{"product_id":"gibson-midtown-custom-2012","title":"Gibson Midtown Custom 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful condition Gibson Midtown Custom. Comes with papers and original hardcase. The Gibson Midtown Custom 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. You'll love the feel of the new Midtown body shape. Larger than your typical solidbody but smaller than a hollowbody, the Midtown feels just right cradled in your arms. And the '60s Slim-Taper neck gives you the comfortable playability you expect from a Gibson. A pair of Burstbuckers and a gorgeous nitro finish top off the Gibson Midtown Custom.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eGibson Midtown Custom at a Glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnique Body Construction and Size\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Richlite fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNitrocellulose finish\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnique Body Construction and Size\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe most unique aspect of the Gibson Midtown Standard is the innovative body. It is slightly larger than your everyday solidbody electric guitar, yet smaller than a typical semi-hollowbody. The body is made from solid mahogany and is strategically chambered for optimal sound and relieved weight. The Gibson Midtown Standard features a solid maple top with f-holes to give it a definitive semi-hollow look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Richlite fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Midtown Custom has a Black Richlite fingerboard. This extremely dense material gives you the look of ebony - along with snappy attack and prodigious sustain typical of that revered tonewood. Richlite is made primarily of (recycled) paper (certified by the Forest Stewardship Council) from managed forests. The paper is treated with resin, then pressed and baked to create solid sheets. The same material has been used for decades in aerospace, the marine industry, and in sports (e.g., skate ramp surfaces), so you know it's durable. Environmental sustainability and great sustain - Black Richlite gives you both.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNitrocellulose finish\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Midtown Custom wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '60s and '70s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to \"breathe.\" Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eGibson Midtown Custom Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances looks and tone\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChambered mahogany body with flat, bound maple top and f-holes\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMahogany neck ('60s Slim Taper)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Richlite fingerboard with acrylic block inlay\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic Split Diamond headstock inlay\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChrome Tune-o-matic bridge \/ stoptail; Keystone tuners\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Gibson Burstbuckers\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e2 volume, 2 tone controls; three-way pickup toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eGibson Hardshell case included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37508030103742,"sku":"8100004","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5037\/3566\/products\/36.jpg?v=1605075841","url":"https:\/\/guitarcolonel.com\/products\/gibson-midtown-custom-2012","provider":"The Guitar Colonel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
