Description

* This Les Paul DT is in mint condition with less than 5 hours of playing time. This is a limited edition of 500 units so it won’t last long. It has been discounted drastically from its original purchase price of $3799.00 for a quick sale to the right player. I purchased this guitar in late Jan 2026 on Reverb “new” from Wentworth Music in Kelowna BC. This LP looks and plays better than the description. * Pic 11 shows the pristine condition of the glassy nitro top finish.

So why am I selling it? Only because I also picked up a 2014 CS 1959 (R9) VOS at about the same time as the DT. I didn’t believe I’d get the price on the CS also here on Reverb but I did.

The colour changes with different lighting conditions but this tobacco burst is closest in colour to the studio shots. The action is a low-med (1.75 mm low E) buzzless setup with incredible tone and sustain. It’s hard to believe this particular guitar is not a Custom Shop. It’s really that good!

The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble delivers all of the features and performance of Gibson's regular Les Paul Standard 50s models but with even more vintage appeal. These limited-run Les Paul models differ from our standard Les Paul Standard 50s models in two respects. First, the Burstbucker™ 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups are left uncovered, and each has Double Classic White bobbins and is fitted with the standard Alnico 2 magnets. The second difference is in the finish. The finish colors are "Vintage" variations on our standard nitrocellulose lacquer finishes.

Gibson's standard gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes represent the finishes on brand-new models from the 1950s, while the full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer Vintage finishes on the Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble models are slightly faded when compared to the standard versions, like the subtly faded light vintage aging that occurs over several years. The burst patterns vary somewhat from guitar to guitar since each is individually hand-sprayed.

Of course, all of the standard features that make the Les Paul Standard 50s models so widely loved are all still here, including a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body with an AA figured maple top and a rounded 50s Vintage-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and trapezoid inlays.

The Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and aged gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers.

The uncovered, calibrated Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are internally the same as their standard Burstbucker counterparts, with the exception of the Double Classic White bobbins. They are handcrafted in the Gibson Pickup Shop, loaded with Alnico 2 magnets, and hand-wired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. The Double Classic White pickup bobbins and Vintage finishes combine to give the Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble an elegant vintage vibe. While they have a vintage-style finish and an accessible price, production is limited to only 500 guitars in each color, meaning there's limited availability, so act fast and get your favorite now, while you still can!
