The Gibson Midtown series consisted of many different models. The Midtown Standard, Dexlue, Custom, Kalamazoo and Signature (Bass) models are the main ones. These were stylized after the Memphis plants ES-335, ES-355, Byrdland and the LP Signature Bass guitars. While they might look like the flagship models, they are built in completely different ways. These are more akin to a Chambered Les Paul with F-Holes. They have a solid mahogany back that is chambered and then a maple top put on them instead of being the usual carved Maple-Poplar-Maple sandwiches. These midtowns are also slightly reduced in size.

These have a bad reputation for poor construction quality and many finish blemishes. Because of that, these are usually pretty affordable models.
