Description
The Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Figured in Orange Widow Burst is more than just a showpiece; it's a modern classic that captures the imagination of players and collectors alike. If you've spent any time in guitar circles online, you've likely seen the buzz. This is the Widow Burst that stops the scroll. While Epiphone's version brought the aesthetic to a wider audience, the Custom Shop build is the one that we're excited for; the one that lives up to the legend with every detail dialed in.
Created for players who crave both visual drama and sonic excellence, this Les Paul Custom is a masterclass in Gibson craftsmanship. The figured top is wrapped in a bold Orange Widow Burst finish, giving the guitar an unmistakable identity that practically glows under stage lights. It's built from premium tonewoods and designed for tonal authority, delivering the weighty, punchy mids and endless sustain that define the Les Paul voice. Whether you're pushing the front end of a British amp or chasing lush cleans in the studio, this one covers the ground with style and power.
Playability is exactly what you'd expect from a Custom Shop build; the neck has a classic, comfortable carve that feels immediately familiar, while the fretwork is impeccable. It stays in tune, and it feels solid and inspiring no matter how hard you dig in. No matter your aesthetic tastes, it's a right-at-home kind of feeling.
The Orange Widow Burst finish is what sets this model apart visually, with a haunting fade and rich top carve that practically tells its own story. If you're into the darker and heavier aesthetics, the Gibson Custom Shop had you in mind with these Widow finishes. Paired with that unmistakeable finish matched multi-ply binding and LP Custom appointments, it's the kind of guitar that feels as good on a gallery wall as it does slung low on stage.
At Cream City Music, we see a lot of guitars, but few ignite this kind of instant reaction. The Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Figured in Orange Widow Burst is the real deal; a stunning, professional-grade instrument that lives up to its hype and then some.
