Epiphone has teamed up with blues-rock guitar hero Jared James Nichols for a new signature guitar, the “Gold Glory” Les Paul Custom.
A limited-edition version of Nichols's first signature Epiphone Les Paul – the "Old Glory" Les Paul Custom (opens in new tab) – the "Gold Glory" features a '55-style Les Paul Custom body outfitted with a striking, aged Double Gold finish.
Like its Black-finished predecessor, the Gold Glory features a single Seymour Duncan P-90 Dogear bridge pickup – with individual volume and tone knobs – a mahogany neck boasting an ebony fingerboard with traditional block inlays, and Grover Rotomatic tuners.
"’Gold Glory’ is an icon of a guitar,” Nichols said in a press release. “Between the beauty of the tone, and glitter of the gold, it is breathtaking and bold. It’s simplistic, and powerful, a complete classic, yet rooted in today.
"I am honored to continue my ‘Glory Days’ with this incredible new signature model. I cannot wait to get this guitar out into the world and into the hands of players looking to find their own unique voice. Simply put, ‘Gold Glory’ inspires me to play, create, and perform at my very best."
The Epiphone Jared James Nichols “Gold Glory” Les Paul Custom is available now – with an EpiLite case included – for $699.
