Epiphone Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Jr - Unboxing, Demo, & Review (4K)

[@jeffmaltby6185]

Funny story -- I actually " Uncased " Billie's guitar at a airport hangar in Orlando. My buddy's friend was the boss there and he called and said Green Days shit was there all ready to be loaded for them to go overseas I think to Japan or whatever , this was in 2000. So I picked my buddy up we headed over . I uncased his guitar and just strummed it real quick 😃 Strings were loosened for flight. Billie Joes skateboard was leaned up against his bag so of course I took that for a quick spin around the hangar , ( Sorry Billie ) and last but not least , snagged a couple stickers . FUn TiMes !!! 😆

[@brandynkilpatrick]

absolutely love that story!!! would be funny if he saw this comment and was like "I knew some fucker stole those stickers!" hahahaha

I have an inspired by Gibson TV yellow 2 pup Epiphone Special. It plays even better that my 2 Gibson CS LPs.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

These newer Epiphones are really setting the bar high, all of them I've played have been great.

[@OscarBenben]

This guitar is worth buying just for that case.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Absolutely!

[@purple_dragon4895]

Picking one of these up on Tuesday for sure tried one on wensday loved it

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Nice, hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@purple_dragon4895]

@Berscak Custom Guitars you're review was also very helpful been wanting to see other people's opinions on it

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

@@purple_dragon4895 Glad I could be of help!

[@vanshankguitars]

Glad they have the special hard shell case.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

It's a really nice case too! It has a good amount of padding and the latches feel solid...what a great deal at this price point!

[@DeadPunk_]

The case can hold a full size Gibson les Paul also as seen in another review

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

@@DeadPunk_ good to know!

[@captainbufoalvarius4508]

Beautiful guitar for the Money. I’m picking on up ASAP

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Definitely! I highly recommend it, I think you'll be very happy with it

[@garyp5522]

Great Review.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks for watching!

[@malcolmsansom5026]

Tremendous unboxing vid and the guitar ain't bad either, infact I want 1 🤣👍🎸

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks, I appreciate it! The guitar is pretty sweet, not gonna lie. Can't go wrong with a Les Paul Jr, and the non-Billie Joe ones by Epiphone are even less expensive, but no case.

[@MCgamingDutch]

Funny how the Gibson signature junior DC came with a gig bag, and the epiphone which is more than half the price, is sold with a guitar case 😂

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Right?! Not only a hard case, but a custom hard case...can't beat the value!

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Just picked up one those amps you have in the background (white combo), curious if you dig it. Thanks! Like the Epi/Bille Joe model.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks for watching! That amp is the Monoprice/Stage Right 15W amp. Its basically a Laney Cub 12R clone. Similar to a Marshall 2204 circuit, but lower wattage. Its pretty good for the price, I recommend putting better tubes in and re-biasing it, take it to a tech if you've never done it before bc the whole amp has to come apart and it could be dangerous. But it really improves the overall tone. I still have the stock speaker, but I've been considering putting something like a Greenback in it. Can't go wrong for the money though!

[@philsequeira3180]

Sounds good. Prime candidate for a Dylan P90 to make it sound great?

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

That's what I had in mind!

[@MrDrewseph]

I want one of these -because- of the chunky neck Could be more chunky tbh

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

The neck was pretty chunky, but it doesn't bother me. Its definitely the most chunky neck in my collection. Thanks for watching!

[@johnboyc5]

Doesn’t Sweetwater do a setup of all their guitars before sending them out?

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks for watching! They do a 55 point inspection to make sure everything is within manufacturer spec, but they don't actually do a setup...you can get one, but that's extra. This guitar did not have a setup, I just pulled it out of the box and tuned it up.

[@blueXtwoplustwo]

only white color is a mistake by epi.

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Agreed! I personally really love the white, but it would have been nice if they also offered it in his vintage sunburst, esp bc his more yellow than the regular sunburst they offer

[@blueXtwoplustwo]

@@BerscakCustomGuitars ya. and also some sparkling colors that Billie has been rocking on recent 10 years.

[@anthonysclafani3963]

It was leaked a few months ago that these white Jrs were coming and the leak also said multiple Billie sigs would come throughout the year, so I'm guessing more will come since that leak turned out to be true. Most likely a sunburst or silver sparkle imo

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

@@anthonysclafani3963 that would be awesome...can't wait to see!

[@BrokenRealityYT]

I've been considering picking up a second one to do a silver sparkle paint job on but I just don't have the extra funds right now.

[@KevinMillard68]

800.00 canadain id buy the case for my JR vintage burst , there is nothing special about this guitar tho its the same as mine just in white and a signature on it which is no big deal

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

I mean, you're not wrong. But its still a fantastic price for the guitar plus a hard case, let alone such a unique case. But its a good option for anyone wanting a white Les Paul Jr that won't break the bank. Thanks for watching!

[@ASM881]

Both of my intonation screws fell off and are gone. Does anyone know how to replace them?

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Not sure if they sell those screws separately or even what size screw they are, but you could always get a new bridge and either just use the new bridge entirely, or take the screws off the new bridge and use them in your original bridge.

[@Danielgarayaguitar]

excelent!!! Love les paul jr billie joe lml

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks!

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@rudywp578]

Nice good

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Thanks for watching!

[@sbag37]

Thank you for playing what people would actually buy this for and not guitar wankery to let viewers know you're too good for punk playing. Lol

[@BerscakCustomGuitars]

Haha well, its about all I really CAN play, but thanks! Not exactly the most accomplished guitar player here, but I try!

[@sbag37]

Ahh, you're fine. People wanna hear what that guitar is being sold to do. It's fine to hear what else can be accomplished with it but this one is a simple one so you just need to hear how much of a Rock n Roll machine it is.
