Seller's description

For Sale: 1996 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Florentine w/ OHSC Up for sale is a 1996 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Florentine, complete with its original hard-shell case. This is a very cool and increasingly hard-to-find Custom Shop model that combines classic Les Paul Custom appointments with a lighter, more resonant semi-hollow Florentine design. Features include a figured maple top, mahogany back and neck, ebony fingerboard, F-holes, and a pair of ’57 Classic humbuckers. These are great guitars for someone who wants the look and feel of a Les Paul Custom, but with a little more openness and acoustic character. Please note that I do not have any paperwork for this guitar. These did not originally come with certificates of authenticity, as Gibson did not begin issuing COAs with Custom Shop guitars until later. Condition This guitar is in very good condition overall and I would rate it a 7.5/10. It shows scratches and dings throughout, along with quite a bit of finish checking in the clear coat. There is also clear coat chipping around the low E tuner and around the bottom strap button on the butt of the guitar. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition. Importantly, there are no structural cracks or breaks. The checking is in the clear coat only. The guitar has had a few updates over the years. The nut has been replaced, it has been refretted with standard medium jumbo frets, the tuners have been upgraded to Grover locking tuners, and the strap buttons have been replaced. Everything else appears to be original. The neck is straight, the refret was done nicely, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no issues. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.
