Ik heb circa 2 maanden terug een Gretsch Jupiter Billy-Bo gekocht.
Ja de signature van Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top). Ik ben groot fan van Billy en diens sound en vond de gitaar ook zeer apart qua vorm, zeker anders dan de gangbare modellen.
Nou ben ik nieuwsgierig of er hier op gitaarnet nog meer gitaristen deze gitaar hebben of hebben uitgeprobeerd.
Zo ja wat zijn jullie ervaringen.....

From Bo Diddley, Billy F. Gibbons, and Gretsch!
The Billy-Bo is a modern version of the Jupiter Thunderbird designed in 1959 by Bo Diddley himself.
Billy F. Gibbons fell in love with an original given to him by Bo Diddley, but added some of his own mojo
to this new version that he created as his touring axe.
The Billy-Bo features a heavily chambered mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, ultra-thin laminate maple top,
TV Jones Power'Tron (neck) and Power'Tron "Plus" (bridge) pickups, pinned Adjusto-matic bridge, and Schaller Straplocks.
It's a dirty, low-down rock guitar with serious credentials and a vibe that hasn't lessened in nearly 50 years.
