By merging the best attributes of Gibson’s legendary solidbody and archtop electric guitars, the Midtown Standard and Midtown Custom of 2011 became instant hits with players of all stripes.
Now Gibson USA taps those same irresistible qualities and adds a vintage-vibed twist to create a stunning new performer: the Midtown Standard P-90. This great new guitar maintains its predecessors’ trimmed-down and more player-friendly body size that still emulates the lines of Gibson’s classic archtops, but which is built with 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.
To take the Midtown Standard P-90 anywhere from raw vintage rock, blues and funk to contemporary jazz, Americana, or whatever you want to throw at it, Gibson USA loads the guitar with a pair of fat- and rich-sounding P-90 single-coil pickups.
Gibson Midtown Standard P-90 features:
- Chambered Mahogany body with solid Maple top and f-holes
- Mahogany neck with fast, comfortable ’60s-style profile
- Pair of P-90 Soapbar pickups in the neck and bridge
- Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece

- Binding: Cream
- Nut/E.O.B: 1.695/2.260
- Scale Length: 24.75″
