Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong J-180 Acoustic

Billie Joe’s new Gibson J-180 is based on the model used by The Everly Brothers. Tweaks include star inlays on the fretboard and Billie Joe’s name on the trussrod cover. The only thing is, it’s limited edition and costs over $4,000. Despite being afraid to scratch it, we played it, and ‘Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)’ has never sounded so good.
