Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A "Tree of Life" Transparent Geode #CS601749

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A "Tree of Life" in Transparent Geode is a breathtaking showcase of Gibson Custom Shop artistry, blending masterful craftsmanship with premium tonewoods and exquisite appointments. Built as a limited Dealer Select model, this remarkable Les Paul features a stunning 5A two piece quilted maple top finished in Transparent Geode, revealing exceptional figure and depth over a chambered solid mahogany body. The result is an instrument that delivers the legendary sustain and resonance of a Les Paul while offering enhanced acoustic liveliness and extraordinary visual appeal.

The highly figured flame maple neck is carved to a comfortable Medium C profile, measuring approximately .820 inches at the first fret and .965 inches at the twelfth fret. A bound ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, a 24.75 inch scale length, and a 1.687 inch Corian nut provide a familiar and effortless playing experience. Flowing the entire length of the fingerboard is Gibson's elegant Tree of Life inlay, crafted from genuine pearl and abalone, while white and abalone binding with rolled fretboard edges adds both beauty and exceptional playing comfort.

Powering this Custom Shop masterpiece is a Gibson 490R neck pickup paired with a 490T bridge pickup, offering warm, articulate cleans, rich midrange character, and smooth overdriven tones with impressive sustain. The electronics feature a hand wired harness with two 500K CTS volume pots, two 500K CTS tone pots, and a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, delivering reliable performance and outstanding tonal clarity.

Gold plated hardware completes the guitar's luxurious appearance, including a Tune O Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, Grover tuners with kidney buttons, and black speed knobs. Multi ply abalone body binding and matching white and abalone fingerboard binding elevate the instrument's presentation, making it every bit as striking visually as it is sonically.

Weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces, this Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima 5A includes its original Gibson Custom hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and bears serial number LPCPSL000000286. Combining exceptional tone, uncompromising craftsmanship, and one of the most distinctive aesthetic packages ever offered on a Les Paul, this is a truly extraordinary instrument for collectors and players seeking the very best from the Gibson Custom Shop.
