A Bigsby on a Les Paul ?  :o

That's like putting false titties on Helen Bonham- Carter !

I like everything about it, except the florentine cutaway.

If that was Silverburst without the Bigsby, I'd love it :?

Well this guitar is so far up my alley it's untrue. If only it had appeared a few years ago when I was on good money and not drinking I'd have pressed buy within minutes.
 
I like all the classics, but the LP is my *1 icon and I no longer have one. Plus I like oddball guitars so a Les Paul with a pointy bit and a bigsby is perfect.

I'm not a big fan of the Florentine cutaway.

I opened this thinking 'impossible, in this day and age'

And I was right :P

I quite like it - sort of an ES-125 vibe with that cutaway.

Then again, I've been debating adding a Bigsby to my Les Paul for many years.

A lot of 1950s Les Paul Standards and especially Customs left the Les Paul Factory equipped with Bigsbys.

I am in the camp of "would have been a cool guitar, too bad about the Florentine."
