Check out this
page on Greg Gagliano's site for the complete story (and
specifications) on the Nighthawk. All I'll add to Greg's text is that
we've since run across a number of Nighthawks with ash bodies (like
the clear red and clear blue examples in the photos above, for
example). Dale Hyatt searched the logbooks several years ago and is
responsible for the 269-guitar figure; while he was at it he also
compiled the following report of Nighthawk finishes which he gave to
Paul Bechtoldt:
113 Black
38 White
87 Burst
23 Natural
2 Gold
2 Clear Red
2 Clear Blue
2 Clear Green
