QR Code Link to This Post
This guitar was purchased new in 2012 and only played a handful of times and never left my smoke free house. It is in Mint, Like New condition. The pictures are of the actual guitar and case being sold.
The Midtown Standard P-90 has a trimmed-down and player-friendly body size and features the Midtown line's advanced chambered, solid-wood construction (rather than laminated top and back) to truly embody the optimum marriage of solidbody and archtop.
The Midtown Standard P-90 is loaded with a pair of fat- and rich-sounding P-90 single-coil pickups, and is dressed in a hand-sprayed, high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in Vintage Sunburst
The Midtown Standard P-90 features premium tone woods, using Grade-A timbers beneath the four transparent finish options. A solid mahogany body is strategically chambered for optimum resonance and capped with a solid maple top with traditional f-holes. Its solid mahogany neck is carved to a fast, comfortable '60s-style profile that measures .800" at the 1st fret and .875" at the 12th. The genuine rosewood fingerboard carries 22 medium-jumbo frets and is inlaid with traditional acrylic trapezoids that link the Midtown Standard P-90 to one of its predecessors, the Les Paul Standard, while cream binding enhances both fingerboard and body top. To best show off its finishes, the Midtown Standard P-90 is built without a pickguard.
It features a pair of Gibson's legendary P-90 pickups. These beloved pickups have a fatter, richer tone than thinner single-coils, and provide everything from thick grit and snarl for rock 'n' roll, to rich, creamy warmth for jazz, to singing blues tones with great snappy and funky tones in between. Each pickup is made to the same specs as the vintage examples that made the P-90 famous, including coils wound from 42-AWG wire with two Alnico V magnets loaded beneath each pickup. To keep it all simple, Gibson USA routes these pickups through the traditional 3-way toggle switch and master volume and tone controls with classic gold Speed Knobs. For optimum resonance and sustain, the Midtown Standard P-90s carries the classic pairing of a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece with a PLEK-cut Corian™ nut up top, partnered with a set of premium Grover™ Keystone tuners.
