The Gibson Memphis Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 is the happy result of a design collaboration between the Green Day front man and Gibson's ace Custom Shop luthiers. First off, this guitar is a looker, with a delectable, vintage-flavored black cherry burst nitrocellulose finish. With its fast neck and rosewood fingerboard, this instrument is a pleasure to play. Billie is a fan of P-90 pickups, and he's spec'd a pair of Custom Shop Memphis P-90s for his signature axe, so you can expect a versatile range of tone from this guitar, from mellow to extremely rude. The Gibson Memphis Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137. You know you want it.

Gibson Memphis Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

It's a player's guitar, with buttery playability, stunning tone, and looks to kill. Take the stage with this axe, and all eyes - and ears - will be on you. Take it into the studio, and you'll have the sonic wherewithal to nail any part - in any genre.

P-90 single-coils deliver the goods

The Gibson Memphis Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 is fitted with two Memphis P-90 pickups. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 can be heard on countless classic recordings. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails. It's an amazingly versatile pickup (more so, arguably, than most humbuckers).

And little touches like the quartersawn mahogany neck and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel, they remain true to the ES Series as well as Gibson's history.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.   

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
