Description

The legendary guitar is back for a limited time! G6199 Billy-Bo Jupiter Thunderbird!


The "G6119 Bill Bo Jupiter Thunderbird" is based on a guitar that was created in 1959 as an idea by Bo Diddley.


The G6199 Bill-Bo Jupiter Thunderbird is a guitar that Billy loved so much that he gave it to his friend Billy Gibbons as a gift, so he re-produced it to take with him on tour.


This time, it has been revived as a special model to commemorate Gretsch's 140th anniversary in limited quantities.


The sound produced by Chambered's maple/mahogany body and TV Jones Power'Tron pickups is truly rock'n'roll!


The sound that combines power and air is a must-hear.




Billy F. Gibbons says


Bo gave me a guitar a while back.


When he was recording ZZ Top, he and his engineer went through a storage room for guitars and found the guitar that he thought was the one.


I thought it would be dangerous to use such a rare guitar for recording, so I created this replica model with specs that I liked.


Now it has grown into a groovy guitar that can be used on the main stage.

Own several 300b's inkl. EAT, WE, Elrog, but Takatsuki one of the best!

Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!

Lovely guitar - great buyer experience

I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
