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.
