Another Green Day Signature Guitar

Gibson introduces the Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137   30-May-14

Gibson has introduced the Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137. A spokesperson had this to say about it,

"As the premier punk rocker of his generation, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong doesn't compromise on style, tone, or attitude. The new Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 from Gibson Memphis rolls all three into a raging ball of badass, in a guitar that stems from surprising depths of tradition--while packing the no-frills, sucker-punch power that punk demands.

This beautifully light and comfortable to play thinline semi-hollow sports the ES-175's classic lines, but thanks to a chambered mahogany core that enhances sustain and fights unwanted feedback, it rings like a bell when you hit it. And when you want it to wail, just crank the two fat and gnarly Memphis P-90 pickups--long Billie Joe's favorites.

Grab the neck crafted to Billie Joe's preferred proportions, dial in the simplified controls to taste, and you're primed to deliver thick, meaty gobs of house-rockin' mayhem--while looking utterly righteous in a sweet Black Cherry Burst nitrocellulose finish with traditional trapezoid inlays on a rosewood fingerboard. Satisfy your inner punk today at your nearest Gibson dealer."
