Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" Fireburst #CS601450

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree of Life" in Fireburst is an extraordinary expression of the Custom Shop's dedication to artistry, craftsmanship, and uncompromising tone. Built as an exclusive Dealer Select instrument, this exceptional Les Paul Custom elevates one of Gibson's most iconic designs with breathtaking appointments and meticulous hand-selected tonewoods. Its visually stunning handpicked two piece 5A quilt maple top is finished in a radiant Fireburst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that accentuates every contour and the remarkable depth of the figured maple. Paired with a one piece mahogany body and elegant multi ply binding, the result is a guitar that is as captivating to admire as it is inspiring to play.

Built without weight relief, the solid mahogany body delivers the unmistakable sustain, resonance, and authoritative voice that have defined the Les Paul Custom for generations. Weighing 9 pounds 7 ounces, the instrument offers the substantial feel that many players associate with vintage examples, producing rich harmonic complexity, exceptional note bloom, and powerful low end response. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the tonewoods to resonate naturally while developing additional character as the instrument ages.

The solid mahogany neck is joined to the body with a traditional long tenon construction, maximizing sustain and creating a seamless connection between neck and body. Carved to a comfortable Modern Medium C profile measuring .818 inch at the first fret and .963 inch at the twelfth fret, the neck offers an ideal balance of speed and substance for a wide range of playing styles. The ebony fingerboard features a classic 12 inch radius with twenty two medium jumbo frets that provide effortless bends and precise articulation across the entire register. Mother of pearl block inlays add timeless elegance, while the Corian nut and 24.75 inch scale length contribute to the familiar feel and expressive response that have made the Les Paul a legendary instrument.

The electronics deliver the unmistakable voice of a classic Les Paul Custom. A Gibson 490R humbucker in the neck position produces warm, articulate cleans with exceptional depth and smooth sustain, while the 498T bridge humbucker delivers powerful output, focused midrange, and the aggressive bite needed for everything from classic rock to modern high gain performance. Hand wired electronics featuring premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers, a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, and quality components throughout ensure outstanding clarity, responsiveness, and long term reliability. Every adjustment feels precise, allowing players to shape everything from rich vintage warmth to articulate cutting lead tones with ease.

Gold hardware perfectly complements the vibrant Fireburst finish, creating a luxurious appearance worthy of the Les Paul Custom name. An ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide exceptional sustain, accurate intonation, and dependable tuning stability, while Grover Kidney tuning machines offer smooth and reliable performance. Black multi ply appointments, gold plated pickup covers, brass strap buttons, black speed knobs, and the engraved two ply Les Paul Custom truss rod cover complete the instrument's sophisticated visual presentation.

Included with the guitar is a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity booklet, underscoring its status as a premium Custom Shop creation. Combining breathtaking aesthetics, uncompromising craftsmanship, and the unmistakable voice of a non weight relieved Les Paul Custom, the Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree of Life" in Fireburst is an exceptional instrument built for discerning players and collectors who demand the very finest in tone, performance, and timeless elegance.
