Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A "Tree of Life" Nordic Blue #CS601480

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A "Tree of Life" is an extraordinary showcase of Gibson's highest level of craftsmanship, combining breathtaking visual artistry with the legendary voice of a Les Paul. Finished in the captivating Nordic Blue, this exclusive Dealer Select model commands attention with its spectacular handpicked 5A quilted two piece maple top, whose remarkable depth and dimensional figure shimmer beneath the vibrant finish. Designed for discerning collectors and players alike, the Les Paul Ultima represents one of the most luxurious interpretations of Gibson's iconic single cutaway.

The foundation of the instrument begins with a chambered solid mahogany body paired with its exceptional hand selected 5A quilted maple top, creating a harmonious blend of warmth, sustain, resonance, and articulate clarity. Multi ply abalone body binding frames the dramatic figuring with brilliant iridescence, while the chambered construction enhances acoustic liveliness without sacrificing the unmistakable character that has defined the Les Paul for generations.

The beautifully figured flame maple neck is carved to a comfortable Medium C profile measuring approximately .82 inch at the first fret and .965 inch at the twelfth, providing a substantial yet effortless playing experience. An ebony fingerboard with rolled binding over the frets offers a remarkably smooth feel across all 22 medium jumbo frets, while the stunning pearl and abalone Tree of Life inlay transforms the neck into a work of art. The traditional 24.75 inch scale length and 1.687 inch Corian nut provide the familiar feel that Les Paul players have trusted for decades, combining precision with exceptional comfort.

A pair of Gibson 490R and 490T humbuckers delivers the classic tonal versatility that has made the Les Paul a cornerstone of modern music. Warm, expressive neck tones blend seamlessly with articulate bridge pickup clarity, producing everything from smooth jazz and blues to dynamic classic rock and soaring lead work. The hand wired electronics feature premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers along with a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, preserving every nuance of the guitar's natural voice with impressive responsiveness.

Gold plated hardware provides an elegant finishing touch while ensuring dependable performance. A Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece deliver outstanding sustain and rock solid intonation, while Grover tuning machines with kidney buttons offer smooth, precise tuning stability. Black Speed knobs provide a tasteful contrast against the striking Nordic Blue finish, completing an instrument whose visual elegance is matched only by its exceptional craftsmanship.

Weighing an even 10 pounds, this Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A offers the substantial feel and commanding presence expected from a premium Les Paul. Complete with its Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and serial number LPCPSL000000285, this remarkable instrument stands as an exceptional example of Gibson's Custom Shop artistry, blending extraordinary tonewoods, exquisite appointments, and timeless performance into one truly unforgettable guitar.
