Hi All,
Was just wondering why the Semi-Hollow Florentine isnt as loved as other LP models?
Besides the fact I'm a sucker for f-holes, these guitars are really beautiful. Just picked up a 97 with a nice natural finish and quilt top.
Are the differences between the Florentine and Florentine plus just the tops used? Flame and Quilt vs. no flame/quilt?
Why did Gibson stop making these beauties? Are they still available through the Custom Shop?
As a newbie (sort-of), getting back into playing and collecting - Gibson's website is pretty bad at giving information about, well, anything IMO. Can't make heads or tails what's available, what's not etc.
Insight into the Florentine is greatly apprecaited!
Best,
asg
