So nice to see someone review this and actually play the songs it’s meant to play. So many times you see people review it and play blues or clean things, so pointless! Great video
A lot of times those videos are monetized and you can run into copyright problems when playing song parts. That's why you hear "pseudo-style" parts to sound like an artist without actually playing the songs.
@@jimboc669 While thats definitely true, nobody is buying a billie joe armstrong signature to play blues and jazz. more reviews of power and open chords is better because thats what the target audience is going to want to play
Listening to some old guy play blues on a guitar for a demo is boring. Always clean, doesn’t really show us what it can do. I like the blues but if you’re gonna demo, show us what it can do!
Or hugely saturated gain Tells me nothing about the guitar Clean is preferable for me, tells me what the guitar sounds like (rather than just the amp) Anyway yeah good demo innit
I’ve got one of these and it’s real comfy to play on. I would 100% suggest changing the strings and putting a bit of lemon oil on the fretboard tho because it was dry as hell when I got it out of the case 😭. But It’s been completely fine since ! It’s actually got really good tuning stability, Even the G string lmao. The case is insane in person as well !! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to get one 👍
It's nice package. For intonation's sake, the wrap around bridge should be replaced, and the factory installed tuners could probably benefit with an upgrade to 19:1 locking tuners to boot.
This is a very good guitar for Green Day fans and people who want a Les Paul Junior sound and feel with a low budget. Good sound and beautiful guitar 👍🏻
Brilliant review, also a reminder that a great player will sound great on any guitar….I need to spend more time practising and less time on the evilBay. 😊
My daughter has been practicing a lot on her acoustic guitar and getting pretty good. She really wants an electric guitar for her birthday. This review/demo sold me on getting it for her…and if she doesn’t use it, looks like a fun toy for Dad 😂
Great review!! One question before I buy it: What amp setting were you running it through during the recording? Would it still sound nice in a Fender Blues Junior? Greetings from Germany :)
the 497 has a set in 50ish neck comes with a special hard shell case the 299 has a bolt on slim taper neck comes with a gig bag and has an amp come with it as well
@@Mitch-6-Strings the gibson is 2200.00 this is the epiphone the players pack comes with a small amp and is a 60sish slim bolt on neck with a gig bag that costs 400.00 usd this one does not come with an amp has a 50ish set in neck and come with a spical hard shell case for 550.00 usd
Why does he always play riffs of other artists? Not enough creativity to play your own riffs? The tone was terrible coming out of my surround sound system, it's probably much worse on a cellphone 🙄
Haha! I rarely play riffs from other artists, in this situation I though on a hunch that a lot of folk that are looking to buy this Green Day signature guitar will play a tonne of Green Day! 😆

Going back to the one of the original headstock shapes is one of the best decisions Epiphone ever made.
This guy is a great guitar player and a very entertaining fellow. Absolutely full props.
I like that it just looks like a regular lp junior. No hideous print or something on it.
I had one of these and regret selling it so badly!! It sounded great and could hang with my Gibson Junior super well!!
Old school Green Day will always be my fav. Awesome guitar!
I am so happy that you made this video, i love Billie Joe!
It's now on my list. Thanks for the demo! Great playing once again!
I’m Impressed he knows Oh Love exists true Green Day fan

Just ordered one. Thanks for the recommendations.
I used to sell guitars to Green Day back in the late 90's. Great dudes!
Thats awesome man!
@@PMTVUK A friend of mine was Billie’s guitar teacher also, and he sold Billie’s mom that Fernandez with all the stickers on the front.

I really want to see a video of you talking about the new 2023 Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior
You've got that tone nailed dagan kidda
Got mine yesterday, and I am in love!

