Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble, Vintage Cherry Sunburst Gloss #200950083

Full Description

Vintage-inspired design

The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Double Trouble captures the timeless look and feel of a vintage classic. Unlike standard models, this limited edition features uncovered Burstbucker™ pickups with striking Double Classic White bobbins, adding a unique visual flair. The finish is another standout feature, with a Vintage Cherry Sunburst Gloss that has been subtly faded to replicate the natural ageing process of well-loved guitars. Every burst pattern is hand-sprayed, making each instrument truly one of a kind. This attention to vintage detail gives the Double Trouble an unmistakable aesthetic that sets it apart.

Classic Les Paul tone

Equipped with a calibrated set of Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker™ 2 (bridge) pickups, the Les Paul Standard '50s Double Trouble delivers rich, dynamic tones full of character. These pickups retain the warmth and clarity of Alnico 2 magnets, providing smooth, singing lead tones and deep, resonant lows. The uncovered bobbins add a touch of extra brightness and bite, perfect for players who want articulate note definition. From soaring leads to thick rhythm tones, this guitar captures the iconic Les Paul sound with expressive dynamics and vintage charm.

Premium construction and playability

This Les Paul stays true to its roots with a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body topped with a stunning AA figured maple cap. This combination of tonewoods provides incredible sustain and resonance, ensuring every note rings out with clarity and depth. The rounded '50s-style mahogany neck is shaped for effortless playability, while the rosewood fretboard offers a smooth, comfortable feel. With 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays, the Double Trouble is designed for both vintage appeal and modern performance, making it a joy to play for hours on end.

The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece work together to provide rock-solid sustain and effortless string changes. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons offer a classic look while maintaining smooth, accurate tuning. Inside, the guitar is hand-wired with Orange Drop® capacitors and audio taper potentiometers, delivering smooth volume and tone control with an organic, natural response.
