all you really need is fender with a humbucker for early material. gibson with a p90 for newer material. into a marshall.

If Slash can have tons of Gibson guitars even when the legendary AFD Les Paul isn't an original Gibson, then obviously Billie Joe can have a "Blue" strat by Fender. The only problem here... He's married with Gibson, but hey! Clapton has worked with both Fender & Gibson, the same goes for Gilmour, Hendrix and many other players.

After working in a music store in the 80's , I first wanted to thank you both for taking me back to the some of the best days of my life. Working in the store during the day, playing out with the band at night, good times. Beyond that, you both are awesome and incredibly talented. You are knowledgeable about both the music and the gear you sell way beyond the point of most people who have been working in some of the stores or more importantly think that they could. The way that you can pair up the instrument and amplifier with the accessories to achieve the best sound is evidence of deep industry experience. I really appreciate what you are doing and I'll keep watching. All the best, Pete

I think Lee may need to order more Jr Tributes and Astoria amps. What a glourious sound !!!

[@Andresortega-nd2js]

I have been waiting for this day Also the amps that Billie uses are 2 Marshall super lead plexis called Pete and mete. Pete has the dookie mod on it, which gives it another gain stage, and a volume control with some other enhancements , while mete has a more general mod called the gain mod, that also adds a gain stage and volume knob. His blue strat is a Fernandez copy from the late 70s that originally had a bill lawrence 500XL pickup in it. He recorded all albums up to Dookie with that pickup, and not soon after that he switched to the Seymour Duncan JB. When nimrod came around, he began to use old juniors with p90s and humbuckers, and he did so until about the American idiot era. After that he’s used rickenbackers, les Paul’s (standards and customs) , and gretsch guitars for live use, and on ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tre!.

[@andrewunknown111]

He switched out to the Seymour Duncan because his 500XL was trashed at Woodstock ‘94 from the mud fight

[@jeffruebens8355]

I really like when the body color matches either the fretboard or headstock, and the bigger and black pickguard for this Gibson. My suggestion- do Dr. Feelgood with Wilco Johnson on a budget- they have some great live videos from the 70s on KZbin. They are lesser known because their studio albums were not very good, although Wilco is still doing live shows and was a guest for Game of Thrones as an executioner.
