Description
There are few names more highly regarded in the world of punk-rock than Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. Laying down crushing power chords and cutting vocals with incomparable aggression, Armstrong took the nation by storm and changed rock music as we know it. This Epiphone Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior pays tribute to the punk legend's dynamism - and it's an absolute rock and roll machine.
Crafted from a premium slab of mahogany, the body of this axe projects a rich low-end with a lively resonance, giving it a full-bodied sound that complements heavy chords and scorching leads impressively well. It also sports the iconic Les Paul Junior body shape - a favorite of Armstrong's - complete with a deep single-cutaway that offers access to all 22 frets for high-octane shredding.
This guitar was built for angry, hostile riffage. Crafted from mahogany and shaped with a Vintage '50s neck profile, the neck on this Les Paul Junior boasts truckloads of sustain and a top-notch in-hand feel. And, thanks to its Indian laurel fretboard, your blazing bends and fiery solos will ring out with excellent articulation.
Powering this beast is a single PRO P-90 pickup that churns out its own brand of grit and grind. Bright, lean, and surprisingly hot, this pickup sounds excellent no matter what you run it through. Put it in front of your favorite clean amp, and you'll be graced with stellar clarity that makes each note sizzle. Kick on your favorite dirt pedals and crank up the gain, though, and you'll conjure a brutal snarl that will be sure to melt faces.
Complete with a classy leopard print hardshell case to keep your axe safe and stylish, this Epiphone Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior is a top-notch guitar made for true, unbridled rock. If you've hoping to replicate that classic, biting Green Day guitar tone we all know and love, this Les Paul Junior is the perfect tool for it.
