In this day and age, the Gibson Les Paul Florentine is one of a multitude of guitars, electric, acoustic and semi-acoustic, available to the discerning guitar player. A stylish, sleek-looking and smooth playing guitar, the Les Paul Florentine unfortunately is no longer mass-produced. Any guitar player desiring this warm-sounding classic will have to hunt one down. However, the versatility of the tones, the man-made – as opposed to machine-made – neck and frets, and the aesthetic beauty of the Florentine make it a must-have for any guitarist that likes substance with their style. Although rare and usually expensive, the Florentine is still a very desirable guitar for serious players.

The Florentine was made for the public through the years 1995 to 1999. As a Gibson guitar, it remained faithful to the now classic Les Paul shape. It is a semi-hollow-bodied guitar, with two “F” holes on a flamed top made from maple.
