Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Fireburst #CS601351

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Fireburst is a stunning expression of Gibson's highest level of craftsmanship, blending the legendary performance of the Les Paul Custom with extraordinary visual elegance. Finished in a radiant Fireburst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this exceptional instrument showcases a handpicked 2-piece 5A quilt maple top whose deep, three-dimensional figuring comes alive beneath the light. Framed by multi-ply binding and adorned with luxurious gold hardware throughout, it is a guitar that commands attention from every angle.

Built upon a solid 1-piece mahogany body with no weight relief, this Les Paul delivers the rich harmonic complexity, sustain, and authoritative voice that have defined the model for generations. Weighing 9 lbs 11 oz, it offers a substantial yet comfortable feel, striking an excellent balance between resonance and playability. The long tenon neck joint enhances tonal transfer between the neck and body, contributing to exceptional sustain and a remarkably lively response.

The solid mahogany neck features a comfortable Modern Medium C profile, measuring .818" at the first fret and .963" at the twelfth fret. Designed to feel equally at home in the hands of traditionalists and modern players, the neck provides effortless playability across the entire fingerboard. An ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius is fitted with 22 medium-jumbo frets and elegant Mother of Pearl block inlays, delivering both a smooth playing surface and the timeless visual character associated with the Les Paul Custom. A Corian nut measuring 42.85 mm (1.69 inches) ensures precise string spacing and dependable tuning stability.

The guitar is equipped with Gibson's proven pairing of a 490R neck humbucker and a 498T bridge humbucker. Together they produce a versatile range of tones, from warm and articulate cleans to thick, harmonically rich overdrive with singing sustain. The electronics feature a hand-wired harness with two 500K CTS volume controls and two 500K CTS tone controls, paired with a Switchcraft three-way toggle switch for reliable operation and maximum tonal integrity. Every nuance of the instrument's voice is delivered with remarkable clarity and dynamic sensitivity.

Premium appointments are found throughout. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide outstanding intonation and sustain, while Grover Kidney tuning machines offer smooth, stable tuning performance. Gold-plated pickup covers, brass strap buttons, black speed knobs, black mounting rings, a cream switch tip, and a black multi-ply pickguard create a sophisticated visual contrast against the vivid Fireburst finish. Completing the presentation is a two-ply engraved Les Paul Custom truss rod cover, a signature detail that reflects the instrument's prestigious heritage.

Accompanied by its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity booklet, this Dealer Select Les Paul Custom represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors and players seeking a rare and visually striking Custom Shop instrument. Combining premium materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless Les Paul tone, it stands as a remarkable example of Gibson's enduring commitment to excellence.
