Gibson and Billie Joe Armstrong have joined forces for a new line of signature Les Paul Juniors that apply the Green Day frontman’s favourite specs to one of the most classic – and under evolved – electric guitar designs of all time.
For the player who favours minimalism, it doesn’t get much better than the Junior – a stripped-down work of art in mahogany with a single-pickup configuration that does a lot of heavy-lifting tone-wise. Armstrong has had signature Les Paul Juniors before. Most recently, in November 2021, Gibson’s more affordable brand Epiphone released a Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior in Classic White.
