Embrace the spirit of rock with the Epiphone Nancy Wilson Fanatic Nighthawk. Crafted as a tribute to Heart's legendary guitarist Nancy Wilson, this signature model encapsulates the essence of her dynamic playing style. The Nighthawk, originally introduced in the '90s, is a remarkable blend of classic design and modern innovation. Its sleek, mahogany body topped with maple is lighter and more compact than a traditional Les Paul, making it a comfortable powerhouse for any stage performance.

The guitar's distinctive voice comes from its unique pickup combination. The neck position features a ProBucker mini humbucker, offering a smooth and warm tone with a subtle mid-scoop, perfect for rhythm and lead alike. The bridge is equipped with a slanted open-coil ProBucker, delivering a bright, sustaining sound that can cut through any mix. With a 5-way switch, master volume, and tone controls, you have a wide array of sonic possibilities at your fingertips.

The fast-playing, rounded C mahogany neck is paired with an ebony fingerboard adorned with twin parallelogram inlays, offering both comfort and style. The guitar's aesthetic is further enhanced by its vintage-style Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a truss-rod cover stamped with “Fanatic,” a nod to Heart's hard-rocking heritage. For those seeking exceptional tuning stability and intonation, the string-thru design and Graph Tech NuBone nut ensure that every note rings true.
