Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Fireburst #CS601397

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree of Life" Fireburst is an extraordinary expression of master craftsmanship, created for players and collectors who seek uncompromising beauty, tone, and refinement. Featuring a breathtaking handpicked two piece 5A quilt maple top beneath a radiant Fireburst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this exceptional instrument captures light with remarkable depth and dimension. Every detail reflects the artistry and precision that define the Gibson Custom Shop, making this Dealer Select model a truly distinctive interpretation of the iconic Les Paul Custom.

The foundation begins with a solid one piece mahogany body with no weight relief, delivering the rich sustain, powerful midrange, and authoritative resonance that have made the Les Paul legendary for generations. A solid mahogany neck is joined to the body with a traditional long tenon for maximum stability and tonal transfer, while the comfortable Modern Medium C profile offers a balanced feel that inspires confidence across every position of the neck. The 24.75 inch scale length preserves the familiar warmth and effortless playability that players have long associated with this celebrated design.

An elegant ebony fingerboard provides a smooth and responsive playing surface, adorned with classic mother of pearl block inlays and framed by luxurious multi ply binding. Twenty two medium jumbo frets and a 12 inch radius create an ideal platform for expressive bends, articulate chord work, and fluid lead playing. A Corian nut contributes to consistent tuning stability and precise string spacing, completing a neck that is both refined and highly playable.

The electronics deliver the unmistakable voice of a modern Les Paul Custom. A Gibson 490R humbucker in the neck position produces warm, articulate cleans with rich harmonic character, while the powerful 498T bridge humbucker adds focused mids, dynamic attack, and singing sustain that excels from classic rock to modern high gain performance. Hand wired electronics featuring premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers, along with a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, ensure exceptional signal integrity and responsive control over every nuance of the instrument's voice.

Premium hardware complements both the performance and visual elegance of this remarkable guitar. A gold plated ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide outstanding sustain and accurate intonation, while Grover Kidney tuning machines offer dependable tuning stability. Black multi ply appointments, black speed knobs, gold pickup covers, brass strap buttons, and the engraved two ply Les Paul Custom truss rod cover complete the sophisticated presentation with timeless style.

Weighing 10 pounds, this Dealer Select Les Paul Custom delivers the substantial feel and commanding resonance expected from a traditionally constructed solid body instrument. It includes its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case along with the Certificate of Authenticity booklet, affirming its place among Gibson's finest creations. Combining breathtaking visual artistry, premium tonewoods, meticulous craftsmanship, and legendary Les Paul performance, the Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select 5A Quilt "Tree of Life" Fireburst stands as an exceptional instrument destined to inspire on stage, in the studio, and in the hands of discerning collectors for years to come.
