Gibson BluesHawk

I am with Bea on this subject... The Blues Hawk is a unique and special guitar,
and it would be a wrong idea to try to make it sound like something much more ordinary.

I suggest you get a P-90 guitar that sounds like what you want, and sell the Blues Hawk
to someone who values its tone more than you do.

I have a lovely Epiphone ES-339 P-90 pro, and I modded it to the nines with
all the coolest components. It looks and sounds great, and something like this would be
a much better use for your old P-90s out of the dusty box. Epiphones respond really
well to upgrades.

And it's better to sell the Blues Hawk unmodified to someone who values it for what it is
instead of attempting to make it into something that it's not. Bea's suggestions are all good
if you want to play the Blues Hawk. Mine would be to simply add an EQ pedal to your signal
chain, and shape the tone with that. Problem solved.

There it is.

I am afraid you are gonna have a LONG wait.
 
HEy Ray -- To be honest and Fair --- I DID adjust the pickup on the neck UP a tad....maybe like two turns.....and it DID increase volume from that pup--- not sure it effected tone any but it did make it a hair louder.

Every pickup on my guitars is raised as high as they will go and clear the strings...
 
Perhaps---but the more I grow accustomed to it the higher the cost to pry it out of my grasp.....

Remember, the longer you hold the lower the final price.
What am I saying, I forgot for a moment, you're giving it to me.

I sure understand why your mother would say each year in her Christmas card, "I've raised him so far, it's your turn to take him for a few years".
