Yes they're soapbars. Actually they're Blues 90's, exclusively made for the BluesHawk. And single coils don't sound awful with distortion; it's all in the type of distortion you're using. Give a listen to Robin Trower or Eric Johnson for good examples of great single-coil distortion. A more obvious example is Hendrix.
Thanks! I had the tone pot out (Varitone circuit OFF). I haven't really found a whole lot of usable tones for my own playing with the Varitone so I hardly use it. I need to post a vid of my Nighthawk, that guitar just oozes tone.
Oh definitely!!! Get it up fast!!! I've never played either the Nighthawk or Blueshawk, but aesthetically they are fucking HOT guitars. If you think the Nighthawk sounds better than your Blueshawk - holy shit, I gotta hear it!
Got a sample vid up of the Nighthawk. It was posted somewhat hastily. I'll get something better up that shows off the guitar a little more sooner than later.
Agreed! Although recently, I've been very impressed with the tone I get from my 50 watt Carvin Nomad and a BSIAB (brown sound in a box) pedal that sounds JUST like my Plexi, only more responsive. Haven't done any clips with it yet but I'll try to get some soon with a backing track.
What a sound fuCKK!

Wow. That rocks HARD. Did you have the rotary switch in the circuit, or did you have it out (push the tone pot (?) in)?
