Billie Joe's Guitars Thread

Does anyone know if Billie had the Bill Lawrence USA, or Bill and Becky before the Seymour Duncan? I've been looking at old videos and I can never tell if it has the chrome plating. Also I know that the BLUSA ones say Bill Lawrence USA on them but I've heard that it comes off really easily. Also if anyone is able to tell if he has 250 or 500k pots in the old recordings. Having 250k pots with a Bill Lawrence L500XL no matter which makes treble bleed through like crazy so yeah.

I've been trying to figure out if this is a respray or new guitar since I first saw it. I don't recall him having a fretboard with those details before, (red dots and black hearts) but correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks to be a modded Melody Maker...

I dunno, but I can't get over how cool the inlays look on this.

This guitar is the Gibson Joan Jett Melody Maker Blackheart. I guess the picture is from the Joan Jett's event he took part on.

I have about 20 of the Gilman stickers. Legit too, not home made.
