Gibson
is proud to introduce the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul
Junior.
Designed in close cooperation with Billie Joe, the signature
guitar is modeled closely after “Floyd,” Billie Joe’s original
1956 Les Paul Junior. With a mahogany body and neck and
nickel hardware, the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior
combines the best features of a vintage Junior with some
modern twists. With a new special design stacked double-coil
H-90 and a vintage style non-compensated wraparound tailpiece,
the Billie Joe Armstrong is a ferocious, resonant rock ’n’ roll
guitar, truly worthy of Billie Joe’s name.
Available Colors: Vintage Sunburst , Ebony , Classic White
Since
emerging from the close-knit punk scene of California’s East Bay in the early 1990s, Green
Day have evolved into one of the most popular and creatively
ambitious rock ’n’ roll bands of all time. Frontman Billie
Joe Armstrong—drawing on the buzz-saw guitar of the Ramones
and Hüsker Dü, and the raw poetics of the Replacements’ Paul
Westerberg—has evolved over the years into a fiercely
distinctive guitarist and songwriter. Combining melodic
chord voicing with a blistering, jackhammer rhythm, Armstrong’s
playing deftly underscores the mood and theme of his
songs. Buoyed by one of rock’s truly great rhythm sections—bassist
Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool—Armstrong has proven
just how much can be accomplished with one guitar, bass,
and drums. From the 1994 breakthrough hit “Longview” to
the staggering Who-like sprawl of 2004’s amazing American
Idiot, Green Day have honored the traditions of their
influences while taking stripped-down rock ’n’ roll
to dizzying creative heights.
