Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Vintage Honey Burst Les Paul Standard '60s Double Trouble is a limited model with a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body, AA figured maple top, and hand-sprayed vintage nitrocellulose finish. Its SlimTaper mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard are described for fast playing. The uncovered Burstbucker 61R neck and 61T bridge humbuckers use Double Classic White bobbins and Alnico 5 magnets, with individual volume and tone controls handwired with Orange Drop capacitors. An ABR-1 bridge, aluminum stopbar, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and hardshell case support the complete instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or studio work that uses independent volume and tone controls to shape the two humbuckers.
- Players wanting a SlimTaper mahogany neck and 22-fret rosewood fingerboard for fast passages.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a neck profile other than SlimTaper.
- Players seeking a weight-relieved body; this solid mahogany body is non-weight-relieved.
