Hi guys, I'm Richard Norton and this is not a 335.

The Midtown Custom, though it's inspired by a 335, the hollow body and the shape are about where the similarities end.
The [N] body is a little bit smaller than a 335.
Not as small as a 339, but definitely smaller than a 335.
It's a flat top, rather than the traditional carved top.
And that's about it.
The mahogany body in this, rather than it being maple laminate top and back,
is a solid mahogany core that they've routed out all of the internal cavities and stuck a maple cap on top.
And that really gives it that mid-tone bark that sits it tonally between the 335 and the Les Paul.
In terms of playability, compared to a 335, it's a little bit foreign.
Because of the flat top, you don't have that big bulk sitting around your gut.
The neck is different, it's a 60's slim taper as opposed to the thick C that you'll get with a 335.
The Rich Light fretboard, which is a composite effectively built from paper and resin, doesn't affect the playability at all.
It feels like a rosewood board.
If it wasn't for the fact that Gibson announce and promote the fact that they're using this sustainable material,
rather than rosewood, you wouldn't notice the difference.
So, the song at the top of the video, I've bounced the DI's from each of the guitars.
They're in the description below, you can download those so you can run this guitar and the 335 through your own rig and compare it for yourself.
What do these guitars sound like through your amp?
Similarly, with the tone comparisons we're just about to have a look at, I've done the same for those DI's.
So, here we have the Gibson Midtown Custom.
