Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" Iguana Burst #CS601547

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" in Iguana Burst is an extraordinary showcase of Gibson's finest craftsmanship, created for discerning players and collectors seeking a truly exceptional instrument. As a Dealer Select model, this Les Paul Ultima represents an elevated expression of the legendary design, combining premium tonewoods, breathtaking visual appointments, and meticulous Custom Shop construction into a guitar that is both a remarkable musical instrument and a work of art. The vibrant Iguana Burst finish reveals the dramatic depth of its highly figured two piece quilted maple top, producing an ever changing display of color and dimension beneath the gloss.

The beautifully carved quilted maple top is paired with a chambered solid mahogany body, creating a rich and resonant tonal foundation with exceptional sustain, warmth, and articulation. The chambered construction enhances the guitar's acoustic responsiveness while preserving the unmistakable voice and authority that have defined the Les Paul for generations. Surrounding the body is exquisite multi ply abalone binding, adding flashes of iridescent color that perfectly complement the vivid finish and reinforce the instrument's luxurious presentation.

A beautifully figured flame maple neck offers outstanding stability and a lively tonal character while maintaining exceptional playing comfort. Carved to a Medium C profile measuring .820 inch at the first fret and .965 inch farther up the neck, it provides a substantial yet inviting feel that accommodates everything from expressive rhythm playing to fluid lead work. The ebony fingerboard delivers a smooth, articulate playing surface across the traditional 24.75 inch scale length and 22 medium jumbo frets. Rolled binding over the fret ends creates an exceptionally refined feel, while elegant white and abalone fingerboard binding frames one of the guitar's most spectacular appointments, an intricate Pearl and Abalone Tree of Life inlay that transforms the fingerboard into a stunning display of handcrafted artistry.

A proven set of Gibson 490R and 490T humbuckers provides a versatile voice that balances warmth, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity. The neck pickup produces rich, expressive cleans and singing sustain, while the bridge pickup delivers articulate rhythm tones, harmonic complexity, and powerful lead sounds with unmistakable Gibson character. Premium electronics include a hand wired harness featuring 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers along with a Switchcraft toggle switch, ensuring exceptional reliability while preserving every nuance of the instrument's natural voice.

Classic Gibson hardware includes a Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece for outstanding sustain, dependable intonation, and solid tuning performance. Grover tuning machines with kidney buttons provide smooth, accurate tuning adjustments, while elegant gold hardware creates a striking visual contrast against the Iguana Burst finish. Black speed knobs complete the instrument's timeless appearance with understated vintage character.

Weighing 9 pounds 14 ounces, this Les Paul offers the substantial feel and commanding presence that many players appreciate while benefiting from the enhanced resonance of its chambered construction. It includes its original Gibson Custom hardshell case along with the Certificate of Authenticity, completing a presentation worthy of an instrument built to the highest Custom Shop standards.

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Ultima "Tree of Life" in Iguana Burst is an extraordinary fusion of legendary design, artistic craftsmanship, and inspiring performance.
