Gibson Midtown Custom 2014 Sunburst With Case

Summary: 
Here we have a Gibson Midtown Custom from 2014 complete with its case. These guitars were designed to bridge the gap between a Les Paul and a ES-335. Fitted with Burstbuckers the guitar offers a huge sonic palette to cover many genres and playing styles.

Model: Midtown Custom
Year built: 2014
Weight: 8lb 10oz  /  3.9kg (approx)
Hard case or Gig Bag? - Comes with Gibson hard case

Body Condition: 6.5/10
From a few feet away it looks fairly clean, up close you will find many bumps and scuffs all over the body. Nothing major or structural, purely cosmetic. On the back of the guitar there is some light buckle rash and on the neck horn is a little chip in the paint work.

Neck: 7/10 
The frets are in good condition with signs of wear and tear. No need to worry about any fret work just yet, plenty of life left in them. There are some signs of age related wear on the Richlite fretboard, but nothing you would not expect to find on a used electric guitar.

Hardware: 8/10
The machineheads are original and in good working order, some signs of tarnish to be expected on a guitar with nickel covering. All hardware functions as it should.

Electrics: 9/10 
Sockets, pots and switches etc are wear and tear items. The electrics on this guitar have been tested and are in excellent working order, but my standard disclaimer is it's a used guitar and one must expect SOME occasional electrical 'scratching' noise, crackling and popping when adjusting pots and switches. In our opinion the electrics on this guitar exhibit less than average 'noise' in normal play but there's no guarantee how long they will stay in this condition. 

Playability:
This guitar has been lovingly set up by Jon, one of the UK's most highly regarded and experienced guitar techs. 
That doesn't mean this guitar is the best playing guitar ever, it just means that he has taken the time to set it up. Adjust the action, intonation etc so that it plays as well as can be expected and stays in tune as good as any guitar of this type does. 
We all have differing styles and demands from our instruments. Some of us like fast n low actions for fretboard burning licks, others prefer a high n mightly action for show stopping windmills and downtuned heavy riffing and everything in between. No one set up suits all!
This specific guitar has been set up sympathetically for it's style so has a fairly low action, and minimal fret buzzing.

Priced with all of the above in mind but feel free to "make an offer".
