Product Description
Harking back to the golden era of electric guitars and perhaps one of the rarest and most sought-after models, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble pays tribute to the elusive double white-bobbin PAF equipped late ‘50s Burst.
Featuring a solid Mahogany body and neck adorned with a stunning AA figured Maple top, Rosewood fingerboard, Vintage Deluxe tuners and a comfortable ‘50s Vintage neck profile, the Les Paul Standard ‘50s offers an addictive playing experience and tone that leaves you wanting more. Under the hood, a duo of musical-sounding uncovered double white PAF-inspired Alnico II Burstbucker humbuckers provide dynamic, articulate and rich, classic electric guitar tones that suit a wide range of playing styles and genres.
Key features
- Extremely Limited - The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble in Vintage Tabacco Burst is limited to only 500 worldwide, with its exposed white bobbin pickups and vintage finish this Les Paul won't be here long!
- White Bobbin - Rarer than hen’s teeth, double white bobbin PAF pickups are regarded by vintage Gibson enthusiasts as one of the most desirable unicorns out there. For the first time, Gibson has replicated this eye-catching aesthetic in a core-range model, capturing even more vibe and mojo from the golden era of electric guitar.
- Vintage Finishes - Fully finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the limited edition double trouble models feature an elegantly faded vintage finish to truly capture the look of these classic Les Pauls.
Body & Neck
The guitar is made with the winning formula that the Les Paul is known for. The solid Mahogany body is topped with Figured Maple. This classic combo gives you an undeniably beautiful aesthetic, not to mention jaw-dropping sustain, weighty lows and a timeless top-end sparkle.
In keeping with tradition, the neck is also Mahogany, in this case using a rounded ‘50s-style profile. Combined with a Rosewood fingerboard and Trapezoid inlays, it feels, looks and sounds every bit as classic as you’d expect.
Hardware & Electronics
Gibson have loaded the ‘50s Standard with Burstbuckers featuring Alnico II magnets. These magnets are known for their PAF-style sound; combined with the Mahogany & Maple duo and handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors, the Burstbuckers deliver that singing Les Paul tone that’s inspired guitarists for generations.
The hardware has been carefully selected to echo the classic Les Paul blueprint. Vintage Deluxe tuners & Gold Top Hat knobs are among the notable features, with Nickel plating and luxurious binding perfectly tells the story of an iconic instrument.
