Rabs Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So we've all seen the Gibson tour videos... BUT what I found really interesting is hes playing one of those new Midtown P90s (and man it sounds AWESOME).. I WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE GUITARS!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyT Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Very good video, just watched it here at work before I start work. What I find interesting though is how he mentioned there are no seconds that come out of the factory. Awhile back I was interested in maybe picking up the new Midtown, but I read reviews of it, and a few said they had some quality control issues such as the volume/tone knobs being put on crooked, paint not lining up. Would this be considered a second, or more of a lack of quality control? I will say my 2012 SG '61 Reissue was flawless when I got it. It just needed a proper setup. Guitar Center wanted to sell me one off of their wall that had been played with quite a bit, and I said no, I want a brand new one shipped from the factory to the store, then I will come in and pick it up.

LarryUK Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I thought the Midtown's came with Richlite boards. How come this has a rosewood board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midtown Customs came with Richlite (one of the things that put me off). The new P90 ones (thankfully) have Rosewood and I will have to get one.. I just think for the price they are the most amazing deal. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Designer/Gibson-USA/Midtown-Standard-P-90.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentw Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I thought the Midtown's came with Richlite boards. How come this has a rosewood board? The new Standard P-90 had rosewood. The Standard w/Bigsby was mixed. Some made it out with rosewood then we switched to Richlite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentw Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Great video, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The P90 is the cheapest too. I can't see why the Classic Custom's aren't Richlite. That baked maple puts me off. It looks like a Chinese copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
