The Gibson Custom Shop PSL Les Paul Custom Figured Yellow Widow is a bold, radiant embodiment of Gibson’s most iconic design, wrapped in a striking finish and built to Custom Shop perfection. With its unmistakable Yellow Widow burst and refined construction, this rare Les Paul Custom offers everything a player or collector could want—classic looks, elite craftsmanship, and powerful, dynamic tone. It’s a visually arresting instrument that doesn't just stand out on stage—it commands attention.

At its core, the Yellow Widow features a traditional Les Paul single cutaway body, constructed from a 1-piece solid mahogany back, delivering legendary warmth, depth, and sustain. The top is a 2-piece hand-picked AAA figured maple, selected for its exquisite flame pattern and finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while allowing it to resonate freely. The vivid yellow burst is framed by elegant multi-ply binding, creating a regal, vintage-inspired aesthetic with a contemporary edge. A 9-hole weight relief system ensures the guitar remains comfortable on the shoulder while preserving that classic Les Paul tone.

The solid mahogany neck is set into the body with a long tenon joint, increasing the overall sustain and resonance—a hallmark of top-tier Custom Shop construction. Shaped in a Modern Medium C profile (0.82" at the 1st fret and 0.965" at the 12th), the neck feels fast, comfortable, and substantial, appealing to modern players who value a refined but familiar grip. Topping it off is a smooth, jet-black ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and elegant mother-of-pearl block inlays, offering excellent playability and visual contrast against the brilliant finish.

Sonically, the Yellow Widow is armed for versatility and power. A 490R humbucker in the neck position delivers warm, vintage-voiced tones perfect for smooth leads and soulful rhythm work, while the 498T in the bridge offers biting mids and high-output clarity ideal for driving rock solos or aggressive riffing. Both pickups are adorned with gold-plated covers and wired into a hand-wired harness, complete with CTS 500K volume and tone pots, a Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch, and a ¼" output jack for optimal tone transfer and durability. This configuration ensures articulate cleans, expressive dynamics, and rich saturation at every level of gain.

Premium hardware completes the package: a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece in gold provide rock-solid stability and precise intonation, matched by gold-plated Grover Kidney tuners for smooth, accurate tuning. Black speed knobs, a black multi-ply pickguard, black mounting rings, and a black switch washer create a sleek contrast with the finish, while the cream switch tip and brass strap buttons offer subtle, vintage-inspired accents. The 2-ply truss rod cover, engraved with "Les Paul Custom," is a final Custom Shop signature touch.

Each Yellow Widow comes with a Custom Shop hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity booklet, affirming its elite status. Strung with .010–.046 gauge strings, it's ready for performance right out of the case—whether on stage, in the studio, or as the crown jewel of a serious collection.

With its unmatched visual flair, flawless construction, and timeless tone, the Gibson Custom Shop PSL Les Paul Custom Figured Yellow Widow is not just a guitar—it’s a modern classic built for those who demand beauty, power, and prestige in every note.
