Critic Reviews

“When I hold her close to me, I immediately feel less anxious”: Epiphone’s signature WAXX Nighthawk Studio revives an underrated Gibson model, beloved by the French guitarist and producer | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Epiphone WAXX Signature Nighthawk Studio revives the underrated Gibson model with a solid mahogany build and a Pelham Blue finish, appealing to fans of the original. It's equipped with ProBuckers and a coil-splitting feature, ensuring tonal versatility. While the inclusion of a hardshell case adds value, the guitar's Europe-centric availability and $829 price tag might limit its appeal. Overall, it’s a nostalgic nod for enthusiasts but might not sway those seeking groundbreaking innovation.
