Built in the USA during a period when Gibson was experimenting with fresh takes on their traditional designs, the Midtown Custom offers a unique feel and tonal character that stands apart from the usual ES line-up while still delivering unmistakable Gibson personality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is in excellent condition and has aged beautifully over the years. There are some signs of normal wear and natural ageing throughout, along with some particularly attractive finish checking across the top that adds a ton of vintage-inspired character and visual appeal. The checking looks fantastic against the Sunburst finish and gives the guitar an organically broken-in aesthetic that fits the instrument perfectly. Overall, it remains extremely clean and very well preserved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Midtown Custom features a chambered semi-hollow construction that gives the guitar impressive resonance and airiness while still maintaining the sustain and punch expected from a solid-body Gibson. The result is a lively, dynamic instrument that feels responsive and inspiring in hand whether played clean or pushed through an overdriven amp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck feels smooth and comfortable with excellent upper fret access, and the fretwork remains in great shape with plenty of life left. The guitar plays cleanly up and down the board with a fast, effortless feel that works beautifully across a wide range of styles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, this guitar covers an impressive amount of ground. The humbuckers deliver warm, articulate cleans, thick midrange response, and rich sustain with enough clarity to retain note separation even under gain. It excels at blues, classic rock, jazz, indie, and alternative styles while offering a unique tonal flavour somewhere between a Les Paul, ES-335, and a fully chambered modern Gibson design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVisually, the Midtown Custom stands out with its elegant binding, upscale appointments, and refined semi-hollow styling. It has a classy, slightly modernised Gibson aesthetic that feels both familiar and distinct at the same time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes the original Gibson USA hard case along with the original case candy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautifully ageing and increasingly hard-to-find Gibson that offers standout looks, excellent versatility, and tons of character both visually and sonically.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs is standard practice with any new arrival in store, this very cool Midtown Custom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehas been through the trusted hands of our team in our onsite workshop to ensure it is in tip-top shape for its new home and owner!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe are an\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e appointment-only store\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and all instruments are handled exclusively by MotoMusic staff.
