New Release | Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior
Pop punk pioneer Billie Joe Armstrong is a 21st century icon, a poster boy for a generation of rebels and underdogs. The creative mastermind behind Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Green Day, Armstrong’s blend of brash pop punk guitar playing and social commentary has delivered 4 Grammy Award wins and over 75 million records sales. He’s the real deal and a really understated guitar player.
A long-time player of Gibson guitars, Billie Joe has had a number of signature lines bearing his name already, but 2023 sees the release of something pretty special! The Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior, a no-frills powerhouse with tone on tap and cool points by the barrel!
The Les Paul Junior is the most no-nonsense guitar around, 1 pickup, 1 volume and 1 tone but a tonne of attitude, and the Billie Joe Armstrong is no exception! The Mahogany body comes in either Vintage Ebony Gloss or Silver Mist nitro finishes, classic or contemporary, they both look incredible!
The neck is built to Armstrong’s own spec and is crafted from Mahogany. It features a Rosewood board, 22 frets and a Billie Joe Armstrong Slim Taper profile. It’s super comfortable and lends itself really nicely to those fluid power chord riffs that underpin the whole Green Day sound!
What’s this little rocket got under the hood you ask? Well, that’s where it really kicks off! The P-90 DC has been designed by Gibson Master Luthier Jim DeCola, taking the original Sidewinder dual-coil designed by Seth Lover back in 1958, DeCola has delivered hum-free performance with classic tonality.
Housed in a killer custom Protector series hardshell case, this guitar is punk-rock gold!
