«  Really not bad »

June 2013, Florentine cutaway, neat (she throws) finish and proper hardware (it is contrary to the agreement Gigis).
Therefore weight, as her sisters (450 vintage gold top and p90), and neck profile well in the hand (a little bigger than the 60s Gigi).

Frets leveled and finished around the edges, yet nothing to grumble.
Very wide belt fasteners, it will keep it on (not like my Gigis).

The pickups are unnamed, non-split-(but I did it for the neck pickup and it's so good), and microphone (fast feedback).

UTILIZATION

A treat to play, but I quibble my Gigis (to fund partially recessed, low-end studio) are too small to give good feeling les paul proposed here.
Does not sting the lame, and no comfort chamfer course which is painful for the forearm (it cuts off circulation, not for nothing that Zakk dons leather sleeves riffer as Beelzebub).

Warm and full of sustain but not compressed, it is empty and it is once again connected.

SOUNDS

Well, microphones microphone does not mean bad, just that you do not play hard with, especially with substantial distortion rate.

The bass is warm and round, fat and overflowing, and it is surprising as it's nice actually. Friends of dry surgical go your way!
The treble is very sly, a lot of grain and detail, much leaner.
In fact the balance is like on my '60s tribute P90.
Except that I could thin the neck pickup in the splittant and is delicious on the attacks, it costs more shit.

Distortion in the bridge pickup has a breakneck pace, a feast for all the harmonics goes to John Sykes, it's just awesome. And thinness is an advantage.

Overall it is quilted with sustain, good plan.

Unfortunately, the feedback effect happens quickly for the house but it will require investment group (the shadow 45 roros are all made to correct in case) ...

OVERALL OPINION

What ... ready to think, I paid my Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe (white and gold, mahogany) 275 euros and microphones are even at high volume so the plan is more interesting since we have nothing to edit.

For lovers of big sound, Harley has released this model version 24 cases active pickups for 10 euros more to the wise ...

I wanted the Florentine custom, and my good experiences with other paul harley led me to this purchase I do not regret (it remains at home).
