Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Cobra Burst #CS601599

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom "Tree of Life" in Cobra Burst is a spectacular interpretation of one of Gibson's most iconic designs, elevated through extraordinary materials, master level craftsmanship, and exclusive Dealer Select appointments. Built in limited numbers for discerning collectors and players alike, this exceptional Les Paul Custom pairs a handpicked 5A quilt maple top with a rich Cobra Burst finish that showcases the dramatic figuring from every angle. Wrapped in multi-ply binding and finished in a flawless gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it is an instrument that commands attention before a single note is played. Weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, it delivers the substantial feel and unmistakable authority that define a classic, non weight relieved Les Paul.

At its core is a solid one piece mahogany body capped with a meticulously selected two piece 5A quilt maple top. The combination produces the powerful sustain, rich harmonic content, and unmistakable warmth that have made the Les Paul the benchmark for generations. A solid mahogany neck is joined with a long tenon for maximum resonance and stability, while the comfortable Modern Medium C profile offers a smooth, familiar feel that effortlessly accommodates everything from vintage inspired rhythm work to expressive lead playing. The ebony fingerboard features a 12 inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, elegant mother of pearl block inlays, and a Corian nut measuring 1.69 inches, providing exceptional precision and effortless playability across the entire neck.

Every detail reflects Gibson Custom Shop's uncompromising attention to quality. Gold hardware beautifully complements the Cobra Burst finish, while the gold plated pickup covers, Grover Kidney tuners, ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge, and stop bar tailpiece deliver outstanding tuning stability, sustain, and classic Les Paul performance. Black multi ply appointments, including the pickguard, mounting rings, and switch washer, provide striking visual contrast, while the engraved two ply Les Paul Custom truss rod cover completes the instrument's unmistakable Custom aesthetic.

The electronics deliver the powerful voice that has made the Les Paul Custom a favorite across countless genres. A Gibson 490R humbucker in the neck position produces warm, articulate cleans and rich, singing lead tones, while the 498T bridge pickup offers aggressive output, exceptional clarity, and harmonically complex overdrive with remarkable note definition. The hand wired harness features premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers along with a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, preserving every nuance of the pickups while delivering smooth, responsive control and outstanding tonal transparency.

From shimmering clean passages to thick, sustaining overdrive, this Dealer Select Les Paul Custom responds with exceptional depth, dynamic range, and effortless musicality. Every note blooms with authority, complex chords retain remarkable clarity, and lead lines sustain with the vocal quality that has defined the Les Paul for more than seven decades. It is an instrument that feels equally at home on the concert stage, in the recording studio, or as the centerpiece of a world class collection.

Complete with its Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity booklet, this Dealer Select Les Paul Custom "Tree of Life" in Cobra Burst is an extraordinary example of Gibson Custom Shop artistry. Combining breathtaking aesthetics, premium tonewoods, and timeless Les Paul performance, it represents an exceptional opportunity to own a truly inspiring and highly collectible instrument.
