Description
This is the kind of guitar that grabs your attention before you've even plugged it in. The Les Paul Axcess Custom in Green Widow is equal parts showstopper and sonic powerhouse; built for players who crave the iconic Les Paul feel with modern versatility and a little bit of attitude. Whether you're a gigging pro, studio wizard, or an inspired collector, this guitar bridges tradition and innovation in a way few can.
Born from the forward-thinking spirit of the Axcess line, this model reimagines the Les Paul Custom with sleek enhancements for the modern player. The sculpted heel and Apex neck profile speak directly to shredders and technical players who love the Les Paul sound but demand more freedom up top. The Green Widow finish, draped over a stunning AAA figured maple top, brings a bold visual twist to a time-honored silhouette.
Crafted with a weight-relieved mahogany body and bound in elegant 7-ply white trim, this Les Paul sings with clarity and bite while maintaining the warmth and sustain the model is known for. The 490R and 498T humbuckers are wired for push-pull coil splitting, giving you a wealth of tonal options; go from thick, creamy lead tones to chimey single-coil snap with a quick flick. These pickups are voiced to cut through a mix and handle anything from vintage crunch to modern gain stages.
The playability is all Gibson Custom Shop. Its Apex neck carve feels familiar yet refined, with smooth access all the way to the 22nd fret thanks to the contoured heel. The ebony fingerboard adds snap and precision to your attack, while the Jescar Medium Jumbo frets offer effortless bends and clean articulation. Grover tuners and a historic-spec ABR-1 bridge deliver solid tuning stability and spot-on intonation, even under aggressive playing conditions.
Visually, the Green Widow finish is in a class of its own. Its venomous, high-gloss burst over the highly figured maple top is as striking as it is unique. Mother-of-pearl block inlays, nickel hardware, and black speed knobs round out a design that feels premium, dangerous, and refined all at once.
At Cream City Music, we're drawn to instruments that challenge the norm while honoring the past; this Les Paul Axcess Custom does exactly that. It's the kind of guitar that makes you want to pick it up again and again; a true performer's piece with Custom Shop soul and just enough bite to make it unforgettable.
