Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

The Les Paul Custom Scorpion builds on the popularity of “Widow” and “Centipede” models Gibson Custom has released while taking the concept to the next level entirely. For the first time, transparent stain in bold alternating stripes has been applied to the figured maple tops, paired perfectly with pearl, split-block inlays and multi-ply binding. The powerful 490R/498T humbuckers retain the voice that makes the Les Paul Custom a studio and stage legend, while the medium C-shape Long-tenon neck plays effortlessly. The result is a Les Paul Custom that is unique and edgy in both sound and look! Limited to just 25 of each color worldwide.
