Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" Cobra Burst #CS601539

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" in Cobra Burst is an extraordinary celebration of Gibson's most distinguished craftsmanship, created for players and collectors who demand the finest in both artistry and performance. As a Dealer Select instrument, this exceptional Les Paul combines premium tonewoods, breathtaking visual appointments, and meticulous Custom Shop construction to produce a guitar that is every bit as inspiring to admire as it is to play. Finished in the dramatic Cobra Burst, the spectacular two piece quilted maple top reveals remarkable depth, movement, and dimension beneath the gloss, creating a truly unforgettable visual presentation.

The beautifully figured quilted maple top is joined to a chambered solid mahogany body, producing a rich and resonant tonal foundation with outstanding sustain, warmth, and articulation. The chambered construction enhances the guitar's acoustic responsiveness while preserving the unmistakable authority and fullness that have defined the Les Paul for generations. Surrounding the body is elegant multi ply abalone binding that catches the light with brilliant flashes of color, adding another layer of refinement to this already remarkable instrument.

A stunning flame maple neck contributes exceptional stability and clarity while providing a lively tonal response that perfectly complements the mahogany body. Carved to a comfortable Medium C profile measuring .820 inch at the first fret and .965 inch farther up the neck, it offers a substantial yet inviting feel suited for both expressive rhythm playing and fluid lead work. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, articulate playing surface across the traditional 24.75 inch scale length and 22 medium jumbo frets, while rolled binding over the fret ends creates an exceptionally comfortable playing experience. White and abalone fingerboard binding frames the magnificent Pearl and Abalone Tree of Life inlay, transforming the neck into a breathtaking work of functional art that reflects the extraordinary skill of the Gibson Custom Shop.

The guitar is equipped with Gibson's proven 490R neck and 490T bridge humbuckers, delivering a voice that balances warmth, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity. Rich clean tones, harmonically complex overdrive, and singing lead sounds are all available with remarkable articulation and touch responsiveness. Premium electronics featuring a hand wired harness with 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers along with a Switchcraft toggle switch ensure exceptional reliability while preserving the instrument's natural tonal character.

Performance is equally impressive thanks to the classic Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece, which provide excellent sustain, dependable intonation, and rock solid performance. Grover tuning machines with kidney buttons offer smooth and precise tuning adjustments, while luxurious gold hardware creates a striking contrast against the vibrant Cobra Burst finish. Black speed knobs complete the timeless Les Paul aesthetic with understated elegance.

Weighing 10 pounds 4 ounces, this Les Paul delivers the reassuring substance and commanding presence that many players appreciate, complemented by the enhanced resonance provided by its chambered construction. It includes the original Gibson Custom hardshell case along with its Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring both premium protection and documented provenance.

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" in Cobra Burst is a remarkable fusion of iconic design, world class craftsmanship, and artistic expression. From its spectacular quilted maple top and elaborate Tree of Life inlays to its premium electronics and luxurious appointments, every detail has been thoughtfully executed to create an instrument that stands among the most exclusive and visually stunning Les Pauls ever produced by the Gibson Custom Shop.
