Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Figured Purple Widow #CS601639

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Figured Purple Widow is a striking expression of craftsmanship, elegance, and unmistakable Gibson heritage. Built to exacting Custom Shop standards, this one of a kind instrument blends timeless Les Paul Custom appointments with an exclusive Purple Widow aesthetic that commands attention from every angle. Its hand picked AAA figured maple top shimmers beneath the finish with remarkable depth and character, creating a vivid contrast against the rich mahogany body. The solid body features weight relief, offering enhanced comfort without sacrificing the legendary sustain, resonance, and authority that define the Les Paul Custom experience.

The mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable Les Paul Custom Modern Medium C profile, measuring 0.82 inches at the first fret and gradually filling out to 0.965 inches higher up the neck. Paired with a one piece ebony fingerboard, the playing experience is smooth, fast, and effortlessly refined. Mother of pearl block inlays adorn the fingerboard, while black side dots provide subtle visual guidance. Equipped with 22 Jescar Reissue FW45100 frets, a white Corian nut measuring 1.6875 inches, and the classic 24.75 inch scale length, every detail has been selected to deliver exceptional feel, precision, and reliability.

The iconic Les Paul Custom headstock carries all of the appointments expected from Gibson's flagship electric guitar. A traditional Les Paul Custom veneer is crowned by the elegant mother of pearl Split Diamond inlay, while the reverse side proudly displays the gold Gibson Custom Shop decal. Completing the premium aesthetic are the "Les Paul Custom" truss rod cover, the black five ply pickguard, and luxurious multi ply binding, featuring seven ply binding around the top and five ply binding around the back.

This Dealer Select Purple Widow is equipped with a proven Gibson pickup combination that delivers both vintage warmth and commanding modern power. The Gibson 490R neck pickup produces rich cleans, articulate blues tones, and smooth singing leads, while the Gibson 498T bridge pickup adds aggressive bite, enhanced output, and exceptional harmonic response for everything from classic rock to high gain performance. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with a three way pickup selector, provide a wide range of tonal possibilities with intuitive control.

Gold hardware beautifully complements the dramatic finish and premium appointments throughout the instrument. A gold Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide outstanding tuning stability, sustain, and precise intonation, while gold Grover kidney button tuning machines ensure dependable performance whether in the studio or on stage. Black speed knobs complete the classic control layout with a timeless Custom Shop appearance.

Every detail of this Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Figured Purple Widow reflects the artistry and dedication that define Gibson's finest instruments. Included with the guitar are its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its exceptional pedigree and collectability.
