Gibson has introduced the new Les Paul<\/a> Studio Double Trouble, which, arriving in Cherry Sunburst and Dirty Lemon Burst finishes, is designed to feel like home as soon as you pick it up.<\/p>\n

It comes in the wake of the successful but limited run of Les Paul Standard Double Trouble<\/a> models from summer \u201925, with exposed Burstbucker Pro pickups, featuring Double Classic White bobbins \u2013 hence its name \u2013 \u201cfor a bold, stage\u2011ready look.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea that a guitar should feel like it belongs to the player from minute one drives the design, and, in fact, Gibson goes one step further, saying that the Double Trouble \u201ctranslates ideas effortlessly into sound.\u201d It sticks to the templates that have made the Les Paul Studio a loyal servant for decades, but instills it with a fresh attitude.<\/p>\n

Much like the new Epiphone Futura Les Paul Custom<\/a>, the Studio Double Trouble benefits from an \u201cultra-modern\u201d weight relief for its mahogany body. That\u2019s topped with a carved plain maple cap to bolster the clarity of its attack \u2013 mahogany and maple have long been a dynamic tonewood duo \u2013 with the mahogany, in keeping with the traditional LP spirit, glued in place.<\/p>\n

The neck, which is iced with a bound rosewood fingerboard featuring acrylic trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a 12\u201d radius, is carved to SlimTaper profile.<\/p>\n

The old faithful Nashville Tune\u2011O\u2011Matic bridge returns here, and is paired with a lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece, Graph Tech nut, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone Buttons. As you\u2019d want from a studio workhorse, tuning stability should be rock solid.<\/p>\n

Its name-inspiring pickups are Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbuckers<\/a>, wound for \u201cpower, articulation, and dynamic response,\u201d and left uncovered, outfitted with Double Classic White bobbins \u2013 a subtle but effective tweak on the typical Les Paul look.<\/p>\n

Each \u2019bucker gets independent volume controls with push\/pull coil-splitting for single coil<\/a> bite, while individual tone controls round out its sculptability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Les Paul Studio Double Trouble represents the essential Les Paul concept \u2013 refreshed for today\u2019s musicians who want something more personal than just another guitar,\u201d says Gibson. \u201cThis is the one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like its predecessor, this is also being sold as a limited-edition run, while its $1,599 outlay reflects the LP Studio\u2019s affordable heritage.<\/p>\n
