Want to own the most impressive Les Paul on the block? Grab this Gibson Custom Les Paul Ultima and you will. Decked out in a gorgeous two-piece quilted maple top, eye-catching Tree of Life fingerboard inlay, and stunning gold hardware, this guitar is impossible to ignore. It feels wonderful, thanks to its substantial Medium C-shaped neck and slick ebony fingerboard, and its '57 Classic humbuckers exhibit a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities. Built from top-shelf parts, the Les Paul Ultima includes CTS control pots, a Switchcraft toggle switch, and handwired harness.




The allure of quilted maple
The Les Paul has been a mainstay in the company's lineup due to its bold appointments and understated solid-color finish. But this Les Paul Ultima adds a distinctive two-piece quilted maple top, ensuring that the guitar looks every bit the top-tier musical instrument that it is. The quilted maple caps a familiar mahogany back for the unmistakable cut, warmth, and sustain all Les Pauls are known for. And the mahogany neck is topped with a smooth-feeling ebony fingerboard.




Sonic versatility from '57 Classic humbuckers
Thanks to dual '57 Classic humbucking pickups, each with its own volume and tone controls, you can coax an impressive range of tones from the Les Paul Ultima. These pickups are versatile enough for country, rock, blues, and even jazz. They're made to the exact same specs as Gibson's original PAF pickups, with Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring.




A classic rock guitar
For generations, guitar players have gravitated toward the Les Paul. Rock icons such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Slash, and many others heavily utilized the Les Paul. From warm, fat blues tones to scorching rock riffs and solos, the Les Paul has done it all. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and pick up a classic — the Gibson Custom Les Paul Ultima.
