Turning a Squier Strat into Billie Joe Armstrong's 'Blue' guitar. Stickers from - 'Old Skool Relics on ebay.co.uk' - Spray paint - Halfords Ford Riviera Blue. Please note: When this was filmed, I had only been playing a couple of months. I did this for a bit of fun and to learn more about guitars. • American Idiot -Green ... is a video of what I was like after I had played for a year! I am aware that Billie Joe's Blue has a maple neck - all I could afford was the donor squier, paint , stickers and of course the new pick-up.

Very nice. This is probably one of the best replica BJ Strats that I’ve seen. I built a similar Strat recently with a single JB-5 and no other pickups, but I built a custom Warmoth Strat and had it built to my exact specs, it’s an amazing guitar.

@Aliber15 8 лет назад

+Venis Pagina It was a bit of trial and error, I raised the height of the humbucker as high as I could without the strings hitting it, then tried it in a few positions to get the best sound. It's slightly higher at the bottom E string than the the top e string.

Jo Jo it is best to get a cheap one because you may not like it or ever use it. Sorry I don't have any advice, I was quite lucky and got some quite good guitars from my Brother. The most common beginner guitar are Squires, so I'd start looking there!

I've never been a punk rock kid when i was growing up but i always dreamed to have a guitar that looks like this. I regret I didnt start learning the guitar being younger and have a band. I started playing on a band already in collage. Someday, I will construct a guitar like this, just for art propuses (because for some reason i love how Strats looks and sounds but i hate how they sound in my hands)
