The Ultima marries the craftsmanship of the Custom Division with the structural features of the Les Paul. A highly figured maple top and abalone binding are but two of the many features of this incredible instrument.
The selection of hand inlaid fingerboards are among the most beautiful created by Gibson, including the Tree of Life, the Harp, and Flames. Set off by the original Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, this line of guitars is the Ultimate.

More Information
- This is all I have on the Ultima. Other than the wild fretboard inlays, it is pretty much a chambered reissue.
I think some of the early ones had a slightly different chambers but I can't find my exact photos of them.
