Normandy 2017 Super Hawk Aluminum Body Archtop Guitar, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Normandy 2017 Super Hawk Aluminum Body Archtop Guitar in chrome plated aluminum is in excellent condition.  We had never seen one, and we were pleasantly surprised with the playability and the fact that it set up with amazingly low, comfortable action.  

The Super Hawk has an aircraft-grade aluminum archtop body, a mahogany neck with a slim C profile, an ebony fretboard with Mother of Pearl crown inlays, and a blue high-impact acrylic pickguard. The body is stamped 10-2-15.

Two TV Jones Classic pickups (3.98k neck, 2.42k bridge) are wired to a 3-way toggle and a kill switch. A Bigsby B7 tremolo with a Chet Atkins-style arm is paired with a Space Control roller bridge. The tuners are Kluson Waffle Back and the nut is GraphTech graphite. Everything is original, including solders and wiring, and there are no repairs. The only wear noted is some patina on a couple of the roller saddles.

Action is 2/32" at the 12th fret on 10-46 strings. The guitar weighs 8 lbs 12.5 oz and comes with a very good acoustic gig bag (not original).
