LPC666 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hey guys, I was doing some internet browsing this morning and stumbled across this beauty that made my jaw hit the floor, now i am GASing hard. Does anybody know anything about this guitar? any help is much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The semi-hollow "Floretine" was a model that Gibson was experimenting with as far back as the early/mid 90's. The model name "Floretine" has recently been used by Gibson for a completely different solid body model, so even searching for information can be confusing. I played one of these (blue sparkle) at a local music store during the 90's, and found it to be a VERY interesting instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPC666 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Larry thanks for the reply, I have played Florentine's myself before and love them, I should have made my question clearer though I was more interested in what particular finish is this guitar and was it a one off or a run they did?

RobertAndersson Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Funny you mention it, Gibson did tweet about the Florentine just the other day: http://ow.ly/i/2cjzZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdw Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Dude!! I've been staring at those too. Wildwood has several of these, new, limited edition. Scroll down on this page: http://www.wildwoodguitars.com/electrics/gibson_custom_shop/2013_limited_run.htm These all have the richlite f/bs so that's one drawback. But man!! I'd be willing to overlook that little issue. [drool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Dent Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I love these. As a matter of fact, after trying a few of them, I just picked one up today. Transluscent amber. I'm loving this baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
