Over the past few years Billie Joe has done quite a bit with Gibson guitars, everything from basic recording to releasing two signature model guitars, the Billie Joe J-180 and the Billie Joe Les Paul Jr. Yesterday, Gibson published a new article on their site with various interviews with Billie Joe talking about why he thinks Gibsons are the "Perfect Rock Guitars".
"For me, I think that Les Paul Juniors have more of a rock and roll sound, because it's the true sound of a guitar. The sound I go for is that really punchy, midrange kind of sound, and the first time I ever picked up a Les Paul Jr. - the one which was my guitar which I call "Floyd" - I plugged it in and the sound that was in my head for so many years, it exactly fit that, and even more."
None of the interview is new, rather Gibson just compiled a bunch of quotes from old interviews where Billie was talking about their guitars. Either way the article is still a good read. You can read the whole article over on Gibson.com now by clicking here.
