- "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!

Sadly I haven't just got paid, nor have I the legs or tush to earn some money quickly, but dang if that isn't a cool af guitar.
So thick and rich like fresh fudge. I almost forgot about the guitar for a minute just listening to the playing. Some players are so on the money they make it seem like that very kinda music was built for that kinda guitar. I think that's what's going on here. I don't know how he knew but he "sho did be knowin'" cause you can't miss it. Or as a buddy from the Delta often says "I know it don't look like it can be workin' like that but it do."
Holy fuck that sounds incredible… shame it’s £3000 💀
Damn, Greg knows ZZ Top's repertoire pretty well!
Coolest guitar on the planet!
Wow! Topping ZZ! You nail the sound.
Que instrumento maravilhoso!

I have a Gretsch duo jet and love that Gretscg sound. I wouldn't swap it for a 60 Les paul Stabdard. The thunderbird George Harrison had was aso great.
Fool for your stockings? That was immaculate
Chock-full of Top riffs. Great demo
Greg, you are one funny dude, and an excellent guitar player. Love that Billy Bo, but can't afford one so I decided to build one myself. Half way there. Last purchase will be those TV Jones pickups, "Caw Caw!"
Oh Yea! WooF!
Shares a beautiful guitar while giving a rock guitar masterclass ! Thank you Greg !
Man you make the greatest vids with your great great guitar playing and slapstick humor'
it's funny to see how Greg became a legend just by selling guitars on YT - Easily one the best guitar player on the planet ..thank you Greg for honoring so wonderfully with taste all those legends who came before you !! God bless you 🙌
Wow man, those riffs are so damn good you could be the 4th member of zz top!
Damn son. Definitely have to add one of these to my collection. Killer tone.
Ordered. Inbound tomorrow at the time of edit
Those chord tones...foch!
Man that was Lowdown in the street!
Red monster of a guitar... but why are the highest three strings practically invisible? NOT asking for a friend...
Probably just the lighting and camera angle.
WOW
Just NO
I wish they made a left-handed version of this guitar :(
