Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137

Priced to clear - so no part exchanges can be considered at this price.

As one of the most well-known punk frontmen of this generation, Billie Joe Armstrong leads Greenday.  He's well known for his full-on style, tone, and attitude. The Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 from Gibson Memphis reflects his style, in a guitar that stems from traditional blues, while packing the no-frills, drop-kick that punk stands for.

This light and comfortable to play thinline semi-hollowbody has the ES-175s classic lines, and venetian cutaway, but thanks to a chambered mahogany core that boosts sustain and prevents unwanted feedback, it resonates like an orchestra when you strum it. And when you want it to scream, just crank the two fat and gnarly P-90 pickups - Billie Joe's favourites.
Grab the neck crafted to Billie Joe's specifications, crank up the simple-but effective controls, and you're primed to deliver beefy, meaty slabs of roof burnin' mayhem - while looking regal in a prime Black Cherry Burst nitrocellulose finish with traditional trapezoid inlays on a rosewood fingerboard.
