Members vcnyls Posted June 29, 2011 Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 Reminds me of the Gibson Vegas they came out with a few years back and which, if memory serves, didn't sell particularly well. My guess is that this one doesn't fare any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted June 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm diggin' the concoction. Too bad they haven't come up with a semi-hollow for a grand yet, this one looks like it could've been close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted June 29, 2011 Members Share Posted June 29, 2011 Is it just me or does the body size look more 339 than 335? MSRP is 2149. Which translates to a street of? Just venturing a guess, $1400-1500? There is definitely a gap there in the semi hollow market...between the imports but below the $2K+ mark where 335/339s, heritages, nice yamahas (I think), hamers etc start to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mirrorball Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 Is it just me or does the body size look more 339 than 335? http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Designer/Gibson-USA/Midtown-Standard-with-Bigsby.aspx Description certainly makes it sound closer to a 339 "With a trimmed-down and more player friendly body size that still emulates the best of Gibson tradition, built with solid-wood construction rather than a laminated top and back, the Midtown Standard with Bigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members craigny Posted June 30, 2011 Members Share Posted June 30, 2011 This example isn't really doing it for me, but that could be the Bigsby's fault... +1 without the Bigsby i'd be much more attracted..but cool nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MojoFilter Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 That looks pretty good, and the pickups are among Gibson's best, IMO. I'd certainly take a look at it if a 335 were out of my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly take a look at it if a 335 were out of my price range. I'll grant gibson that. the 57 classic and + are among the best humbuckers available in stores.. imo.

Members goosefartfan Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 personally, I'm thrilled that Gibson is putting out more thin 60's necks. But are they trying to imitate a Epi Wildcat (OK this has a double cutaway). Cover the horns and tell me what you see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
