I dig it!

I've always thought the Nighthawk series were pretty cool.

Just like the one she...wait...never played.

i was thinking the same thing, i don't think i have ever seen her with a nighthawk, but then i am not really a fan.

Isn't that pretty much the same as the original Nighthawks?

Yes, yes it is.

Here ya go.

 

[So What]

Here ya go.

That is definitely not from their "heyday".

Someone in marketing must have decided the Nighthawk was more appealing to chicks, so they got her to start playing one.

That way, they could release the Sig Series.

It'll flop.

I'd hit it, but not for $1,500 ...

 

[RufusTelestrat]

Smaller body for women perhaps was the thinking.

She didn't play a Nighthawk in their heyday because it wasn't introduced until 1993. Heard her in an interview say she got one then & has loved it ever since, so it became her Sig. (But to me, she'll always have her foot kicked up playing a Strat! Hubba hubba!)

That's VERY recent.
