I am offering a Gibson Memphis Midtown Custom Ebony from 2013, a still crafted in Memphis, Tennessee (USA), semi-hollow electric guitar featuring a lightweight Thinline mahogany body with resonance chambers (weighing just 3.98kg in total!), maple top with two F-holes, set mahogany neck with 60’s SlimTaper neck profile, bound Richlite fingerboard with bold white acrylic block inlays, two tonally versatile Gibson Burstbucker 1 & 2 humbucker pickups, and high-quality Gibson Tune-o-Matic bridge with Stopbar tailpiece in a gorgeous high-gloss ebony nitro finish with 5-ply body binding and gleaming chrome hardware in mint condition, including black Gibson luxury hardshell case, manufacturer’s papers, and professional setup with 10-gauge Elixir strings.

This beautiful semi-hollow guitar, known as the Gibson Midtown Custom, originates from Gibson’s now-closed Memphis, USA, facility and features a proven design with a partially hollowed-out mahogany body and a flat-top maple top. As a visually upgraded custom version compared to the standard Midtown, the guitar impresses with a glossy black ebony nitro finish and five-ply white body binding. Together with the bold block inlays set into the deep black Richlite fretboard and the elaborately designed Custom headstock, the guitar takes on a truly unique appearance that harmonizes perfectly with the shiny silver chrome hardware.

The thinline mahogany body weighs a substantial 3.98kg, giving the guitar a noticeable natural resonance even when played acoustically. Plugged in, two Gibson Burstbucker 1 & 2 humbuckers deliver the characteristic warm, mid-focused semi-acoustic tone, which is suitable for classic jazz and blues sounds as well as driving rock tones and groovy funk riffs. The guitar is an absolute all-rounder, and a sound sample of the model can be found at the top of the photo gallery.

Playability is very comfortable, thanks primarily to the medium-wide ’60s SlimTaper neck profile, the shortened 628mm scale length, and the 43mm nut width.

In short: This is a wonderful Gibson semi-acoustic guitar that offers fantastic sound characteristics, smooth playability, and the classic Gibson vintage look, all while remaining affordable!

This Gibson Memphis Midtown Custom was manufactured in this exact configuration only in the early 2010s at the now-closed Memphis factory and features outstanding build quality, which is now found at Gibson only in instruments of a significantly higher price range.

The guitar is in mint original condition and is technically flawless. Visually, if at all, it shows only the finest superficial wear (see photos). The frets are flawless.

The instrument has received a professional setup with 10-46 Elixir Optiweb strings, and I (a long-time guitar teacher) will ship it fully insured with DHL for €29.99 within Germany or €79.99 within the EU. Worldwide shipping available—individual shipping costs upon request.
