Our users rate Reverb
Purchased new from Fuller's Guitars of Houston, TX and played live on two tours with The Sword. Very light wear/aging appearing on some of the gold hardware, but remains in superb condition. There is a small vertical scratch on the edge of the pickguard that was present upon purchase (see photo). Everything is original as per the description below with the exception of the strap buttons, which were changed from Schaller strap locks to traditional Gretsch® Knurled Strap Retainer Knobs. The original strap locks, along with all original case material and accessories, are included, as well as two Gretsch straps. Ships in OHSC.
Weight: 7 lbs. 9 oz.
Fuller's original description:
Gretsch G6199TW Billy-Bo Jupiter Thunderbird (Fuller's Exclusive) Western Orange
Rock luminaries Billy F Gibbons and Bo Diddley have joined forces to bring you a 21st-century version of the elusive Gretsch® Jupiter Thunderbird now dubbed the Billy-Bo which was designed in '59 by the talented Bo Diddley himself!
"Some time ago, Bo gave me the guitar as a gift. It was during the recent ZZ Top recordings, when the engineering crew and I snaked through the guitar vault searching for that certain-something guitar, and there it was! We didn't risk subjecting such a rare instrument to the rigors of the road. So this new reproduction model was recreated with some BFG mojo thrown in for good measure. It's now the main stage guitar with a groove." - Billy F Gibbons.
This is a Gretsch Special Run of 16 guitars in the Western Orange color scheme made exclusively for Fuller's Guitar in 2020. Included in the case is a certificate of authenticity, gold strap locks, case keys, Gretsch OK card, warranty card, and Gretsch guitar guide.
