NAMM 2011 - Gibson introduces the Billie Joe Armstrong guitar

[1013637]

Billy Joe can rot in hell. However this guitar looks like a winner.

[AmeliaXGaara]

me want! haha..i really want this! but is so hard to find a Gibson guitar dealer here.. =( *sobs

[TehxStorm]

@AmeliaXGaara There's always Guitar Center o-ob

[lofasztaseggedbe]

yeah i mean billie joe is mostly plays electric and the only thing why i fnd it weird becuase country players don't get much attention or signaturemodels but they are use them for like 20-30 years. Gibson made this to earn a lot of money they usually do it becuase they found someone who is popular and can put out a rare guitar which will cost more and more. But their guitars are very great so thats just great marketing. :D

[heerserjordi95]

some people just don't know that billie can play stuff like slash can do

he can but most of the time he plays just chords,power chords and things like good riddence/wake me up..... stuff.

but he is very talented, a good songwriter and has become a great live singer over the years

so just fuck off

[lund3000]

@heerserjordi95 Dude, shut the fuck up, don't compare Armstrong to Slash.

And how the fuck do you that anyways? No wait, you don't. You're making it up, so you can think that you listen to the greatest guitarist of all time.

Why don't you just fuck off?

[heerserjordi95]

@lund3000

LOL WRONG

havent u heard green days old records

billie did awesome fast solos back than!!!

am i making it up?

your making it up ''that i am making this up''

BAM!!, IN THE FACE!!

but, happy holidays! ( no sarcasm..mean it xd )

[Panholzer1]

@lund3000

Slash is the most overrated guitar player in the history of Rock 'n' Roll. This dude barely knows the pentatonic scale. BIllie Joe is capable of solos that Slash couldn't even play in his dreams.

On-Topic:

I got this guitar for Christmas and it sounds amazingly great! I've held a lot of Gibsons in my hands, but the Billie Joe Armstrong J-180 is certainly the best acoustic I've ever heard.

[funkyp4nd4]

Dude. He said Billie Joel. This dumbass works for gibson and can't even tell which models are which.

[lukas28ytb]

watch his acoustic encores, you will see he plays more than just powerchords. idiots

i love green day and billie but this guitar is ugly :D

[mjpugh123]

You can tell that he has never heard a Green Day song before. I can just imagine Billie Joe kicking this guy's ass for calling him Billie "Joel".

[IsaacMartinMusic]

I fucking love that guitar

[alan11931]

Billie Joe is a very talented musician, and has created alot of good music on the guitar. Doesnt matter if he plays power chords all the time. I dont know why people are so pissed off that Billie Joe released a signature acoustic guitar, kind of immature.

[ForeverAlone220]

@alan11931 They're all jealousy metalheads my friend...

[alan11931]

@ForeverAlone220 Exactly

[XxmaximilianxX1]

AND THE PRICE?

[powertotehchord]

@XxmaximilianxX1 about $4k lol

[evhwolfgangguitar]

Musicians Friend !

Really loving these new reviews ! 2011 will be an epic year in the Guitar World !

Thank you for posting this one guys , God Bless

[robibm2003]

Not that I have anything against Green Day or Armstrong (in fact, I like some of their material), but when the concept, "top notch musicianship" is being discussed, he isn't one of the names that will ever come up.

[GibsonKLO]

STOP DOING COPY GUITARS !

I WANT AN ORIGINAL GIBSON DESIGN NOT A BLOODY " BASED FROM " GUITAR !

[ItsMeGeoffo]

@GibsonKLO calm down bro

[polishbroadcast]

@blawrence93 He's a master luthier not a QVC host. He is building the best guitars Gibson has made for a long time.

[jjulch]

Does it say Billy Joel ask for so ugly its expensive on his design order?

[AndySan]

I did a double-take when I though he said Billy Joel lol!

[TheHawkdaddy]

signature models, so punk, so anti establishment.

[IllusionaryMind8]

Why such a big and ugly pickguard? It must add something bad to the resonance.

[Burnage360]

i actually know ren. hes a cool dude

[J3PPISH]

@cperalta92 who fucking cares?? Billie is a great guitar player,why dont you put out an video where you show that youre better than Billie Joe??

[kobe4270]

@cperalta92 what else do you use acustic guitars for? to shread? nahh bitch

[cperalta92]

@kobe4270 You can use acoustic guitars for playing real chords and melodies like a grown up. You can do much more with a guitar than just power chords and shredding.

[kobe4270]

@cperalta92 i didnt say you should shread on an acoustic guitar. and yeah thats true

[AldoZuper]

@cperalta92 shut the fuck up you bastard...!!

[monsterguitar94]

@cperalta92 yea honestly, instead of hating why don't you watch in learn.

[Secondofolitude]

@cperalta92 not for his independent stuff bro :P

[IGOTYR64]

@cperalta92 Shows what you know

[francocarlos56]

@cperalta92 Fuck off your just jealous Bitch!!

[cperalta92]

@francocarlos56 Of what, Billie Joe? That 'custom' guitar? You?

[francocarlos56]

@cperalta92 Of billlie joe because hes rich famous and has an awesome band and the guitar because they wont make a custom guitar for you and me because im posting this awesome comment!!

[artgonewrong]

Did he say, 'The Billy Joel model'?

[Metallica512021]

@artgonewrong I believe so

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@artgonewrong Yeah, there's a pull-out piano from the back of the body. Pretty damn snazzy.

[ToXiCzOmBeFaRtZ]

@artgonewrong Yup.



[Goth3m3]

The guitarist for Hurt plays a J-180 for acoustic shows, and it's absolutely blows me away. Second only to high end Taylor's I think.

[libertyfalls]

Billy Joel? Its Billy Joe nimrod. I dont even like Green Day but damn...

[ThoseGreenDayz]

@libertyfalls No, it's BILLIE Joe. You're no better.

[libertyfalls]

@ThoseGreenDayz Billie, billy...  who gives a shit. at least it sounded right.
