Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble, Vintage Bourbon Burst Gloss #211950023

Full Description

Vintage-inspired limited edition design

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is a premium, limited-run model that reimagines the celebrated Les Paul Standard 60s with exclusive cosmetic upgrades. Its standout visual identity comes from uncovered Burstbucker 61 pickups, which are fitted with striking Double Classic White bobbins for a bold, vintage aesthetic. These pickups not only deliver the same revered tone as their covered counterparts but also bring a distinctive custom-shop look straight out of Gibson’s heritage playbook. This version is only available in select finishes, each carefully aged for a subtly worn-in look, making it a dream piece for collectors and stage performers alike. With only 500 units produced per colour, this is a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Gibson craftsmanship.

Expertly aged nitrocellulose finish

Unlike standard production models, the Double Trouble features a full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish that’s been lightly aged to replicate the visual patina of a well-preserved vintage instrument. Each guitar is hand-sprayed by Gibson’s expert artisans, ensuring that no two burst patterns are exactly alike. The finish looks the part and even enhances the tone by allowing the wood to breathe and resonate naturally, helping the guitar open up over time. This subtle, tasteful ageing creates a truly authentic aesthetic reminiscent of the golden era of electric guitars, offering character without relying on artificial wear or extreme relic treatments.

Classic tonewood construction and feel

At the heart of this guitar’s rich tonal palette is a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body paired with a beautifully figured AA maple top. This tried-and-true combination produces the warmth, depth, and sustain that define the Les Paul sound. The neck is carved to Gibson’s legendary SlimTaper profile for a fast yet comfortable feel, and it's topped with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth playability. Binding along the top and fretboard adds a refined visual touch, enhancing both looks and comfort. This is a high-end instrument built with no shortcuts and no compromises.

Premium pickups and electronics

What truly sets the Double Trouble apart sonically is its hand-wired circuitry, crafted in the Gibson Pickup Shop. The Burstbucker 61R and 61T pickups use Alnico 5 magnets and are wired with Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper potentiometers, ensuring a smooth and musical response across the entire tonal range. From articulate cleans to soaring lead tones, these pickups provide a versatile and expressive voice with vintage soul. The uncovered design adds visual character and contributes to the guitar’s open, responsive feel. Every detail is refined for a premium playing experience with unmistakable Gibson tone.
