Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar with Green Day Hardshell Case
The Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior signature electric guitar is modeled closely after “Floyd,” Billie Joe’s original 1956 Les Paul Junior. It has the solid mahogany body and neck and nickel hardware of a vintage Les Paul, but the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior adds some modern features that beat the best Juniors of the past.
Special H-90 Pickup
The vintage Les Paul Junior used a P-90 single coil pickup. It had great sound but often suffered from 60 cycle hum from house current. Problem solved: Gibson engineers working closely with Billie Joe Armstrong have developed a stacked dual coil humbucking pickup, Gibson’s H-90 with all the snarl and punch of a classic, vintage P-90 without the hum.
’60s Slim-Taper Neck Profile
Billie Joe Armstrong prefers the more modern slim-tapered neck of the Les Paul and SG models of the 1960s, so that is the neck on the Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior. This represents a significant improvement in playablity and comfort. After the initial rough cuts are complete and the rosewood fingerboard is attached the finishing is done by hand by Gibson's fine crafts people.
Solid Mahogany Body and Set-Neck Construction
The great tone and sustain of the Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior comes largely from its solid mahogany body and set (permanently glued) neck construction. This assures a tight fit and complete contact between neck and body wood to increase resonance and sustain. The wood is carefully selected by Gibson's experts, carefully dried at constant temperature and humidity, and cured to assure that a Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior will respond evenly to temperature and humidity changes long after it leaves the factory.
Wraparound Tailpiece
A classic piece of hardware, the non-compensated wraparound bridge/tailpiece on the Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior offers a simplicity and functionality that is hard to match. It provides a firm seating for the strings, and allows the player to adjust intonation and string height as needed. It also yields a great union between the strings and body, which results in excellent tone and sustain.
