Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Oxblood Heavy Aged w/case CS402485

Serial: CS402485
Weight: 9 lbs 15 oz

The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in Oxblood Heavy Aged is where Gibson’s Modern Collection meets true Murphy Lab character—combining the luxurious feel of a Les Paul Custom with player-focused modern features and the unmistakable look of a well-worn vintage instrument. Finished in rich Oxblood with Murphy Lab Heavy Aging, this Custom Select build delivers the visual depth and broken-in feel of a guitar that has spent decades on stage, with exposed mahogany wear areas, aged nickel hardware, and the unmistakable authority of Gibson’s flagship solidbody platform.

Built with a 2-piece plain maple top over a mahogany body with 9-hole weight relief, this Les Paul Custom offers the sustain, harmonic richness, and piano-like low end players expect, while keeping the overall balance more comfortable for extended sessions. Gibson specifically highlights the Modern Medium C neck profile, Heavy Aged nickel hardware, ebony fingerboard, and the 490R/498T pickup pairing as defining features of this Custom Select model. The bound ebony fingerboard adds articulation and snap, while the split diamond headstock inlay, multi-ply binding, and mother-of-pearl block inlays reinforce the unmistakable top-tier Custom aesthetic.

At 9 lbs 15 oz, this example carries the substantial feel many players want from a Les Paul Custom—strong note fundamentals, exceptional sustain, and the kind of authority that makes every note feel bigger.
