2011 Gibson Midtown Standard Faded Red

Offered for sale:

Used 2011 Gibson Midtown Standard serial number 122811379.

This guitar was originally produced as a 2011 Limited Run with a Bigsby vibrato that has since been removed.

This guitar is in good condition. There are marks and dings about the body, there is a crack repair on the inside edge of the bass side cutaway horn, this repair is not pretty but quite well done and is stable. The pickups have been replaced with niche Q-Tone P9055, hand wound versions of the 1955 P-90, the body has been routed to accommodate the larger pickups and an additional mounting block has been utilized in the neck pickup cavity. The original Bigsby B-70 tailpiece has been replaced with a stop bar. The hard-shell case is non-original. Our photos document the condition, additional photos available on request.

A Hybrid Semi-Hollow Guitar

The Gibson Midtown semi-hollowbody guitar is the innovative and exciting hybrid you've been looking for. Gibson started with a solid mahogany body, which they chambered and then topped with a solid maple cap.

Larger than your typical solidbody but smaller than a hollowbody, the '60s SlimTaper neck with rosewood fretboard gives you the comfortable playability

Non-original Hard-shell case included.
