Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Cobra Burst #CS601588

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt “Tree Of Life” Cobra Burst is a masterfully crafted instrument that embodies the elegance, power, and timeless voice of the legendary Les Paul Custom. Created with exceptional attention to detail, this Dealer Select model pairs rare visual beauty with the uncompromising craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop. Its Cobra Burst finish reveals the dramatic depth and movement of a handpicked 2-piece 5A Quilt Maple top, creating a breathtaking landscape of figured wood that flows gracefully over the classic Les Paul silhouette.

The foundation of this instrument is a resonant 1-piece Mahogany body finished in a luxurious Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, allowing the natural character and warmth of the wood to breathe with every note. With no weight relief and a substantial 9 lbs 11 oz presence, this Les Paul Custom delivers the rich sustain, authority, and harmonic complexity that players have cherished for generations. The multi-ply binding and refined Custom Shop appointments frame the body with a striking elegance, while the black multi-ply pickguard, gold hardware, gold-plated pickup covers, black mounting rings, and cream switch tip complete its sophisticated aesthetic.

The neck is crafted from solid Mahogany and features a comfortable Modern Medium C profile measuring .818 inches at the first fret and .963 inches at the twelfth fret. Designed for both expressive rhythm work and effortless lead playing, the neck joins the body with a long tenon joint for enhanced resonance and stability. The Ebony fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and exquisite Mother of Pearl Block inlays that provide a classic Custom visual identity. A Corian nut with a 42.85mm / 1.69-inch width and a 24.75-inch scale length offers a familiar feel, smooth response, and reliable tuning performance.

The defining Tree Of Life theme brings an artistic spirit to this Les Paul Custom, blending traditional craftsmanship with a distinctive collector-grade presentation. Every detail, from the engraved 2-ply Les Paul Custom truss rod cover to the gold-plated hardware and Grover Kidney tuning machines, reflects the dedication behind this exclusive instrument. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide a foundation of precision, sustain, and dependable performance.

Electrically, this Les Paul Custom delivers a versatile and powerful voice through a 490R neck pickup and 498T bridge pickup, offering warmth, clarity, and commanding output across a wide range of musical styles. The controls feature two 500K CTS volume pots, two 500K CTS tone pots, a hand-wired harness, and a Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch for authentic Custom Shop tone shaping. The 1/4-inch output jack ensures dependable connection, while the black speed knobs provide a classic touch of functionality and style.
