Gibson Unveils Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior

Designed in collaboration with Green Day’s legendary guitarist, Billie Joe Armstrong, Gibson has unveiled the new Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior.

The new Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior has everything players need for great tone with no frills to get in the way, including a mahogany neck with 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 Gibson’s latest hum-canceling pickup designed by Gibson master luthier Jim DeCola and features a modernized version of the Sidewinder dual-coil technology that was first developed by Seth Lover in 1958. It delivers a hum-free P-90 with the most authentic P-90 tonality yet, retaining the classic sound of a single coil P-90 while eliminating the noise.

The Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior is offered in Silver Mist and Vintage Ebony Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes and a custom hardshell case with a pink exterior, and a striking leopard-print interior is also included.

“The single cut 50’s Les Paul Jr has been the root of my guitar tone for over 20 years,” says Billie Joe Armstrong. “Ever since I bought ‘Floyd’ my 1956 Sunburst Jr, in the early 2000’s I have been addicted. It’s a simple, raw, and powerful guitar that has a sound that just can’t be beat! Plug it straight into any tube amp, crank it and it will roar!“
