Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Ps. If your mate thinks that's ugly then I don't wanna know what beauty is
I wouldn't call them ugly but until you adjust they look a little off due to the flat top. Fine dead on as in the pic above, but in 3 dimensions it stands out more. However, I kinda like the simplicity of it.
My P90 loaded Midtown does an awesome Robben Ford impression, even if I don't!

Do you buy and sell a lot of guitars?
Yeah, I chop and change a lot, occasionally one will stay. I traded a USA Jackson DK1 for the Midtown, then the midtown went as part of a number of amps and guitars I traded for a PRS Private Stock. I had issues with the neck pickup sounding really muddy. I think it was Burstbuckers in it, I also have them in a CR8 Les Paul and they were very different in the two guitars. I tried bare knuckle Emeralds in the Midtown as well as the original Scrapyard Dog prototype pup from Ash and nothing made it really sing like a good 335 or 336/359 does.
May have been the super solid back, which was just a slab of mahogany carved out from the front and then the tops stuck on. Didn't really vibrate unplugged. It was by no means a bad guitar, it was built well. Finished superbly for a production Gibson, but not a patch on my '68 335 which I decided was the only 335-a-like I needed.

As regards the flat top, my main guitar is a Kotzen Tele. None flatter. I think I kinda like the idea
