There are Les Paul Customs that look classy.
There are Les Paul Customs that look expensive.
And then there’s this thing, which looks like Gibson set a Les Paul Custom on fire, put it out just before things got expensive, added gold jewelry and said, “Perfect. Ship it.” 😂
This is a 2026 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Figured finished in absolutely outrageous Orange Widow Burst Gloss. The hand-picked figured maple top has enough flame to require adult supervision, while the deep black-to-orange burst, matching orange-tinted multi-ply binding, orange headstock appointments and gold hardware turn subtlety into a distant memory.
And Gibson didn’t quit when they reached the back. The Orange Widow treatment continues across the mahogany back and neck, so even the parts normally facing your shirt look better than most guitars from the front.
At 9.8 lbs, it’s also refreshingly reasonable for a full-dress Les Paul Custom. Nobody ordered the salad, but at least Gibson skipped dessert.

Condition & What’s Included
She was born on February 23rd, 2026 and is in mint condition and completely original, with no modifications or issues to report. It includes the original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, Pre-Pack Checklist and original case candy shown in the photos.
If your idea of the perfect Les Paul Custom is black, understated and quietly elegant, Gibson makes plenty of those.
This one apparently missed that meeting.
The Orange Widow walked into the Custom Shop wearing gold jewelry, kicked subtlety down a flight of stairs and demanded the most ridiculous piece of figured maple they could find.
Whoever brings this baby home is going to be STOKED!!
