The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom 5A Quilt "Tree Of Life" in Cobra Burst is an extraordinary expression of Gibson Custom Shop craftsmanship, combining luxurious appointments with breathtaking tonewoods. This exclusive Dealer Select model features a handpicked 2-piece 5A quilt maple top finished in a stunning Cobra Burst, showcasing dramatic figuring that shifts beautifully under its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Elegant multi-ply binding and gold hardware complete the unmistakable look of one of Gibson's most prestigious solid body designs.
Built with a solid 1-piece mahogany body and no weight relief, this Les Paul Custom delivers exceptional sustain, warmth, and resonance with the substantial feel players expect from a traditionally constructed Custom Shop instrument. Weighing 9 lbs 12 oz, it offers the authoritative presence of a classic Les Paul while remaining well balanced and comfortable in hand. The solid mahogany neck is joined with a long tenon for enhanced tonal transfer and features Gibson's Modern Medium C profile, measuring .818 inch at the first fret and .963 inch at the twelfth fret. Paired with an ebony fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and genuine mother of pearl block inlays, it offers a smooth and effortless playing experience across the entire 24.75 inch scale.
The electronics feature a Gibson 490R neck humbucker and a 498T bridge humbucker, delivering everything from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive lead tones with outstanding clarity and punch. A hand wired harness with premium 500K CTS volume and tone potentiometers, a Switchcraft three way toggle switch, and a 1/4 inch output jack ensure dependable performance and exceptional tonal response.
Premium hardware includes a gold ABR-1 Tune O Matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece, gold plated pickup covers, and gold Grover Kidney tuning machines for outstanding tuning stability and sustain. Black Speed Knobs, black mounting rings, a black multi-ply pickguard, cream switch tip, black switch washer, brass strap buttons, and an engraved two ply Les Paul Custom truss rod cover complete the instrument's timeless Custom aesthetic.
This Dealer Select model includes its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and comes strung with .010 to .046 gauge strings.
