arcangel6 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Does anyone got one of them. I m thinking to take one for me... Any information? Hi, I own one and love it. The biggest sticking point for some folks is the Richlite fingerboard. I actually love the fingerboard. This is also a flat top, not arched. Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Joe Joe,is your Midtown Custom in vintage sunburst,like in your avatar?If so,how does the 3 piece maple top match up?I'll be buying one soon and thought about going with the ebony version,if only to ease my concerns about a potentially unattractive mismatched top.Btw,my first choice would be vintage sunburst.

EdMan57 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well,I took the plunge and ordered a vintage sunburst Midtown Custom from Zzounds.Btw,I used the 12 month payment plan,which easily falls into my monthly gear budget.Anyways,Zzounds is supposed to have more sunburst and ebony guitars in stock on 5/10/12 [natural on 6/10/12],but you know how that can go.

aussiemeats Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 G'Day I have one, a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Midtown Custom and I added a Bigsby B7 to it. Here's are picts; sorry for the blur..(I got it signed by Joe Bonamassa..) and I have a ES 333 and an es 339 Love them all, but the ES 333 which I modified with Duncan Antiquity pickups, and a 58 long PickGuard and New 500k pots, and Bumble Bee Caps...is by far the best playing and sounding of ALL my guitars BUT the Midtown is very quickly becoming my FAVORITE..I just love the way this guitar FEELS and SOUNDS! The only thing I don't understand is why GIBSON doesn't match the maple front better It's a 3 piece front and mine was not matched very well at all...see photo... I've see several others at Guitar Centers, and they're not the well matched either.. What I wanna know is WHY? How come Gibson isn't matching them up better?? In every other area the Guitar is EXCEPTIONAL The backside is gorgeous ALSO How come no Bigsby option on the Custom??? Anyways..I LOVE mine regardless of the minor imperfections and my 333 and 339 BY THE WAY.....THE RICHLITE fingerboard is not EVEN a problem..My Neck FEELS SOOOOOOOO FINE!! LOVE this guitar in every way.... Thanks Gibson, the Midtown Custom is an outstanding Guitar. Cheers Mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkieDog Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Just bought an ebony... great guitars ... superb value for money. Love the Richlite fretboard. Burstbucker are brill! What's not to like :-) Bit brighter than a Les Paul but very versitile... good sound balance across the strings. Good sustain. Was well set up nut and neck wise... lowered the action and tail bar on mine but arrived very playable. Highly recommend them. As above about matching the maple panels... I bought the Ebony because of this... no joins showing... no problem. See other post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studioman Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I bought a Midtown Custom in Natural. I do NOT have that style of tuning keys. I LOVE mine! I have only gigged with it twice, as I normally won't take a "real guitar" to a gig (I generally play lower end stuff live, unless it's something bigger). If your fingers are actually touching the fret board, HOW do you sound in tune pressing THAT HARD? But I truly love my Midtown! GREAT all around axe. Bites for 80s hair metal, soft for blues/Jazz-y feel. I can't say enough about it for the $.. BUY ONE!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnappi Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does anyone got one of them. I m thinking to take one for me... Any information? I bought one last week in the heritage sunburst, I love it. I have a couple of substantially more expensive Gibsons and a Heritage and it shines right a long with them. I'm not sorry I bought it. ZZounds had them at $1099 with case, shipping included! BTW, I'd post a pic of them but don't know how. Can anyone tell me?
