Gibson Les Paul Florentine

Got one of these today. It is very comfortable to play, not heavy at all.

I didn't know that Gibson made a Les Paul with f-holes from 1995-1999.

Nice looking guitar. How much did you pay for her?

$1,000.00

Was setup with 9's. Sounds a little muddy, and it needs a setup. It needs to be intonated and pickup height adjusted. It has pretty low action.

All in all, very good shape, no buckle rash or bad spots. Nice neck that feels real good to me. I'll get this setup on Saturday.

I like the wine red color with white binding. Really stands out. I didn't know anything about the Florentine before today. The f-holes give it a nice look.

Not as heavy as my other Les Pauls, and maybe a little neck heavy, but not bad. I am sure that I can get used to it.

I was looking at a wine red studio at Guitar Center a few weeks ago for about the same price. I think I did pretty good. I know that I am happy with it.

That's cool. Get your favorite guitar string and get it set the intonation set correctly and rock out man
