Seller's description

Gretsch Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird from 2007. Not something that we see come through the shop everyday, actually, as a matter of fact..this is the first one! Light surface scratches on the back of the body, but no major dings and the frets have plenty of life left. These came stock with TV Jones pickups. I dunno, when you have a sig guitar that is both Bo and Billy, 2 of the greats, how can you go wrong. Here is the lowdown: "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. 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! Made in Japan and comes with the awesome rectangular Gretsch case. SN JT07084355. Weight: 3.30kgs. "A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun." - Bo Diddley.
