The Faded Doublecut has its origin in the Les Paul Special Doublecut, which is an all-mahogany flat-top guitar with P-90 pickups first produced from 1958–1960. The "Faded" model is called such because the nitrocellulose finish is not thick and glossy like the original vintage examples or Custom Shop double cut Les Pauls.
The model is available in worn brown and worn cherry finishes, featuring a "satin" nitrocellulose finish. In 2009, the Vintage Mahogany was renamed the Les Paul Studio Faded. These models (adding worn blue and worn ebony as color choices, as well as "satin" fireburst and yellow) featured the carved maple top of other Les Paul models.
Relic'ing (also written as relicing) is the process of distressing a guitar to mimic the worn appearance and broken-in feel of older, vintage guitars.

Gibson recreated this unique guitar in 2011, producing 450 examples including 100 hand-aged, numbered versions and 350 utilising the vintage original spec process.

Duco was the finish applied to National String Instrument Corporation brand of resonator guitars c. 1930. A DuPont Duco nitrocellulosic lacquer was also applied on early Fender Telecaster guitars ("butterscotch" or honey color) : that ultra thin finish was a significant contribution to this guitar specific resonance and sound.
