Dom Jackass Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 1691 | Yes I Am God: hmm, probs hard to get a good SRV tone unless you do his whole "0.013 gauge strings downtuned to Eb trick". May aswell just get a strat and throw it at a wall a few times. |
Dom Jackass Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 1691 | Franny.: be wary of buying a guitar off ebay. Go try it out first. The neck could be warped, there could be chips in the finish, could be badly set up (high action, bad inotation) and if youve got it off ebay theres the whole hassle of sending it back. |
Dom Jackass Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 1691 | ELLIE.: ive got a fender telecaster, honey blonde finish. the neck is the sexiest maple ever, i love it. slightly more than my gibson SG i think. I'll work out how to get a picture of them up. oh... my dream guitar..id probably be really boring and go with a gibson les paul. |

Between Halloweens. Banned Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 2410 | I'd LOVE Billie Joe's sig Gibson Les Paul Jnr guitar. In sunburst. |

High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | OR Eventually, I want this. Joe Strummer's my favorite guitarist, and even though I prefer Gibsons to Fenders, I still really want a Telecaster to get that Strummer sound. |
Meski Addict Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 14856 | Mine: Jimmi Hendrix Flying V and Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Jr. |
Nimrod72593 Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 95 | I want the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior SO bad! |
Meski Addict Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 14856 | Nimrod72593:I know, it's so awesome, I wonder what the price is |
PentatonicA Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 85 | Franny.: That's right baby! I also have a soft spot for this one: But I'm not that keen about the little 'triangles' on the frets. The body is gorgeous though... and Jackson's upside-down heads are the meanest in the business! |
PentatonicA Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 85 | Nimrod72593: Meski: Here guys, all you need to know about BJ signature Gibson: Gibson USA - Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior (Plus at the top of the page you got an option to select your region/country) Prices varies but here's an example from $1,469.00 to $2,169.00 www.americanmusical.com or www.guitarcenter.com |

High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | PentatonicA:I don't really think it's worth the price. The specs aren't very different from the Les Paul Jr. which is usually $699. |
PentatonicA Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 85 | Franny.: About the weight… you know I never noticed, but now that you mentioned it, yeah I think you’re right they can be quite heavy. I didn’t notice for two reasons. One; I never got my hands on that many different guitars, never got the opportunity and I’m quite shy to ask to try them in shops, Two; because I’m more of a bass player I started playing guitar fairly recent, so after feeling the weight of a Fender Precision… everything else feels lighter after that (lol). And no I’m not muscular at all I’m tiny and wimpish (lol) I just get a horrible pain in the neck and shoulders… no pain no game I suppose… About the “sustainer” pick ups you got me there. I know they’re EMG 81 and 85 hum bucking pickups. |
PentatonicA Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 85 | Color Me Impressed: I don’t understand this obsession with the Les Paul BJ signature, it cost that much BECAUSE it’s a signature model plus Gibsons tend to be expensive anyways, but all signatures in general tend to cost more. I agree with you I’d just go for an economic junior version (given that I'd like Gibsons wich I don't) and save me the difference, it’s foolish to fork that kind of cash only because, you know… it’s BJ guitar! Screw that! |
Meski Addict Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 14856 | PentatonicA:I have a Rockson Les Paul Jr. and it cost me 99 €, it's very similar to the Gibson one |
Dom Jackass Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 1691 | Meski: possibly in terms of looks, but not much else. As for the BJ signature one, its not gunna be much different that the regular Les Paul Jr. only it'll cost more. You could probably upgrade a regular one, or even an epi, to sound as good. |
