Ultra-Slick Blue Guitars

Epiphone Collaborates with French Musician Waxx

— January 24, 2024 — Marketing
Epiphone collaborates with French musician Waxx to unveil a beautiful blue signature guitar called the Waxx Nighthawk™ Studio. Exclusively available in the European Union and on piphone.com, this model is inspired by Waxx's iconic Gibson Nighthawk guitar.

The blue guitar features a mahogany body and neck, an Indian laurel fretboard, and Epiphone ProBucker humbucker™ pickups. It is finished in Pelham Blue and comes with a hardshell guitar case.

WAXX was incredibly excited about the collaboration, stating: "Making this guitar with the Gibson and Epiphone team has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. To have a signature is already an unimaginable honor, but to do it with this dream team is beyond a dream. All my love of music is concentrated in this instrument."
