For something particularly star-studded, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is a knockout pick of seldom-seen Gibson specifications. This limited release from the iconic name comes together with a selection of rare appointments from the Gibson library to add up to another modern classic.

Establishing things with a few 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 produced by the mahogany are matched with a AA figured maple cap for a bright and crisp tone right off the bat. For the body's visual presentation, Gibson lets us in on the first of the Double Trouble's sleeve of tricks.

Entering the limelight 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 you might find on other Les Pauls, imparts a well-loved 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 aesthetically unique.

From here, a mahogany neck takes its place with a SlimTaper profile. This notably speedy and slender neck enables quick 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 bold and bright visual element. On the Double Trouble, playability is anything but with its slim neck and rich rosewood.

This Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble clock in with a duo of refined Gibson humbuckers. In the bridge position, the Double Trouble features a Burstbucker 61T alongside the neck's Burstbucker 61R. Playing with a robust and crisp 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. Audibly intriguing and visually unique, these pickups play with all the excitement you've come to know from Gibson.

Touching on the finishing elements on this Double Trouble model, this Gibson comes fitted with a host of fine hardware specifications. A Graph Tech nut aligns along the headstock with Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and Kidney buttons. Enabling easy stringing past 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 fine hundred pieces worldwide, this unique release from one of guitar's premier names makes for quite a bit of excitement.

Rolling out the red carpet with unique Gibson style, the Les Paul Standard 60s Double Trouble is a stellar example of Gibson design in motion. Grab one of these limited pieces and get into a little trouble yourself.
