In a brilliant show of style, we're treated to the rich tones and vintage styles of the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble. This limited release from Gibson showcases some rarely-seen elements of the Gibson canon for an inspired model all over. If you're dying for a Gibson with some seldom-seen features, check this out.

This Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble starts out with some classic features and functions from the brand. Starting out, this Les Paul features a classic single-cutaway body that takes its shape from solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany, joins a AA figured maple cap for a balance of tonal richness and brightness from the get-go. This body is treated to the first of the Double Trouble's tricks – a full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

Separating itself from traditional Les Paul Standard with their standard gloss finish, the full-gloss finish imparts a more lived-in quality right out of the case with an overall faded impression. The full gloss nitrocellulose finish does wonders in subtly shifting the essence of this Les Paul Standard towards and inherently vintage aesthetic while each model's burst pattern is different for a one-of-a-kind look model to model.

Moving on, a mahogany neck takes shape with a 50s Vintage profile. This comfortable grip in hand pairs with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets for a smooth and seamless feel across the palm and on the fingers. Acrylic trapezoid inlays adorn the rosewood for that classic visual addition. Effortlessly playable across its entire scale, this Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is no trouble at all when it comes to maneuvering and exploring its musical scope.

Audibly, this Double Trouble comes to life with the addition of two Gibson Burstbucker pickups – a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge. These refined humbuckers play with marvelous warmth, clarity, and grit for pushing your nicest tube amp to the edge, should that be your prerogative. Sharp-eyed observers might catch something special about these pickups. These Burstbuckers are fitted with Double Classic White bobbins, a particular rarity when it comes to Gibson pickup bobbin color combinations. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper potentiometers, an authentic Gibson humbucking experience is ready to go at a moment's notice.

Assembling with some finishing touches, this Gibson Double Trouble is equipped with a Graph Tech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuning machines for easy stringing. A nickel-played ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece lands at the scale's opposite end to match. Traveling with an included Gibson hardshell case, this guitar is road ready. This Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is limited to five hundred pieces worldwide.

Wrapped in unique Gibson style, this Les Paul Standard doubles up with Gibson spirit for a truly unique piece.
