is my main guitar[i now have purchased another blueshawk ]!! In my opinion this is the best guitar that gibson has ever made!!! TERRIFIC PRICE ALSO!! Feature: The varitone is where its at!! I can get a smooth humbucker sound, a strat sound and even a sound similar to a tele all in one guitar!!! I have not seen a guitar that can give me this many different sounds,with this quality,at this price!! Its a gibson!!!! Quality: Beautifully made,extremely good quality! gibson has always stood behind there products[incredible customer service]!!! I wish that the guitar had better tuners though!! That is my only concern! Value: This is the best value on the best guitar that gibson makes!period! Manufacturer Support: Gibson is the best at taking care of there customers!My les pauls humbucker was shorting out and gibson had me to send it to them [ they paid for the shipping] I recieved my les back with a replaced humbucker that was better than the old one, it took about a week and a half!! The Wow Factor: All you have to do is play this guitar once and you will immediately want it! Gibson now makes this model in a cherry sunburst which i would love to have,but i have 2 ebony models that you couldn't peel away from me! there like my other kids! Overall: Price,quality,the incredible tone and sound that you can get from the blues hawk,its the best guitar i have ever owned and i have been playing the blues for 34 years!!!

Overall: I own a Gibson Blues Hawk with a costom tremolo that was on it when I first saw the guitar. I was a new player at the time, and I could either get a guitar or an amp for my high school graduation. I saw this guitar and fell in love. I still to this day have never seen a guitar like it offered anywhere. The action is a little stiff, but this has been my experience with Gibson guitars, and it actually makes for less sloppy playing when you get used to it. The knobs and buttons and switches on it make for an easy transition to a number of versitile sounds. The only thing that I would say about this guitar on the negative side is that the electronics were beat up when I got it. The ciruitry to the high end pickup is shot, and makes cracking noises. This would make most people angry, but I have no problem in putting work into the guitars I own. If you are looking for a beautful guitar with a versitile sound and plays like a dream, your search has just ended.
