Rare Custom Shop Wes Paul Florentine combining archtop elements with Les Paul ergonomics. Features carved spruce top with f-hole styling, semi-hollow construction, engraved Bigsby tailpiece, bound ebony fingerboard, and the flower-pot L-5 headstock inlay—details not commonly seen together on a modern Gibson.

Warm, articulate response with a more open acoustic character compared to a solid LP.
