Vintage Appeal with a Modern Edge
The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble was designed to offer everything players love about the 60s Standard while adding even more vintage-inspired style. Its full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Vintage Honey Burst is subtly faded to evoke the look of a well-preserved original from decades past. Each burst pattern is hand-sprayed, meaning no two guitars are exactly alike.
This unique finish treatment, combined with the Double Classic White bobbins on the pickups, gives the guitar an elegant and authentic vintage vibe. While its core remains faithful to the 60s Les Paul Standard, these small but striking details make the Double Trouble edition stand apart as a true limited-run collectible.
Classic Les Paul Construction
Like the legendary instruments of Gibson’s Golden Era, this model features a non-weight-relieved solid mahogany body topped with AA figured maple. This tried-and-true wood combination provides the signature warmth, sustain, and resonance that define the Les Paul sound. Cream binding along the body and fretboard enhances its traditional aesthetic.
The SlimTaper mahogany neck is paired with a rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, delivering a fast, comfortable playing feel that’s equally suited to expressive solos and rich chord work. Classic trapezoid inlays complete the look, adding the unmistakable Gibson touch.
Uncovered Burstbucker 61 Pickups
At the heart of the Double Trouble are its uncovered Burstbucker 61R (neck) and 61T (bridge) pickups. Built with Alnico 5 magnets and the same specs as their covered counterparts, they deliver the familiar clarity, bite, and sustain of vintage PAF-inspired humbuckers. The uncovered design with Double Classic White bobbins not only looks striking but also adds a raw, open tonal character.
Hand-wired audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth, dynamic control over your sound, making it easy to move from sparkling cleans to thick, saturated overdrive. These electronics preserve every nuance, ensuring authentic Les Paul tone with modern reliability.
Reliable Hardware and Playability
The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble comes equipped with a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, delivering excellent sustain and resonance. Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons ensure tuning stability, while nickel hardware adds a polished, vintage-correct finish.
Gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and dial pointers not only enhance usability but also contribute to the timeless Gibson look. Every component has been carefully chosen to uphold the Les Paul tradition while making this limited edition model a joy to play on stage, in the studio, or at home.
Limited Edition Collectibility
Production of the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is limited to just 500 units per finish worldwide, making it a rare and sought-after piece. Each guitar is supplied with a Gibson hardshell case, ensuring safe transport and long-term protection.
With its unique combination of classic construction, uncovered pickups, and vintage-inspired finishes, the Double Trouble is more than a guitar — it’s a celebration of Gibson’s timeless craftsmanship and legacy, designed for players who want both heritage and individuality.
