Gibson has written an article taking a look at the various Gibson guitars used by Billie Joe over the last decade. From his Les Paul Jr. to his most recent collaboration with them, the Billie Joe Armstong ES-137. Here's a preview from Gibson.com:

[quote]Ever since Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong bought his first Les Paul junior back in 2000, he's been hooked. Since then he's rarely seen on stage without one. Throughout the past decade, Billie Joe has played various Les Paul Jr's, a Les Paul Special, an SG, and his acoustic signature Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong J-180. Armstrong has even gone so far as to play old Green Day songs, that were originally recorded on other types of guitars, on his LP Jr. So let’s take a look at Billie Joe live on stage with his many Gibson guitars![/quote]
