Ltd. Ed. Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO
The Gibson Les Paul Standard is the most famous and sought after electric guitar in the world. And now, Epiphone has added a new twist to this classic rocker by including a gorgeous Flame Maple top with dual “f” holes, and a semi-hollow body that gives the legendary Les Paul a fresh yet classic, upscale look that’s lightweight and resonant. The perfect combination of Les Paul sound and Epiphone style! Plus, the LP Standard Florentine PRO features Epiphone acclaimed ProBucker humbucker pickups, both with coil-splitting for a new “standard” in looks and performance.
AAA Flame Maple Top and Classic Features
The Epiphone Ltd Ed Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features a semi-hollow / chambered Mahogany body that with traditional “f” holes for a new look that combines the Les Paul profile with Epiphone’s legendary archtops. The Les Paul Florentine PRO also comes standard with a beautiful AAA Flame Maple veneer top that delivers the classic LP tone and sustain but with the hint of tone from a semi-hollowbody guitar like a 335 or Sheraton. The body also features singly ply cream binding on the top for a beautiful vintage look. This Florentine PRO has a beautiful sunburst finish as well – It’s either “Iced Tea” or “Honeyburst” – I find it hard to tell the difference but the photos are as accurate as possible to the actual color (aside from differences in individual computer monitor settings)
Like all Epiphone Les Pauls—and unlike less costly designs—the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features a 14 degree angled headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut for longer sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by “string-tree” gadgets. The Mahogany neck has a standard 24.75” scale with a 12” radius and features a 1960s SlimTaper TM “D” profile with a glued-in neck joint for lifelong stability. The “D” profile neck is easy to hold for hours of playing time. The smooth Rosewood fingerboard comes with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 22 medium-jumbo frets, a 1.68” nut, and 1-ply cream binding.
Epiphone ProBucker™ Humbuckers with Coil-Splitting
The Ltd Ed Les Paul Florentine PRO now features ProBucker pickups for that one-of-a kind Les Paul sound. ProBucker pickups feature Alnico II magnets, the same magnets used in sought-after vintage PAF humbuckers. Alnico II magnets provide a rich, warm tone with a sparkling high end and a solid low end. And like PAF era humbuckers, Epiphone ProBucker pickups are incredibly responsive with a range of tones. The Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features a ProBucker 2 in the neck position and a ProBucker 3 in the bridge position. The ProBucker 3 is slightly overwound to provide balance with the neck pickup and a bit of edge for lead work. Both the neck and bridge pickups also feature coil-splitting which is easily activated by a push/pull volume control. Coil splitting allows players a variety of pickups sounds and combinations from single-coil bark to full humbucker bite.
Epiphone pickups are critically acclaimed for their vintage-perfect sound and superior workmanship. Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures quiet operation, free from microphonic hum. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is placed on the unit to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax. Epiphone uses only the highest quality parts for its pickups, such as ABS plastic bobbins, 1010 Cold Rolled Steel pole shoes and pole screws, Alnico magnets and the finest wire available. A guitar with Epiphone ProBucker pickups is a guitar you can truly play for life.
