features
*Neck Species*
The neck of the Billie Joe Armstrong J-180 is constructed from one solid piece of quarter-sawn, lightweight mahogany. The luthiers in Gibson’s Montana plant carefully select the grain orientation of the mahogany used for necks to optimize tone and sustain.

*Headstock Angle (Pitch)*
Like many classic Gibson models, the Billie Joe Armstrong J-180’s headstock is carefully angled at Gibson’s traditional 17 degrees. This subtle yet crucial element of the guitar’s design increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain.

*Fingerboard Species*
The Billie Joe Armstrong J-180’s bound fingerboard is made from a choice piece of Indian rosewood, one of the most classic woods for use in this part of an acoustic guitar.

*Fret*
The guitars 20 frets (14 clear of the body) are made from Gibson Montana’s standard fret wire, a medium-jumbo wire made from a nickel alloy for excellent tonal clarity.
