UTILIZATION

- The handle is very nice. I have the Gibson LP studio faded wornbrown whose handle is "rounded 50ies. The handle this here is a slim type D 60ies, I feel a clear difference and it seems thinner and" flat. "

SOUNDS

Sound: I have a Start button am sp Maple, a Gibson LP full mahogany. Florentine with maple stands the first two just by its basic sound more accurate than the full LP mahogany base and a little more loudness. Its semi-hollow body makes it easier to exploit the "feedback" to play with.

Next update settings with my original Gibson pickups with a split push / pull as well, I am quite a fan of single coil pickup setting and micro head double coil. I then get a well balanced without hollow sound.
I also just love playing on the pickups humbucker head and cruncher slightly saturating lamps for solos. This Florentine version when I activate the bridge pickups with a single coil and filter a little treble "tone", I get a clear and balanced sound (on my gibson or I almost never use this microphone only ).

Currently tested on: VOX AC4TV and + cabinet 112, a Marshall Lead 12 + Stomblab II, a Head Egnater tweaker 15 + Vox 112 cab.

My favorite tone remains both pickups activated, the upper and the lower normal single coil.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 days and have used it in the last jam on Thursday.

I tested most of the classic Fender, Gibson I also have a strat am Sp and Lp studio full mahogany. I also tested jackson and Washburn and 2/3 brands cheap.

Feature (s) favorite (s): Buy favorite is looking for a semi-hollow tone to her, plus she is beautiful and reasonably sized for a half box. A soundboard quality AAA AA when Gibson puts on most of its models. The push / pull to split the basic microphones. A very low weight for Lp.

Quality / Price: Unbeatable. Gibson Florentine first "custom" to begin 3000euro .. The differences are visible in the saddles and lifts that are nevertheless very good. I have not tested Florentine Gibson to compare the sound power, but compared to my studio I think Epiphone is doing hands down!

Do again this choice: Of course! Very very good product! A search of various sounds, the beautiful perfect complement my sound palette. Jazzy solos to "sound experiments" to play with the kind feedback Psychédélik rock, I only discover but very pleasantly surprised by Epiphone. Went, I put 10/10 .. too good
