Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" Iguana Burst #CS601497

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" is an extraordinary expression of Gibson's finest craftsmanship, combining breathtaking aesthetics with the unmistakable voice of a classic Les Paul. Finished in the captivating Iguana Burst, this highly exclusive Dealer Select model showcases an exceptional level of artistry, where every detail has been thoughtfully executed to create an instrument as visually stunning as it is sonically inspiring. Built for discerning players and collectors alike, it represents the pinnacle of Gibson Custom Shop design and execution.

At the heart of the guitar is a spectacular two piece quilted maple top whose vivid figure comes alive beneath the luminous Iguana Burst finish. The solid mahogany chambered body provides impressive resonance while maintaining the authoritative sustain and rich tonal character synonymous with the Les Paul. Multi-ply abalone binding surrounds the body with remarkable elegance, framing the figured maple top in brilliant iridescence and emphasizing the guitar's luxurious appointments.

The 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, offering a substantial yet effortless playing experience. An ebony fingerboard with rolled binding over the frets provides a smooth, refined feel beneath the fingertips, while 22 medium jumbo frets ensure exceptional playability across the entire 24.75 inch scale. The striking pearl and abalone Tree of Life inlay transforms the fingerboard into a true work of art, making this instrument instantly recognizable as one of Gibson Custom Shop's most ornate and collectible creations. A Corian nut and 1.687 inch nut width complete the guitar's comfortable and familiar playing feel.

A matched pair of Gibson 490R and 490T humbuckers delivers the warm, articulate voice that has made the Les Paul an enduring standard across countless musical genres. Rich cleans, singing sustain, and harmonically complex overdrive are all readily available, while the hand wired electronics feature premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers along with a Switchcraft three way toggle switch to preserve every nuance of the guitar's dynamic response.

Premium hardware complements the instrument's luxurious appearance. A gold plated Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide outstanding sustain and tuning stability, while Grover tuning machines with kidney buttons ensure smooth, precise operation. Black Speed knobs complete the classic control layout, creating a tasteful contrast against the vibrant finish and elaborate appointments.

Weighing 10 pounds 4 ounces, this Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima offers the substantial feel and commanding presence many players associate with a premium Les Paul. Complete with its Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and serial number LPCPSL000000287, this remarkable instrument stands as a rare showcase of Gibson's Custom Shop artistry, blending world class tone, flawless craftsmanship, and breathtaking visual beauty into one unforgettable guitar.
