Gibson Les Paul Junior TV Model Johnny Thunders Tribute 2012 TV Yellow

This is a genuine real U.S.A. manufactured Gibson guitar that has been 'distressed' as a tribute to the late great Johnny Thunders. Originally a stock production Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Model with some expensive upgrades, and now a discontinued model. The upgrades are as follows: Correct 50's DMC repro aged knobs, a DMC 50's wrapper bridge/tailpiece combination, original 70's Grover Rotomatic 'milk bottle' tuners and a red celluloid tortoiseshell pickguard. The finish is a factory applied nitro TV Yellow finish and the relic work was done aftermarket. All other parts are original including the BJA signature P90 pickup. The volume pot has been changed to one with a smoother taper. A very cool, unique guitar with the vibe and looks of Johnny Thunders vintage TV Model but without the £8500 price ticket of an original vintage example. Guitar is lightweight, vibrant and sounds and plays incredible. Comes with a perfectly fitted non Gibson decent Canadian made hardshell case. As always, we are always interested in other quality Gibson or Fender guitars.
