Epiphone Jared James Nichols Gold Glory Les Paul Custom Review

Amazing Guitar!

I ordered Gold Glory on Christmas 2021 and was sad when I found out Sweetwater would not receive any until June... Well, It's May 31st and I received notice that my credit card had been charged. BOOM! Later that day my sales rep Christian called to let me know that Gold Glory was in stock and he had pictures of the one I was to get. He informed me that it was late in the day… read more and that she would most likely ship out the next day. I was shocked when I received notice the next morning that the guitar was "out for delivery". The folks at Sweetwater do an amazing job and Fedex is insane... Fort Wayne to Pittsburgh in record time. Thanks to all! Now, on to the the guitar itself. She is a beauty. Epiphone does a tremendous job with QC. Not a flaw on it. Granted, the Chinese don't know how to string a guitar but I quickly remedied that with a set of DR Veritas strings that JJN plays. Stays in tune great thanks to the Grover tuners. I also bumped the pole pieces a little closer to the strings for more output and adjusted the action to my liking. What a great guitar that drips with "Blues Mojo". Thanks Christian, Thanks Sweetwater and especially thanks to Jared for such a cool guitar. No. 30 of my collection.

Epiphone Gold Glory

I have had this guitar for a few days and really am pleased with the quality, feel, and tone. The paint is stunning and flawless on mine, the fretwork is very clean, the electronics don't have any scratchiness at all. The pots function really well to change up the tone and amount of grit. The volume knob allows for a totally clean tone and then gradually turn it up to go to full… read more growl if you have your amp set for that. I play Gibson's and American Fenders a lot and this one is right at home. Very impressed by Epiphone, Jared James Nichols, Seymour Duncan, and everyone involved in creating this. The Epi case is very well made and protective also. The whole package is a huge value. This is my first time buying a guitar from Sweetwater and it will NOT be my last. This company's customer service is just fantastic.

This thing is a beast! Chunky smooth neck with tone for days! I preordered and have been anticipating its arrival for a couple months. It did not disappoint. My sales rep Ryan Clapper is amazing by the way he updated and informed me throughout the entire process. I usually buy local but inventory has been wiped out at all local shops here in San Antonio and surrounding areas. I… read more purchase everything through Sweetwater now and have never been happier. They have everything triple checked and signed off on with their 55 point inspection and the set ups on my guitars are always spot on. BUY THIS GUITAR!

Fantastic playing and sounding guitar, but a few small QC issues

The guitar plays absolutely flawlessly, and the single P90 screams. It nails that classic rock crunch tone. The body and finish are gorgeous, and the big fat neck is a joy to play.My only gripes are a few small QC issues. The nut is very roughly cut. I will be replacing that asap. Other than that, the edge of where the binding on the neck and body meet the gold paint isn't always… read more the cleanest. There are spots where the paint is on the binding, and others where you can see the paint lines aren't very clean. These are all minor things, and I expect them with a Chinese made guitar.