Good sound and beautiful guitar 👍🏻
Certainly not a Green Day guy, but as _A Poor_ with an interest in LPs and a single-pickup enjoyer this might be my only choice.
Juniors are never a bad choice. Ask Keith Richards, Johnny thunders, among others.
Brilliant review, also a reminder that a great player will sound great on any guitar….I need to spend more time practising and less time on the evilBay. 😊
Exactly what a review should be.
Try the new Gibson Les Paul Junior Billie Joe Signature. You will love it. It's incredible.
When is the cover album dropping dagan? Id deff cop one up
I need this LP Junior. This reminds me of my first "real" guitar.
American Woman on a Junior, we got a little PHIL X up in here 🤘

Did she like it? I hope she is rockin!
Great review!! One question before I buy it:
What amp setting were you running it through during the recording? Would it still sound nice in a Fender Blues Junior?
Greetings from Germany :)
It should sound fine. Blues juniors are good amps and youll have no trouble making it sound good
I'm unsure if I want the Epiphone Traditional Pro IV or this one.
Is it the 6L6 or EL84 Blackstar St James? Nice video by the way…Thanks!!!
8:55 JJN 🤘🏻🤘🏻
WHAT do you ned more . Perfect guitar
is there a difference to the regular epiphone LP Junior?
It’s a little bit thicker then the Normel ones and it come with a case and I think his signature is on the headstock
Привет,через какой комбоусилитель вы играли
Uuuuuuh, yeah I think I'll take one 🤘
What, exactly, is the difference between the regular Epiphone Les Paul Jr., and the Billy Armstrong Epiphone Les Paul Jr.?
Cost
the bj jr comes with a spical hard shell case is white and has a 50sish neck
Thanks for asking, I wanted to know as well
The neck shape is different. The BJA is fatter
Different P90’s. The Billie Joe is a Seymour Duncan Antiquity P90. The regular has an Epiphone P90 Pro.
Is this the one at £497 or £299? What’s the difference?
the 497 has a set in 50ish neck comes with a special hard shell case
the 299 has a bolt on slim taper neck comes with a gig bag and has an amp come with it as well
@@hikupmusicofficial yeah, thought it was odd that the cheaper one came with an amp. Thought they’d gotten the prices mixed up! 😂
@@jamlemon i think it has to do with the case and if its a bolt on neck or set in neck
$550.00 is reasonable but the Gretsch junior cuts it at $350.00
Which guitar? I've been trying to find Gretsch version of a LP junior style guitar
Doesn't come with a leopard lined hardcase though 😉
Can someone list every song every riff my man just played lol
This is the guitar he used in bullet in a bible concert dvd
Not a fan of Green Day at all, but the guitar seems pretty cool.
Better than fender tom delonge
Confused is this the one from the player pack ? - wouldn’t say £2,199.00 is affordable!
It isn’t £2,199.00
@@ItsJustRyan89 so how much is it ? Is this the player pack ?
@@Mitch-6-Strings the Epiphone player pack is not £2,199.00,
Neither is this…
@@ItsJustRyan89 I don’t know how I can make my question any easier. Did you look at both of the links ? Which one is it ?
@@Mitch-6-Strings the gibson is 2200.00
this is the epiphone
the players pack comes with a small amp and is a 60sish slim bolt on neck with a gig bag that costs 400.00 usd
this one does not come with an amp has a 50ish set in neck and come with a spical hard shell case for 550.00 usd
That Blackstar sounded terrible compared to Green Day.
I'm guessing that guitar is capable of sounding better.
sounds like you were trying to play some georgia sattelites.
My ears 😵😵😖🥴
I can tell Billy where to stick that model.
Epiphones are good enough.. but if your playing professionally get a gibson ❤
Qc is terrible with gibsons and triple the price,all you're paying for is the name on the headstock
tell that to one of the galager brothers (i cant rember witch one) from oasis or john lennon
Oh yeah. I hate Green Day...
Why did you watch the video?
Why does he always play riffs of other artists? Not enough creativity to play your own riffs? The tone was terrible coming out of my surround sound system, it's probably much worse on a cellphone 🙄
You have to be joking? It’s a BJA signature guitar, what should he be playing, simply red?
My God man that's a 0 IQ take
Haha! I rarely play riffs from other artists, in this situation I though on a hunch that a lot of folk that are looking to buy this Green Day signature guitar will play a tonne of Green Day! 😆
@@DaganWilkin a ton of green day and other punk rock type band like the ramones
@@DaganWilkin You forgot to play Mountain on that LP Junior but thats ok its a Green Day kind of day.
