It offers the snarl and punch of a classic, vintage P 90, but with none of the 60 cycle hum that usually plagues traditional singlecoil pickups.

With a few adjustments, Gibsons engineers were then able to secure the vintage sonic characteristics of the singlecoil, making the H 90 another example of Gibsons drive to stay one step ahead. 60s Slim Taper Neck Profile No guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today.

Like the majority of Gibsons classic guitars, the neck of the Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior is set into the bodys neck cavity using glue, which ensures a wood to wood contact, no air
