The new signature model Epiphone Jared James Nichols ‘Old Glory’ Les Paul Custom is a limited edition run and launches on Thursday during NAMM 2019.

Epiphone Jared James Nichols ‘Old Glory’ Les Paul Custom
Details on this new signature model guitar are scarce, but we know for sure it launches on Thursday. The new Epiphone Jared James Nichols ‘Old Glory’ Les Paul Custom looks, in my humble opinion, stunning!

I’m a huge fan of stripped back guitars and I love Les Paul Customs, so to see a single P9o style pickup in the bridge of a black Custom, has me salivating.


Epiphone Jared James Nichols ‘Old Glory’ Les Paul Custom – NAMM 2019 release

Old Glory
Jared is one super hot player and is known for playing Epiphone and Gibson guitars stock, just with the neck pickup removed. This new Old Glory model, just screams cool as f**k and I have a feeling it will sell really well.

Blues Power
I’m a huge fan of Epiphone guitars and love my Brent Hinds Signature Custom Flying V, especially its huge fat neck. So if this new Jared James Nichols model has a big neck, my wallet will be taking a hit.

Hardware and specifications wise we know nothing official yet, but I have found that Epiphone is using better quality hardware throughout their signature models the last few years. Just look at any of the recent Joe Bonamassa models for example.

I’m liking the wrap-around bridge and the Blues Power plaque where you would normally see a stop tail. This signature guitar looks like a stripped back tone monster and you can get a teaser of Jared playing it on his Instagram post below.

RRP -TBC

Nice!!

 

[BlackSG91]

Wow...that looks pretty awesome with just one Dog-Ear P-90 pick up! I wonder if the fret board is ebony?

I’ve been wanting a Single Pickup full-thickness LP since basically forever, so this is verrrrrryyyy intriguing to me.

 

[Supersonic]

I didn't see any pics yet, but apparently they're also coming out with
"George Thorogood – Epiphone Ltd Ed Thorogood “White Fang” ES-125TDC"

 

[AllanAnd]

Mayn, that thing is bad-ass!! Love it!

This popped into my e-mail box, but the links did not go to full-sized photos. I guess that's the Dave Rude Flying V on the left?

 

[Juke Box]

Does everybody make a flying V now?

 

[Raiyn]

Yup, even the lizard people.

One pup guitars are definitelly not for me, I liked the prototype\test "rat" look with the front empty cavity much better!

A bit of Malcolm Young style badassery.

There's an epi like that with two p90,s. That's the one I want. Withp90,s I always want 2 so if the hum gets too much in a situation, can always go to middle position and get rid of hum. But that is sweet looking.

 

[dearlpitts]

The 1955 custom is the one

this one ?

 

[Raiyn]

this one ?

Too much bling. Black out the hardware and let's talk.

 

[Paruwi]

and let's talk.

if it came with a slim-taper neck - I sure had talked months ago

 

[Brian16sg]

Oh yeah that thing sounded good!

 

[Supersonic]

It has an ebony board, Seymour Duncan P-90, COA, and case.

I wonder how much it will cost
