Idol ~ Guitars

 


This is Idols main axe on-stage.
 

The Gibson Les Paul  jr.  probably a 57 jr.....
Obviously Billy's favorite since he uses it all the time .  This guitar is decorated with Billy's custom stickers ,
" S O B"  and a karate  sticker from the style Elvis practiced .
 
 

Note the head of the guitar with Billy's name on the plate
 
 


 

Here are two pics with the Les Paul jr. before the custom stickers ...
 

 
 

This guitar of Billy's is the Gibson Everly Brothers re-issue.
 
 
 
 

This guitar was used in the Sweet 16 video and in concert for the same song ,  a  classic  with the star fret inlays....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A  Gibson Les Paul custom with the confederate flag painted  on it .  Used during the Rebel Yell Tour.

 


 

Billy's  Epiphone strat copy from the early 60's.
One of his first  , used
a lot  because of the horrible sound he gets out of it , as he describes it in his MTV interview with Martha Quinn on the 2nd pressing of "Don't Stop".
