You are looking at a 2026 Gibson Les Paul Custom Red Widow — a guitar so dangerously good-looking it feels like it should come with a warning label. The Transparent Red Widow gloss nitro doesn’t just glow — it commands attention. And unlike most Widow finishes, this one skips the dark edge burst entirely. No shading. No hiding. Just a full, unapologetic 3A flamed maple top blazing across the entire carved surface like it has something to prove.

The red binding wraps everything in dramatic excess, the bound ebony board and mother-of-pearl blocks seal the Custom Shop deal, and the red pearloid split-diamond reminds you this isn’t standard-issue anything.

At 8.6 lbs with a chambered mahogany body, it’s substantial without punishing your shoulder. The medium rounded neck (.844” at the 1st, .952” at the 12th) feels fast, comfortable, and confident. The 490R and 496T pickups deliver warm cleans and aggressive punch — classic Les Paul Custom authority, just dressed in red. She’s 100% original and ready to rock your world!
