The Gibson Custom Shop PSL Les Paul Custom Figured Green Widow is a striking statement of both visual elegance and sonic power—crafted with the highest level of precision and detail that only the Gibson Custom Shop can deliver. This limited-edition masterpiece seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern enhancements, resulting in a Les Paul that’s as beautiful to behold as it is inspiring to play.

At the heart of the Green Widow is a 2-piece hand-picked AAA figured maple top, beautifully finished in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that brings out the mesmerizing depth and character of the wood. The bold Green Widow finish is offset by classic multi-ply binding, giving the instrument a regal appearance that evokes the best of Gibson’s storied heritage. The back is carved from a single solid piece of mahogany, contributing to the guitar’s warm tonal foundation, while the 9-hole weight relief system ensures optimal comfort without sacrificing sustain.

The solid mahogany neck features a long tenon joint, offering exceptional resonance and stability. Shaped in a Modern Medium C profile (measuring 0.82" at the 1st fret and 0.965" at the 12th), it provides a smooth, contemporary feel that suits a wide range of playing styles. The ebony fingerboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets across a 12" radius, delivering a slick, responsive playing experience. With a 24.75" scale length and Corian nut measuring 1.69" wide, it feels instantly familiar under the fingers, offering effortless bends and articulate note definition.

Sonically, the Green Widow is a powerhouse. It comes equipped with a time-tested combination of a 490R neck pickup and a 490T bridge pickup—both with gold-plated covers—delivering a versatile palette of tones ranging from smooth, vintage warmth to aggressive, modern bite. The electronics are top-tier, with a hand-wired harness, Switchcraft 3-way toggle, and CTS 500K volume and tone pots, ensuring clarity, punch, and dynamic response at every setting.

Every detail on this Custom Shop model speaks of premium craftsmanship. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece, both finished in gold, anchor the guitar solidly while enhancing its luxurious aesthetic. Complementing these are Grover kidney tuners, brass strap buttons, black speed knobs, and a black multi-ply pickguard, all contributing to the unmistakable Les Paul Custom look. The guitar also includes a 2-ply truss rod cover engraved with "Les Paul Custom", a cream switch tip, and black switchwasher—small touches that complete the elite presentation.

Delivered in a Custom Shop hardshell case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity booklet, the Gibson Custom Shop PSL Les Paul Custom Figured Green Widow is more than just a guitar—it’s an heirloom-grade instrument built for those who demand exceptional tone, flawless build quality, and breathtaking aesthetics. Whether you're a collector, a seasoned player, or both, the Green Widow stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Les Paul and the artistry of the Gibson Custom Shop.
