Limited run Les Paul power with real vintage attitude
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble takes everything players love about the regular 50s Standard and dials up the vintage vibe. Solid mahogany, AA figured maple, uncovered Burstbuckers, and a slightly faded nitro finish all come together in a guitar that feels like a future classic the second you plug in.
This is not a dressed up studio piece. It is a straight ahead, non weight relieved Les Paul that hits that sweet spot between singing sustain, punchy attack, and rock solid tuning stability, ready for any stage or session you throw at it.
Solid mahogany body, AA maple top, no weight relief
The core of the tone starts with a solid, non weight relieved mahogany body and an AA figured maple top. You get that familiar Les Paul punch, thickness, and bloom, with the maple adding clarity and cut so your notes do not get lost in the mix.
At 8.9 pounds, it feels substantial without being a boat anchor. On a strap it sits right where you want it, and when you hit a big chord you can feel the whole guitar resonate against your ribs as the note hangs on.
Rounded 50s neck and rosewood board that feel broken in
The 50s Vintage profile neck fills your hand in a really satisfying way. It is meatier than a slim taper, but shaped so you can still move up and down the neck without fighting it, whether you are laying down chunky rhythm or wide vibrato bends.
A rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps things smooth and fast. Bends feel buttery, chords stay comfy up the neck, and the acrylic trapezoid inlays give you that classic Les Paul look. The Graph Tech nut keeps tuning stable and intonation true, even if you lean on big bends and heavy picking.
Uncovered Double Classic White Burstbuckers
Under the hood you get a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge, both uncovered with Double Classic White bobbins and loaded with Alnico 2 magnets. They have that open, vintage flavored voice that lets every note breathe, from glassy cleans to thick, singing overdrive.
The bridge pickup has bite and grind for classic and hard rock, while the neck stays warm and buttery without turning to mush. The middle position gives you chewy, three dimensional cleans that record beautifully. Hand wired audio taper pots and Orange Drop capacitors keep the tone clear and expressive, so rolling the controls back actually gives you more colors instead of just dulling everything.
Vintage Cherry Sunburst nitro with subtle fade
The gloss nitrocellulose Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish is a vintage variation on the standard color. It is still full gloss, but the hue is slightly faded compared to a brand new 50s Standard, like a guitar that has seen a few years of honest play and stage lights.
Because each one is individually hand sprayed, the burst pattern has its own character from guitar to guitar. In person, it has that classic Les Paul look with just a touch of lived in attitude, and the thin nitro lets the wood resonate instead of feeling choked under a thick coat.
