Model Background

Introduced in 2011, the Midtown series quickly became a hit for players seeking an instrument that merges vintage Gibson style with contemporary power and playability. The Midtown Kalamazoo, named in tribute to Gibson’s legendary Michigan factory, takes inspiration from the innovative Byrdland archtop of the 1950s.

It features the elegant looks of a classic Byrdland — multi-ply binding, flowerpot headstock inlay, pearloid block markers, and a refined archtop silhouette — while offering the practicality of a modern Midtown. Loaded with ’57 Classic pickups and versatile coil-splitting electronics, this guitar covers everything from warm jazz voicings to biting blues and rock tones.
