Virginia Lot Lizard Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi there. I’m having trouble locating sale listings for the Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior. If anyone comes across any listings could they kindly post them here? There are at least a couple of us who are on the hunt for a BJA Les Paul Junior. I would prefer the first model from 2006 or whenever it was but would appreciate taking a look at all availability of all BJA Signature Les Paul Junior guitars. The GDC has some very talented detectives and knowledgeable fans. It’s impressive. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I plan to buy one as well next year if I can find one. Right now I just found this one on ebay (but 2018 model): https://www.ebay.at/itm/MINT-2018-Gibson-Limited-Edition-Les-Paul-Jr-Billie-Joe-Armstrong-Junior-Mara-/194207058519?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 And oh wow you can buy a ton of different pickguards for that guitar on ebay 😂 Oh but look at that. I don‘t know how close to 2006 we can get: https://reverb.com/p/gibson-billie-joe-armstrong-les-paul-junior-singlecut-2006-2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhm quite expensive 😄 the regular Juniors start at about 600-700 if used so it looks like the BJA editions increase in their value 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Billie Joe Les Paul Junior is awesome and not only retains value but even goes up. Billie Joe did not put his name on a piece of junk. But I want one now too rich for my bank account 😆 Oh well. I’ll wait for the next run (if there is one). I hope the next run is exactly like the 2006 BJA Juniors. If that’s possible. A re-issue of the 2006s would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a reissue of the double cut from 2012. This guitar is also really cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan86 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I have the sunburst from the first set of Les Paul Jr Signature guitars from Billie. Tbh it’s an average guitar and I was disappointed with it. If I had the choice now I’d just buy a regular Les Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have three of the original version, I may be willing to sell for the right price 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks great and sounds great and it definitely has an X factor and it’s not even a mystery: it’s a desirable guitar and it’s a lot to do with the fact that it’s a BJA signature piece… a piece of a art ❤️ a masterpiece ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Lot Lizard Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Kinda glancing but not examining/haven’t seen any clear pics yet… did anyone notice Billie playing any new Gibson guitars the last couple of shows? Is this a sneak peek of something? I am not as detailed oriented as some of the detectives of the GDC but I do have an unexplainable intuition that picks things up. Are there new guitars on this tour recently that could be foreshadowing new guitars to be released? Like how the last Signature was in the Longshot video but obviously not anything as blatant as that. Maybe a new stage guitar for a song or two?

I've not looked into in detail but does Billie have a different guitar than usual for Minority? Then there's the white with black stripes. Bear in mind I know nothing about guitars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just a little google and took a look at a grainy Minority performance video from last night. I’m not that great at guitars but I think that’s a Gretsch? Pretty sure I saw a kinda Juniory newish guitar somewhere. A new one I hadn’t seen before but not the black and white one from a few shows before. A new new one. I think it was plain white (maybe). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks new to me but similar to his LPJs (not the giveaway Epiphone one the white one Billie is playing). Of course it’s possible they could do a signature Epiphone model to make one in a lower price range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tour is the first time I've seen him play one of those. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many guitars he has (probably more than he knows) or at least how many and what kinds of guitars are on this tour? Les Paul Juniors are my fav. I wonder how many are on tour with him right now. I would love one of those behind the scenes videos where there’s a run down of some of the gear. The drums look super cool too. Everything. Mikes white bass I want to know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
