Washburn Wing Series Hawk Electric Guitar Inc £225 Custom Pro Setup & Support Package

Washburn Hawk – Vintage Attitude. Proper Muscle.

The Hawk is one of those cult ‘70s designs that people who know absolutely love. It wasn’t just a guitar – it was part of Washburn’s bold Wing Series era, when they were building serious, no-nonsense instruments for real players.

This modern Hawk keeps that DNA intact.

You’ve got the unmistakable double cutaway shape, a proper neck-through build for sustain and stability, and a pair of custom-voiced high-output humbuckers that absolutely deliver. Thick, punchy, articulate – but with more versatility than the original thanks to push-pull coil splits.

So if you want classic rock authority but the ability to dial back into single-coil snap when needed, this does it beautifully.

It’s vintage in spirit — but far more usable in the real world.

Why I Like It

• Neck-through construction = sustain for days

• Swamp ash body = clarity and punch

• Proper humbuckers with coil splits = serious flexibility

• That ‘70s double-cut shape looks so cool

It feels like a guitar built to be played hard despite its beauty.

If you’re drawn to guitars with heritage, personality and proper build quality, the Hawk is a brilliant nod to a slightly rebellious chapter in guitar history — but without the quirks that used to come with ‘70s instruments.

It’s a player’s guitar.

And that’s exactly why I like it.
