Jared James Nichols Gold Glory : Best Epiphone I've ever played

3 years ago

Out of the box it is an amazing guitar

Setup:

Spot on except the action was higher than my liking, I lowered the bridge a bit and it's perfect. Truss rod didn't need adjustment, nut cut well, no fret buzz and no sharp edges at all.

Sound:

Single P-90 power, the Seymour Duncan in this sounds killer, from cleans to crunch. I don't miss the neck pickup. Played it through an Orange Dark terror and still sounded great, humming was minimal considering it's a single coil pickups.

Sound is bright, articulate, with the a dynamic range you would expect from a p-90. Cleans up when playing softly and distorts when you hit the strings hard.

Fit and finish:

The gold color looks much better in person than in pictures. It's a matt finish that's rough to the touch. Looks amazing.

Features:

Single pickup = rock and roll.

Fat 50s neck that I personally enjoy. It's thicker than my 59 Epiphone Lazarus. Ebony fingerboard looks amazing, tuners are smooth and hold tune well.

Cons:

No fret markers after the 15th fret had me guessing where to play, guess I have to get used to it.
