  • Description: UGC34581. If you're going to come and see this guitar in person, bring your sunglasses. This over-the-top decorated Gibson Custom Shop L-5 is based on the highly decorated Florentine model Gibson banjos of the '30s. The guitar itself was hand crafted by Custom Shop luthier Jim Triggs who turned it over to Greg Rich for the ultimate appointments when both were working at Gibson in the early '90s. The guitar is based on the L-5 with a Venetian cutaway, and two gold plated humbucking pickups. The peghead of the guitar is pearloid with a butterfly of small rhinestones, and border of gold sparkle. The fretboard is also pearloid and the pattern is a replica of the original Florentine fret markers that features scenes of Florence, Italy. The pickguard features the cityscape of Florence as well. From the tip of the peghead with its Gibson script logo in rhinestones to the gold plated, engraved tailpiece, this is a one of a kind treasure that will be the crowning jewel of any collection.
