The Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble electric guitar blends vintage refinement with modern craftsmanship for players who demand exceptional tone and aesthetics. This limited-run model builds on the iconic Les Paul Standard 60s design but introduces unique features, including uncovered Burstbucker 61R and 61T pickups with Double Classic White bobbins and hand-sprayed finishes in subtly faded Vintage Cherry Sunburst and Vintage Tobacco Burst. The solid mahogany body and AA figured maple top deliver warm resonance and striking visual appeal, while the SlimTaper mahogany neck ensures fast, comfortable playability. With its timeless design and exclusive upgrades, this guitar stands out as both a collector's piece and a performance powerhouse.

Uncovered Burstbucker Pickups For Vintage Tone

This model features Burstbucker 61R (neck) and Burstbucker 61T (bridge) pickups with Double Classic White bobbins for a distinct visual and tonal character. Handcrafted in the Gibson Pickup Shop, these humbuckers are equipped with Alnico 5 magnets, delivering rich, vintage-inspired tones with enhanced clarity and bite. Paired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, these pickups provide precise control over volume and tone, allowing players to dial in everything from smooth warmth to aggressive bite. The uncovered design accentuates string response, ensuring every note cuts through with definition and dynamics.

Hand-Sprayed Vintage Nitrocellulose Finishes

Each Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble model is finished with a hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer that replicates the subtle fading seen in decades-old guitars. Available in Vintage Cherry Sunburst and Vintage Tobacco Burst, these finishes feature unique burst patterns that vary slightly from guitar to guitar for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. The nitrocellulose lacquer enhances the guitar's resonance by allowing the wood to breathe while maintaining durability. This vintage-inspired finish ensures the instrument delivers a sophisticated, aged look that appeals to collectors and performers alike.

Premium Construction For Long-Lasting Performance

Built with a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body and AA figured maple top, this guitar offers the sustain and tonal richness Les Pauls are known for. The SlimTaper mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays provide a smooth, fast playing experience across all 22 frets. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, along with Grover Rotomatic tuners, ensure precise tuning stability and intonation, even during extended performances. These premium materials and components make this guitar a reliable choice for studio work or live gigs.

Limited Availability With Collector Appeal

Designed for players and collectors seeking an exclusive model, this instrument offers timeless tone, eye-catching finishes, and handcrafted pickups.
