A very cool design. Great price. Came with a Gibby case, not a gig bag, bonus! Big meaty frets, slim taper neck. The hollow body aspect comes through the amp. The bridge pu is a monster, but blends well with the P90. Sounds good split, too. It needed minor tweaking setup, nothing major. I've already used it for a Country and Rock gig. Loving it.

I call it the chameleon because I can blend the tones to match whatever song choice I'm in the mood for! Classic Rock, 80's metal, AC/DC... I must admit I don't play country but I do play Skynyrd and it sounds great! The bridge pickup factory setup for me was way too high so I toned it down some and now I am super satisfied with the Dirty Fingers. The neck is sooo comfortable and easy to play; all I have to do is dial down the height with adjuster and I'm still intonated; No other adjustments for me after three months but strings. This is a light weight super easy fun guitar that gets looks. period. Honestly, I am not super crazy about the P90; some consider it the holy grail. I think a nice PAF would have been better but it does recreate a lot of nice clean tones and some of the overdriven tones of the 70s. This is also the easiest guitar I have ever had to restring too by the way.

Never thought I'd have access to a genuinely simple but powerful guitar as this. Bought at rock bottom price from zZounds and couldn't be happier! Tonal range great, action excellent & I actually like the neck which was my biggest concern with buying my first Gibson. As to the look, you love it or hate it - I happen to have fallen in love :-)

Bought this in January 2016 from zZounds. love this guitar, great quality! The action is smooth, pickups have a wide range that will cover a variety of playing styles, and no issues with the workmanship.

A little neck heavy. Once set up plays just awesome. Decent variety of tones. Killer price for what you get. USA Gibson! No need for Manufacturer Support at this time.

I purchased the 2013 Gibson N-225 (2013 was the only year it was made) in faded cherry finish. With the all black hardware and half diamond cutouts it has a stunning look. It plays very easy. The pickup configuration with split coil (by way of the push pull tone knob) on the Dirty Fingers + bridge pup and the P90 neck pup sound fantastic alone or blended. I put some nice black locking strap pins on, but ended up going back to the stock ones because of the poor location of the top pin (stuck out too much and rubbed against me annoyingly). Overall I think this is an awesome guitar that I'll enjoy playing for many years!

I have read many reviews online about this guitar. In fact, one youtube review has it as one of Gibson's 10 most weirdest guitars made. One more reason I like it.

My first name brand guitar over lesser known/cheap guitars. Extremely pleased with how much easier it is on the hand/fingers to work the fret board. Always wanted a Gibson, but being a novice and on a fixed income never thought I'd be able to get one with all the features in the style I wanted. Smaller than most semi hollow bodies I looked at, makes it easier for me to play. The 8 payment plan made it the ideal buy for me.

Really nice. Natural finish. Super setup springy!! Fast action. Sustain sustain. I love it. I'm a luthier and don't usually buy new guitars but this one is cool. Way better in person. The tone is awesome. Mine has flames on the back and on he neck. So pretty. And smells like heavin. Could use a fret polish and end dressing but thi our of the case setup was surprisingly dead on. Thanks zzounds

Because that is what this guitar is. While the nice clean P-90 has the other side in a leg lock, the very naughty Dirty Fingers pickup hits the opponent over the head with a metal chair. This is really kewl, and gives you a new edge to old music. Love Me Tender comes out like a very bad girl in a white wedding gown. She looks very sweet and innocent, but you just can't escape the feeling that all heck is about to break loose. So, I love this guitar. If you are looking at this last one for sale, and wondering---should I???--- Stop wondering and GRAB IT QUICK before it gets away.

I'm an acoustic guy who has dabbled in Fenders and Epiphones so when I saw the N-225 Nighthawk my curiosity was piqued. I am still trying to bond with the Nighthawk. I like the differences between the pickups but haven't found "the" tone yet. I like its playability, setup out of the box was great, quality is high as one would expect of the Gibson name. It is a nice guitar but is also a challenge. Ask me again in 3 months. :-) As always, zZounds came through on the ease of purchase/delivery side of the deal; guys, I WILL be back! :-)

This is a hard to find awesome guitar and Gibson HSC. The neck dive is an easy fix. I first tried a suction cup from my shower it has a hook on it to find the exact spot were there was no neck dive it was in the same spot as my sg on the back body where just below were the neck meets the body. Find a picture and you will see where to install your strap pin. Also get a leather or swede strap that helps too.

I'll make this short, I bought the Natural about a year ago here at zZounds, They did not have the red, Only natural then. This guitar is so incredible, The craftsmanship on my natural is PERFECT! Tone to match! I saw they have the red now and even cheaper, I would have bought this again even at the price I paid before it's that good! Oh, And wait till you see the unbelievable Super strong old school case it comes in! If your a Gibson fan and your tired of the crap they have been putting out, You better get this one while you can, It is HOT! Just check the reviews! Trust me, They won't last now, And those who buy them more than likely are not going to sell it once they realize what a beast it is. A real collectors Gibson I'm sure! (oh yea, So excited I forgot to mention I just ordered my 2nd in Red!)

I was not sure about this one, But my concerns were quickly erased. This guitar is a real great buy and well worth the price. Mine was set up damn near perfect out of the CASE! Very nice action with NO fret buzz anywhere, Perfect intonation, Lots of tone choices! Looks much better in person than in pictures! The neck on this gives your fingers plenty of room without feeling too chunky. The build on mine is exceptional! I went over it very closely and could not find a shingle imperfection or flaw. Overall, After getting my hands on this, I can honestly say it is worth every cent and probably DOUBLE what I paid. This will probably end up being a collect able Gibson as time goes by. If your on the fence about this one, Go for it! You simply cannot beat the quality and value for the price!
