Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul - Figured Red Widow #CS600888

The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Red Widow is a masterclass in elegance, power, and timeless Gibson artistry. Cloaked in a striking crimson finish over a hand-picked 2-piece AAA figured maple top, this extraordinary Les Paul Custom captures attention instantly with its deep flame figuring and dramatic visual presence. Every contour, reflection, and detail feels purposeful, giving the Red Widow an unmistakable personality that is both sophisticated and fiercely commanding.

Built on the legendary Les Paul Custom foundation, this instrument combines a weight-relieved solid mahogany body with a carved AAA figured maple top to produce the rich sustain, warmth, and resonance that players have chased for decades. The mahogany neck provides a smooth and familiar feel, while the one-piece ebony fingerboard adds exceptional clarity, snap, and effortless playability. Together, these tonewoods create a voice that is articulate, powerful, and unmistakably Gibson.

Luxury appointments are found throughout every inch of the Red Widow. Mother-of-pearl block inlays illuminate the ebony fingerboard with timeless style, while the iconic split diamond headstock inlay and Les Paul Custom headstock veneer reinforce its unmistakable heritage. Elegant 7-ply top binding and 5-ply back binding frame the instrument beautifully, while gold hardware adds a refined contrast against the rich finish and black accents. From the black 5-ply pickguard to the gold Gibson Custom Shop decal on the rear of the headstock, every detail reflects world-class craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The Les Paul Custom Modern Medium C neck profile strikes the perfect balance between comfort and substance, offering a fast and natural feel that inspires confidence across all 22 Jescar reissue frets. Whether delivering expressive lead work, articulate chord voicings, or aggressive rhythm playing, the neck responds with precision and effortless fluidity.

Loaded with a Gibson 490R neck pickup and 490T bridge pickup, the Red Widow delivers the unmistakable sonic authority that defines a great Les Paul Custom. The neck position offers warm, vocal sustain with remarkable depth and richness, while the bridge pickup provides tight low end, focused mids, and the aggressive bite needed to cut through any mix. Clean passages remain detailed and dynamic, while driven tones explode with harmonic complexity and classic Gibson growl. Independent volume and tone controls alongside the 3-way selector allow for exceptional tonal flexibility, making this guitar equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in a premium collection.

At 9 lbs 11 oz, this Red Widow offers an ideal balance of substantial Les Paul feel and enhanced comfort thanks to its weight-relieved construction. Finished with a gold Tune-O-Matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece, Grover kidney-button tuners, black speed knobs, certificate of authenticity, and hardshell case, the Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom Red Widow is more than an instrument. It is a stunning expression of craftsmanship, performance, and visual artistry designed for players who demand inspiration every time they pick up a guitar.
