Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO (Honeyburst) Overview

The 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 partially hollowed-out body that gives the legendary Les Paul a fresh upscale look with a lighter, more resonant body. It's the perfect combination of Les Paul sound and Epiphone style. Plus, the LP Standard Florentine PRO features Epiphone acclaimed ProBuckerGäó humbucker pickups, both with coil-tapping, for a new "standard" in looks and performance.

The Epiphone Ltd Ed Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features a Mahogany body that is carved out with 2 traditional "f" holes for a new look that combines the Les Paul profile with Epiphone's legendary archtops. The Les Paul Florentine PRO features a beautiful 'AAA' Flame Maple veneer top that delivers the classic LP tone and sustain but with the hint of 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. 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 SlimTaperGäó "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.

The Ltd Ed Les Paul Florentine PRO now features ProBuckerGäó pickups for that one-of-a kind Les Paul sound. ProBuckerGäó 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 ProBuckerGäó pickups are incredibly responsive with a range of tones.-áThe Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features a ProBucker-2Gäó in the neck position and a ProBucker-3Gäó in the bridge position. The ProBucker-3Gäó is slightly overwound to provide balance with the neck pickup and a bit of edge for lead work. ProBuckersGäó emulate the sound of original PAF pickups which were hand-wound with a few extra turns of wire. Both the neck and bridge pickups also feature coil-tapping which is easily activated by a push/pull volume control. Coil tapping allows players an infinite variety of pickups sounds from single-coil bark to full humbucker bite.

Epiphone pickups are critically acclaimed for their vintage-perfect sound and superior workmanship. When winding its humbuckers, 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 magnet wire available. A guitar with Epiphone ProBuckeGäó pickups is a guitar you can truly play for life.

Epiphone's Ltd Ed Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO features Epiphone's legendary rock-solid hardware including a LockToneGäó Tune-o-matic fully adjustable bridge and a Stopbar tailpiece. And now, Epiphone's updated, patent pending design auto locks the bridge and tailpiece in place with no tools needed for improved sustain. The Les Paul Standard Florentine PRO uses 1" diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service. Epiphone's all-metal toggle switches use rugged spring-steel contacts to ensure years of reliable service and performance. And Epiphone's proprietary output jack features an improved contact shape and a heavy-duty spring steel to increase reliability. Tuning is easy fast, and intuitive with Epiphone new "Deluxe" machine heads with an 18:1 ratio to ensure tuning stability and long life.
