Gibson Custom Dealer Select Les Paul Axcess Custom Figured Blue Widow Gloss GH w/case CS600458

Serial: CS600458
Weight: 8 lbs 1.4 oz

This Gibson Custom Dealer Select Les Paul Axcess Custom pairs the elegance of the classic “Black Beauty” platform with the modern playability features that define the Axcess series. Built around the same core design as the standard Les Paul Axcess Custom with Floyd Rose, this example stands apart with a striking Blue Widow finish over a figured maple top, giving the guitar a dramatic visual presence while retaining the modern performance capabilities of the Axcess platform.

The Axcess design incorporates a contoured heel and body carve that significantly improves upper-fret access and overall playing comfort compared to a traditional Les Paul. A carved maple cap sits atop a weight-relieved mahogany body, delivering the familiar Les Paul combination of warmth, sustain, and clarity while keeping the instrument comfortable for long sessions.

A slim mahogany neck with a bound ebony fingerboard provides a fast, articulate feel across all 22 frets. Mother-of-pearl block inlays and multi-ply binding reinforce the traditional Les Paul Custom aesthetic while maintaining the instrument’s high-end Custom Shop appearance.

Equipped with a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system and locking nut, this Axcess model allows for aggressive vibrato techniques and dive bombs while maintaining excellent tuning stability. The 490R and 498T humbucker pairing delivers powerful output with rich midrange and tight low end, while push-pull coil splitting expands the tonal palette with brighter single-coil-style sounds when needed.

Aside from the Blue Widow treatment and upgraded figured maple top, this guitar follows the traditional Les Paul Axcess Custom Floyd Rose specifications, offering the perfect blend of classic Gibson tone and modern performance features.
