The Story

Les Paul Custom Florentine Transparent Ebony 1996

This is a very cool and not seen too often Les Paul Custom Florentine, built by the Gibson Custom Shop in 1996. The guitar has a transparent ebony finish over a quilt maple top, a block inlaid ebony fretboard with multi-ply binding, and gold hardware. The main feature of the guitar is the semi-hollow body, which brings this one down to a slim 7 lbs, 8 oz! The guitar has lacquer checking around the headstock inlays, and Dunlop strap locks installed. The original case is included!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
