Epiphone Nancy Wilson Fanatic Fireburst 5-stars Reviews

Ticks most of my boxes

This is a newer version of the Epi Nighthawk dating from the 90's? First off you get a nice case with the guitar, a plus in my opinion. Pickup selector is a 5 blade switch. that taps the humbuckers, so a variety of sounds are there for you. I like the ebony fretboard very smooth to play. Lighter than a les paul style with stomach cut makes for a less tiring playing session. Detractions? Although the bridge pickup is angled and the strings go through the body you will not get a true tele bridge sound, but its close. Is this an attempt to produce a guitar to get both Les Paul and Tele sounds? Not really; its best thought of for what it is, a Fanatic version of the nighthawk, it succeeds in this. A quality guitar that gives sounds for many styles of music, it wont be around in stock for long.
