Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Limited to 500 instruments per finish, the Les Paul Standard '50s Double Trouble combines a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body, AA figured maple top, and hand-sprayed Vintage Cherry Sunburst gloss nitro finish. Its rounded '50s Vintage mahogany neck meets a rosewood board with 22 medium-jumbo frets. Handcrafted Burstbucker 1 neck and Burstbucker 2 bridge pickups use Double Classic White bobbins, while individual volume and tone controls are handwired with Orange Drop capacitors. It gives players a vintage-focused Les Paul control layout for recording, rehearsal, or stage use.
