Epiphone Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, Aged Pelham Blue

Keeping Blues Power Relevant for a New Generation

The Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom is the latest signature model from the Gibson Brand Ambassador and blues-rock powerhouse that hails from Les Paul’s hometown. The Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom features classic Les Paul Custom styling and cosmetic appointments and a stunning Aged Pelham Blue finish. It pairs that with brushed nickel hardware, including Grover® Locking Rotomatic® tuners and a wraparound Lightning Bar bridge for rock-solid tuning stability. A single Seymour Duncan® Silencer™ JJN P90B in the bridge position ensures righteous tone and hum-free performance, and the included EpiLite case helps keep your investment safe and secure.

What do you get when you combine soulful blues with the raw edge of rock guitar histrionics? In the words of 6-string firebrand Jared James Nichols: “Blues Power,” his self-described moniker for his idiosyncratic brand of searing blues-meets-hard-rock ferocity. The aptly titled Epiphone Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom is a tribute to that very sound, adding a whole new spin to its namesake’s “Gold Glory” signature Epiphone. This guitar’s distinctive combination of an all-mahogany body, elegant Les Paul Custom cosmetics, and a Les Paul Junior-style single-pickup, 1-piece bridge configuration mirrors “Gold Glory” model, with two dramatic differences: an Aged Pelham Blue finish and Jared’s signature Seymour Duncan JJN P-90 Silencer pickup. The result is an instrument that hits every bit as hard as Jared’s iconic Les Pauls, but with a crystal-clear, hum-free operation that allows for dirt-drenched leads and roaring tube saturation without a hint of hum.

P-90 punch without a hint of hum
Jared James Nichols’s sound is well-steeped in the blues tradition, but his hard-edged tone often ventures into serious high-gain territory — a challenge for any single-coil pickup. Luckily for high-octane players everywhere, the Epiphone Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom’s single Seymour Duncan JJN P-90 Silencer effortlessly merges all the depth and dynamism of a vintage-style P-90 pickup with an exceptionally hum-free noiseless design. From expressive cleans to all-out distortion, Sweetwater guitarists agree that you’d be hard-pressed to stump this P-90’s wide-ranging versatility. Moreover, while the JJN P-90 Silencer is undoubtedly a modern take on the P-90, it’s still a P-90.Plug in, and you’ll revel inall the clarity, bark, and harmonic richness that’s made the design a staple since the early days of electric guitar manufacturing.
