Gretsch G6199 Billy-Bo Jupiter Solid Body Electric Guitar w/ Case - Firebird Red (Pre-Owned)
Our users rate Reverb
Rock luminary Billy Gibbons and Blues Great 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 Gibbons
This guitar is in Excellent Like New Condition, and Includes a Deluxe Billy-Bo Hardshell Case.
