The G&L Superhawk was one of three “Superstrat” style guitars introduced in mid-1984. Like the other Superstrat G&L models, the Invader and Rampage, the Superhawk is almost always found equipped with the optional Kahler vibrato unit with a locking nut. The guitar shown here is a very early example from the first month of production.
