The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar Blog

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of getting a new guitar. I’m really into playing alternative rock and punk rock/pop.

What are your thoughts on the Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior? Is it worth the money, or would I be better off with a different guitar?

Here’s a link:

Thanks!

I think you’re gonna pay way too much for it just because it has his name on it. Les Pauls are amazing guitars… but don’t fork out 7 grand for someone’s siggy. Get a Les Paul with out the crap for about 6 grand less.

Ive been looking at both of these guitars and i cant decide which one is better. Im probably gonna play some rock like AC/DC, alternative, and maybe some metal. Moneys not really an issue for the 2 price ranges. They both look really good so please give me your opinion.


They are both excellent guitars. Personally, I’d go for the Les Paul. But of you want to look like Angus, then maybe the G400 would be better.

And which would you prefer and why?

I am pretty sure it’s all just trim. The neck and the pickups might be a little different, but not insanely different like the necks on stratocasters over the years.

ebay or craiglist. Some towns depending where you live have free advertising. Put up an ad that your looking for one. if your really lucky someone will call with something better. i got a one of a kind epiphone les paul custom standard worth $2,200 and i got it for $300 almost new. try craigslist first though.

OK i know theres no compition but taking the huge price gap into thought how good is the vintage compared to the original for its price?

i have a standard and played many copies and the vintage comes very close,a subtle difference that only becomes a slight niggle through a very good valve amp.enjoy your axe mate.

Im looking for a good ‘meaty’ overdrive sound to use with my les paul custom and marshall mg100dfx.
I would like a pedal that can produce good quality sound both with palm muted and open string playing,
My budget would be up to around £100
Any suggestions much appreciated

Well you would have to rip the neck and current pickups off. Best option is to take it to some place like guitar center and get their opinion.

I cant wait long enough to save up for an Epiphone for £300 when the Vintage is only £150, should i get the Vintage?

That Vintage V100 is good for any type of usic actually. Its a good buy as far as I am concerned. This guitar is durable, the finish seems very thick and well able to withstand small knocks and dings without suffering damage. You can’t go wrong with this model anyhow.

The differences and the qualitys please?
Which one is better overall, would you say?

the pickups, and the wood used to make them…
