Billie & Gibson Contract problems?

Hey,

I was just wondering if Billie & Gibson are in some kind of a fight?

Not long ago, he was playing gibson guitars most of the time. They where even thinking about giving him another signature.

But at some of the last concerts he was only playing that black/white fender, a rickenbacker and some custom les paul he smashed @ reading.

Does anyone know anything? I'm just curious.

I think he's just playing with different sounds.

That Les Paul he threw was a Gibson, though.

Well, i wouldn't interpret too much into this.

Maybe he is just using other guitars, because he wanted to use other guitars for some time.

Don't you remember Canelo?

I just think that you have to sign some kind of contract if you get a signature... like "play it atleast 65% of the time" or something..

The guitar he threw at reading wasn't tuned right, didn't have anything to do with the provider.

Also I'm pretty sure Billie wouldn't throw a hissy fit because someone didn't give him free shit, he already has about 100 guitars as far as I know, and is more than capable of buying his own custom stuff.

In the future, please ask small questions and trivia like this in the Q&A thread.

I wasn't saying he threw it because of the provider. I was telling the OP that Billie has played Gibson recently.

He played it wrong at the beginning... was it tuned wrong too? If i would destroy every guitar that is out of tune I would have a serious problem

It was out of tune. Shortly before he threw it, you can see him twist a tuning thingy.

Yea but he got my point. What i wanted to say was more like "look he played a gibson for one song and smashed it after"

yes it did. Not the guitars fault. It was either a tech or Billie's own fault

Nope, ES-137.

I doubt there's any issue with contracts or endorsements or whatever. He's always used loads of different guitars, and I imagine he just took a liking to the Fender Telecaster. As he should have, they're great guitars. It's not like he's not using Gibsons at all, and I imagine it's not in their agreement to use the signature Les Paul Juniors at all at this point, since they discontinued it and I've got a feeling they might be doing something with a signature model based on Canelo. This kind of thing happens all the time, it's just how it goes.

Thank God because after purchasing the white Les Paul Jr, the J-180 acoustic, and the TV yellow double cutwaway Les Paul Jr, I cannot afford to buy another signature Billie Joe guitar!!!!!!
