Joe Pesci’s Gibson Nighthawk
I recently helped out a close friend who is the nephew of actor Joe Pesci. As a thank you, he gave me the guitar on a sort of permanent basis. Not sure if many know, but Joe is a well accomplished guitarist and singer and goes way back to early days with Frankie Valli singing on street corners.
This particular Nighthawk was originally owned by Sammy Kershaw when Gibson gave him a few during the Nighthawk’s initial release back in ‘93. It wasn’t a popular model but it has its own charm and sounds really great.
Kershaw gave this to Joe as the two are close friends and Pesci was guest performing on country tours.
