Gibson USA Les Paul Standard 60S Double Trouble Vintage Bourbon Burst

The Essentials to Know About the Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble Guitar

• Limited edition with a subtly aged look: "Vintage" finishes in glossy nitrocellulose lacquer, with hand-sprayed bursts for a unique appearance.


• Two uncovered Burstbucker 61 humbuckers (Double Classic White) with Alnico 5 magnets: crisp attack, vintage tone, and great dynamic response.


• Authentic Les Paul 60s craftsmanship: solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body + AA figured maple top for rich sustain and strong projection.


• 60s-style comfort: mahogany SlimTaper neck and 22 medium jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard for fast and precise playing.

A 60s Les Paul with vintage charm, in an ultra-limited edition

The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble captures the sonic DNA and feel of the classic Standard 60s models, adding a more "lived-in" aesthetic and details reminiscent of collectible instruments. Its uncovered white coil pickups and lightly aged Vintage finishes give it a true personality while staying faithful to Gibson tradition: mahogany and maple construction, proven hardware, and hand-wired electronics. A particularly appealing option for those seeking a retro-look Les Paul without sacrificing modern performance.

For which guitarist, and in which styles?

This Les Paul is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an expressive electric guitar with responsive touch. The SlimTaper neck profile favors fast runs, tight chord playing, and clean bends. In terms of styles, it excels in rock, blues, hard rock, and powerful pop, with a sustain reserve ideal for singing solos and thick rhythms, while retaining enough definition for clearer, more articulated tones.

The sound

The combination of a solid mahogany body and a AA figured maple top delivers the classic Les Paul cocktail: generous low-mids, long sustain, and a snappier attack thanks to the maple. The Burstbucker 61R (neck) and 61T (bridge) pickups, here uncovered with Alnico 5 magnets, provide a more direct response and excellent definition: at the neck, a full and singing tone perfect for blues and rounded leads; at the bridge, more bite and precision for riffs and solos that cut through the mix. The hand-wired setup with 2 volumes, 2 tones and Orange Drop capacitors allows for effective tonal shaping, from bright cleans to vintage crunch, up to thick overdrive.
