For something truly inspired, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is a stellar pick of seldom-seen Gibson specs. This limited release from the iconic name comes together with a selection of rarely featured appointments from the Gibson lineage to add up to yet another heavy-hitter of a guitar.

Laying things out simply with some standby Gibson features, the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble starts in a familiar fashion with a solid non-weight-relieved mahogany body. This tangible weight and rich baseline tone are matched with a AA figured maple cap for a crisp and bright flavor right off the bat. For the body's visual presentation, Gibson lets us in with the first of the Double Trouble's roster of tricks.

Establishing itself among the many Gibson finishes of history, the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is fitted with a full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Vintage finish. This finish job, differing from your standard gloss lacquer finishes you might find on other Les Pauls, imparts a lived-in character off the rip. The full-gloss Vintage finish comes already lightly faded to replicate the looks of a Les Paul that's already been treated to years of age without any overt relic or wear treatments. On top of this, each finish for this limited line of Les Pauls differs slightly model to model, resulting in individual guitars that are aesthetically one-of-a-kind.

Moving on, a mahogany neck takes its place in a SlimTaper profile. This notably speedy and slender neck enables fast moves up and down the guitar's full register while a rosewood fingerboard bears twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Acrylic trapezoid inlays appear along the rosewood for a bright and bold visual element. On the Double Trouble, playability is anything but with its slim neck and rich rosewood.

The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble clock in with a pair of refined Gibson humbuckers. In the bridge position, the Double Trouble features a Burstbucker 61T alongside the neck's Burstbucker 61R. Playing with a crisp and robust sound, these pickups are hand-wired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors to enable colorful mixing through their vast amplified spectrum. Observant readers may notice something particularly special about these pickups. The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is fitted with Double Classic White bobbins – a particular rarity for Les Paul bobbin color combinations. Visually and audibly intriguing, these pickups play with all the excitement you've come to expect from Gibson.

Concerning finishing touches on this Double Trouble model, this Gibson comes loaded with a suite of fine hardware specifications. A Graph Tech nut aligns along the headstock with Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with Kidney buttons. Ensuring easy stringing at the headstock, these features are matched with a nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece at the scale's opposite end. This special Les Paul travels with an included hardshell case. Limited to five hundred pieces worldwide, this unique release from one of guitar's premier names has quite a bit to celebrate.

Rolling out with unique Gibson style, the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is a marvel of design. Take up one of these striking guitars and maybe get into a little trouble yourself.
