Hey buddy, I am happy to see you getting the guitar. I'm a self taught player,as well,52 years old. My Dad got me one when I was 9. Years later I got back into it, my Son wanted one,so that journey began

Just got mine as well. Green Day also got me into playing back when Dookie dropped. Even though I've moved past punk and into metal, I had to get this to honor my roots. Enjoy it man, its a kickass guitar.

I just got the Epiphone ‘61 reissue. I love my Epiphones!

Got mine a couple of months ago. Forget how it looks for a minute if you can, it plays like a complete beast! Love it to bits!

Same hereee dude Ima hugeee Green Day fan. I finally bought myself a guitar last year and been teaching myself a ton of Green Day songs. Also, that symbol on the case is from Warning, I believe :) Congrats on purchasing that beauty, man! As a Green Day fan, I can imagine how ecstatic you’re feeling owning this! May you play with all the raw energy and passion in the world 🤘🏽🔥

It’s you throwing the scissors for me 😂😂😂…Great video friend!

You're home made blue is spot on. Awesome job, love the new guitar too. Great video.

Congratulations!!! That is a sweet axe Man looking forward to the demo!!!

Book?!?! Ah, before KZfaq, of course🤣 Cool story, fun guitar.

Really love this video and always love to find another Green Day fanatic! Keep up the good work 🤘

I got one of these too and its so cool! so much fun to play and so cool looking!

Gorgeous guitar, enjoy!!!

Can't wait to get mine ! Enjoy yours dude !

Your "Blue" replica is cool maybe do a demo of it for your next video?

I'm planning to order one very soon. I've been a Green Day fanatic since the Dookie era.

Looks great! Definitely want one👍

Nice video I got mine from Sweetwater couple weeks ago I love mine and I just subscribed to your channel thank you

It’s a great guitar and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one because I had to order in advance . They were completely sold out before they reached the shops here . Just after I got it was the Hella Mega Tour and I was lucky enough to locate where they staying and got their autographs on the body of it while having a good chat with them 👍

So cool! Dig your back story! Green Day got me into playing guitar too. I just got my BJA LP Jr. it’s awesome!

Loved the unboxing vid and your story. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of you guitar vids. Btw I recently became a P90 convert with my first Gibson a Tribute Special model.

Enjoy it! 😎 thanks for making the video

great story dude... I'm a big Epiphone fan too. Keep rockin bro!

Oh dude, congratulations! I’m rocking a Squire Jim Root Tele so I’m digging the simplicity of it all. Rock in good health my man!

The reason I have a les paul junior, and started on a stratocaster is because of Green Day. Im past alot of there new music, but i will always say their the ones that made me want to play a guitar and be in a band in the first place.

Enjoy that axe bro! It’s always great to see people smitten over a guitar.

Awesome guitar bro!

Ayyy my initials are also JC. Congrats on the guitar! I’ll probably get one when it comes back in stock

You made the right choice. The case is worth about 200 with the inside print

Dope guitar 🎸

Love your story man, Green day got me into guitar too at the time. That guitar though especially the case holy smokes it's nice, really debating if I should get one ( probably have too much already lol)

Mine is shipping out this Monday!! Hopefully will arrive by next Friday..The latest!! I got started when John Lennon slammed that first note back in February of 64' on Ed Sullivan..There was no turning back!

Sweet guitar mate, I'm in the u.k, just ordered the same guitar but they are on back order so might not get mine for several months 😭

ANY Les Paul Jr. is a great guitar to own !! Their simplicity will induce creativity with volume control, pick position and pick attack to create some dynamics in your playing when playing any leads.

Damn that case is beautiful.

Sweet guitar man wanna hear you bang out some Greenday songs in part 2

Case be pimpin'.

5:06 That logo is not from American Idiot era. It’s from Warning which was released in 2000, 4 years before the American Idiot album.

Cool guitar, hope you are happy with it. Epiphone has been putting out some great value for $$ guitars, that actually increase in resale value.

that logo is from the warning era

nice guitar J what is the neck? kinda 50's chunky?

Am really keen however are we paying premium for the name cause it seems like just a junior lp

I love this, love the enthusiasm! I am a huge Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong fan so I will definitely be picking this up! Green Day IS my favorite band and really the one that got me into music so heavily today. Awesome video

Hey man nice blue guitar. Did you make it on your own or did you get it from bjguitars?

unusuaal job =))

Price???

looks good dude, how is it feeling? debating getting one

I’m very hot and bothered by this guitar
