Vintage Style with a Unique Twist
The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble enhances the beloved 50s Standard with details that set it apart. Finished in a hand-sprayed Vintage Honey Burst Gloss, each guitar has a subtly faded nitrocellulose lacquer that captures the look of a well-preserved vintage instrument. No two burst patterns are exactly alike, ensuring every model is truly unique.
Uncovered Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups with Double Classic White bobbins add to the guitar’s striking appearance while nodding to Gibson’s heritage. Together, the finish and pickups deliver an unmistakably vintage aesthetic with a modern edge.
Classic 50s Les Paul Construction
Built with a non-weight-relieved solid mahogany body and an AA figured maple top, this guitar captures the tonal depth and sustain that define the Les Paul sound. Cream binding across the top and fretboard adds a touch of elegance, while the Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer ensures long-lasting resonance and an authentic vintage feel.
The rounded 50s Vintage mahogany neck pairs with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, offering a smooth, comfortable feel for both rhythm and lead playing. Acrylic trapezoid inlays bring the timeless Gibson look to life.
Uncovered Burstbucker Pickups
The Double Trouble edition is powered by a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge, both fitted with Double Classic White bobbins and Alnico 2 magnets. These uncovered pickups provide articulate highs, warm mids, and dynamic lows, faithfully recreating the PAF-inspired tones players expect.
Hand-wired audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors give smooth, responsive control over tone and volume. From singing cleans to roaring overdrive, the electronics deliver everything a Les Paul should.
Reliable Hardware and Playability
Hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, ensuring stability, sustain, and tuning accuracy. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons add classic looks and reliable performance. Nickel hardware complements the finish perfectly, completing the vintage vibe.
Gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers provide precision control, while the cream pickguard and binding tie the aesthetic together. Every component has been chosen to balance tradition with durability, making this guitar road-ready while staying true to Gibson heritage.
Limited Edition Collectibility
With production limited to only 500 units per finish worldwide, the Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is a rare opportunity for players and collectors alike. Each guitar comes with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, ensuring it remains safe and secure for years to come.
The Vintage Honey Burst Gloss finish, paired with Double Classic White bobbin pickups and classic 50s construction, makes this model a standout addition to the Les Paul legacy — a guitar that celebrates the past while inspiring the future.
