Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s Double Trouble Electric Guitar – Vintage Honey Burst

Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s Double Trouble Electric Guitar – Vintage Honey Burst

The Double Trouble transforms Gibson’s gorgeous and remarkably vintage-correct Les Paul Standard ’50s series with a marvelous limited-edition makeover. Its namesake appointments are anchored by a pair of uncovered Burstbuckers that reveal that elegant and elusive double-white bobbin look that LP enthusiasts have long hailed as supreme. The other key piece of the Double Trouble puzzle is a uniquely hand-sprayed, full-gloss nitro lacquer Vintage finish to offer a subtly faded and aged look — an exclusive detail that traditional Standard ’50s series instruments don’t offer. Every other element showcases Gibson’s superb Standard ’50s protocol, including a non-relieved mahogany body topped in AA figured maple, a ’50s Vintage neck profile, and classic hardware such as Keystone Vintage Deluxe tuners and an ABR-1 hardtail and Tune-o-matic bridge combo. Entirely handcrafted in the USA, this Les Paul Standard ’50s Double Trouble model is one of only a limited number of models that have been produced in this particular color — and it won’t hang around us for long.

Crafted for classic command

Precisely structured to the late-’50s specifications of its forefathers, the organic build of this Les Paul Standard ’50s Double Trouble both looks and feels like the real deal. Its hefty and non-weight relieved single-cut hourglass body of mahogany hangs over the shoulder with substantial era-appropriate presence, donning a bright and lovely AA figured maple top to complement. Traditionalists will also adore its ’50s Vintage neck shape, which is rounded in profile and topped in smooth playing and well-sustaining rosewood for a truly historic hold. Close your eyes, and you’ll swear it’s the real McCoy!

Uncovered and timelessly voiced

A product of the Gibson Pickup Shop, these hand-assembled Burstbucker 1 neck and Burstbucker 2 bridge pickups give the Standard ’50s Double Trouble its deluxe designation. Uncovered and treated to four white bobbins in total, this 6-string’s voicing already looks incredible — but just wait until you hear it in action! Beneath the surface, its Alnico II magnets, hand wiring, audio taper pots, and Orange Drop caps work to supply that unmistakable early PAF energy on every sonic front, serving up warm and full tones at low volumes that beautifully saturate with increasing intensity. Of course, standard LP switching and per-pickup controls apply, offering players the full slate of tone sculpting you’d expect from such a timeless treasure.

Functionally and fashionably ’50s

The Les Paul Standard ’50s Double Trouble retains old-school appointments across the board, with hardware and fine detailing that’ll transport you back in time every time you pick it up. First of all, its ABR-1 hardtail and Tune-o-matic bridge duet promotes fabulous intonation and sustain with rock-steady vintage accuracy. Matching this heritage-grade functionality and flair are Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with Keystone buttons, promising precise adjustability and performance peace of mind. Aesthetically speaking, the throwback styling of the Standard ’50s Double Trouble is nothing short of exceptional, complete with aged and dial-pointer’d gold top hats, cream white body and fretboard binding, and those lucky nine acrylic trapezoid inlays.
