Here is something new – a Gibson Midtown Standard with Bigsby. Always on the search for new ideas, in 2011 Gibson introduced the Midtown as a blend of classic designs and new features and technologies.
The Midtown is based on the visuals of the ES-3xx series guitars, and is thinline but isn’t arched, it’s a chambered, flat top guitar. The top is solid maple (rather than laminate as on the ES-3xx series) and the back is chambered mahogany.

Here is a very nice 1927 Gibson L-4 archtop guitar. Gibson introduced the L-series guitars around 1902 with the L-1, L-2, and L-3 and the L-4 first appeared in 1911 or 1912, and was produced with minor variations (for example, the soundhole ring changed periodically, using plain, diamond and checkerboard patterns) until 1956.

The Gibson ES-5 was first produced in 1949, as an alternate electric model of the L-5. Intended for jazz players, the ES-5 had three pickups and lots of controls to allow subtle tonal adjustments.

Here’s an unusual find: a 2002 DAquisto New Yorker archtop. This is model DQ-NYE.
James D’Aquisto apprenticed to John D’Angelico in New York, and following D’Angelico’s death began building guitars with his own name, until his death in 1995. Original D’Aquisto guitars are rare and extremely valuable, into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
