Jimmy Strummer Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I'm not sure if they stopped making Billie's signatures altogether, but I see you can still buy his double cutaway on guitarcenter.com http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Billie-Joe-Armstrong-Signature-Les-Paul-Junior-Double-Cutaway-Electric-Guitar-108266008-i1628172.gc I heard something about Gibson stopping production of ALL Les Paul Junior models. Not sure if it's true, but I think that's why all the prices were slashed a few months ago. You could get a regular Les Paul Junior for $500 when they're normally $1000. Did you by chance go to the Guitar Center in Manhattan? Because the one there had a dent in it. Yeah, from the looks of Musician's Friend, the only ones left are the Special model with humbuckers, and the V.O.S./Custom Shop models that are priced for 2500 or 2800. Hopefully this means that they'll make more lower-priced Epiphone Juniors. And if that's the case, I hope they put P-90's in them instead of humbuckers.

They make an Epiphone Les Paul Special I with two P-90's, and it's freaking awesome. but since I have the Gibson version, I pulled out the P-90s and put 'em on a strat! I saw a GIBSON Les Paul Jr. with a single humbucker -- is it fake? I thought all Juniors had P-90s, except for the Junior Specials which come in both humbuckers and P-90s. I love how he put the N.L.T.L. sticker on there !

Ehh, I don't like the look of that Epi Special. I don't like how the toggle and the knobs are arranged, and it should have a pickguard. It should look more like the Gibson Special. No, I don't think the Gibson Jr. with the humbucker is a fake. I've seen one of those at the Guitar Center I frequent, it must've been just a limited-edition model.
