Gibson Billy joe Armstrong LP JR

[Mikelamury]

Gibson released a new Billy joe Armstrong junior. This one has a new sidewinder P90 noiseless dogear pickup and a hot pink chainsaw case and a new paint option of silver mist I believe. I don't know if the new pickup and chainsaw case is worth the extra $500. Looks cool but not for everyone obviously.

Does that still have the original pickup in it? Not bad condition for a real 58'

If i were a schmuck and a liar i could probably snucker someone into believeing its a real 58' but alas i am an honest man.
Its a Custom build by a guy on the East Coast who stopped building guitars.
I should have my head examined if i ever sell this guitar because its perfect in every way and sounds like a million bucks.
This one has a tapped Kent Armstrong P-90. It really doesn't suffer from any noticable 60 cycle hum.

I like how the case is fancier than the guitar, LOL.

He must be some kind of genius to have designed a guitar that has existed since 1954.

HOW DOES HE DO IT?!

Ah, s**t. We have to go back and change the timeline AGAIN.

It's Gibson USA, right? Seems a bit pricey for a Gibson USA Junior. But definitely not CS prices.

 

[orpheo]

wth? 2500 bucks for THAT?! I remember his LP Jr. sig from around 2007. That was around 1200 and even that was a stretch, at the time.

Painful.

The case is significantly cooler than the guitar.

The guitar is cool! It's just expensive for what it is.

But the case, yeah, LOL. Totally different vibe.

Not as bad as the article I saw where it said Ed O'Brien from Radiohead had to 'invent a new instrument' to get what he wanted.. when he got a strat contoured for him.

Radiohead invented the strat?! Lol

Designed by the Green Day Punk Rock Legend


The new Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul™ Junior is an exceptional guitar to rock out on, whether you play rock or punk. Designed in collaboration with Green Day’s legendary guitarist, it has everything you need for great tone with no frills to get in your way, including a mahogany neck with a Billie Joe Armstrong SlimTaper™ profile, rosewood fretboard, Graph Tech® nut, and Billie Joe’s signature on the truss rod cover. The mahogany body is equipped with a wraparound bridge/tailpiece and a P-90 DC Dogear pickup. The P-90 DC is our latest hum-canceling design. It features a modernized version of the Sidewinder dual-coil technology that was first developed by Seth Lover in 1958, delivering a hum-free P-90 with the most authentic P-90 tonality yet, retaining the classic sound of a single . . .

Well it does include the Billie Joe Truss rod cover

I think his fans from the 90s now have good jobs, so I would expect these to sell out.
