Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble Vintage Tobacco Burst

A classic 60s-style Les Paul Standard, now with an even more vintage look!

The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble offers all the features and performance of the regular Les Paul Standard 60s models, but with an even more vintage look. These limited-run models differ from the standard versions in two ways. First, the Burstbucker 61R and Burstbucker 61T humbuckers are not covered and are equipped with Double Classic White bobbins and the usual Alnico 5 magnets. The second difference is the finish.

The colors are vintage variations of the standard nitrocellulose lacquer. While the regular high-gloss nitrocellulose finishes are intended to reflect the look of brand-new 1960s models, the high-gloss vintage finishes on the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble are subtly faded, similar to light natural aging over several years. The burst patterns vary from guitar to guitar, as each body is spray-painted by hand.

All the beloved features of the Les Paul Standard 60s are also present. Think solid, weight-relieved mahogany body with an AA figured maple top, and a SlimTaper-profile mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and trapezoid inlays. The Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble features a classic-style ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and dial pointers.

The open Burstbucker 61R (neck) and Burstbucker 61T (bridge) are internally identical to the standard versions, with the exception of the Double Classic White bobbins. They are hand-built in the Gibson Pickup Shop, feature Alnico 5 magnets, and are hand-wired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. The Double Classic White bobbins and vintage finishes give the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble an elegant, authentic look. While they offer a vintage look and an affordable price, production is limited to just 500 guitars per color. Availability is therefore limited, so choose your favorite model now while you can!
