Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul - Figured Red Widow #CS600492

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Red Widow is a breathtaking expression of luxury, attitude, and unmistakable Gibson craftsmanship. From the moment light hits its hand-selected 2-piece AAA figured maple top, the Red Widow reveals a mesmerizing depth and movement that feels alive beneath its fiery crimson finish. Elegant yet aggressive, refined yet unapologetically bold, this is a Les Paul Custom built to command attention on any stage or in any collection.

At its core, the Red Widow is everything players love about the legendary Les Paul Custom design. A weight-relieved solid mahogany body delivers the rich sustain, warmth, and authority that have defined generations of iconic recordings, while the carved AAA figured maple top adds brilliance, articulation, and stunning visual character. The mahogany neck and one-piece ebony fingerboard create an incredibly smooth and responsive playing experience, balancing warmth with the fast attack and precision ebony is known for.

Visually, every inch of this instrument exudes Custom Shop elegance. Mother-of-pearl block inlays shimmer across the deep black fingerboard, perfectly complementing the iconic split diamond headstock inlay and Les Paul Custom headstock veneer. Multi-ply binding frames the body with timeless sophistication, while gold hardware adds a luxurious contrast against the dark appointments and rich finish. From the black 5-ply pickguard to the gold Gibson Custom Shop decal on the back of the headstock, every detail has been carefully crafted to embody premium Gibson artistry.

The Les Paul Custom Modern Medium C neck profile feels instantly comfortable in the hand, offering the ideal balance between vintage substance and modern playability. Whether navigating expressive bends, fluid lead lines, or powerful rhythm work, the neck responds effortlessly across all 22 Jescar reissue frets with exceptional precision and comfort.

Equipped with a Gibson 490R in the neck and a 490T in the bridge, the Red Widow delivers a voice that is both powerful and versatile. The neck pickup offers smooth warmth, vocal sustain, and rich harmonic detail, while the bridge pickup cuts with focused aggression, midrange punch, and classic Gibson bite. Clean tones bloom with depth and clarity, while overdriven sounds roar with the unmistakable authority only a Les Paul Custom can produce. Independent volume and tone controls paired with a 3-way selector provide a wide tonal range suited for virtually any style or performance setting.

At 10 lbs 9 oz, this instrument carries the substantial feel and resonance serious Les Paul players crave while remaining balanced thanks to its weight-relieved construction. Finished with a gold Tune-O-Matic bridge, Grover kidney-button tuners, black speed knobs, certificate of authenticity, and a premium hardshell case, the Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Red Widow stands as a remarkable fusion of visual drama, sonic power, and world-class craftsmanship. It is more than an instrument. It is a centerpiece built for players and collectors who demand nothing short of extraordinary.
