A "50s" Les Paul revisited with an extra vintage soul

The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble follows the recipe that made the Standard 50s famous, adding two strong signatures: open-coil humbuckers with white coils and a glossy nitrocellulose finish in deliberately slightly aged "Vintage" shades. Each burst is unique thanks to hand-sprayed application, enhancing the exclusive and collectible character of this limited edition.

For whom, and for which styles?

This Gibson is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking the feel of a true 1950s Les Paul: a full neck, long sustain, and dynamic pick response. It excels in classic rock, blues, hard rock, and pop, while remaining very musical for more nuanced tones when playing with volume and tone controls. An excellent choice if you want an expressive guitar capable of moving from vintage crunch to singing leads without losing its identity.

The sound

The combination of a solid mahogany body and a AA figured maple top delivers the quintessential Les Paul character: rich mids, excellent note sustain, and a balance between warmth and bite. The Burstbucker 1 at the neck favors round and articulate tones (ideal for blues, jazz-rock, and creamy leads), while the Burstbucker 2 at the bridge provides more drive and definition for riffs and solos. The hand-wired electronics with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors make volume and tone adjustments particularly usable, allowing you to sculpt the tone without losing dynamics.
