Epiphone announces the new Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom, available worldwide now via epiphone.com.
The Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom is the third signature model from the blues-rock powerhouse and Gibson Brand Ambassador who hails from Les Paul’s hometown of Waukesha, Wisconsin. The Jared James Nichols “Blues Power” Les Paul Custom features classic Les Paul Custom styling and cosmetic appointments, in a stunning Aged Pelham Blue finish and pairs with the brushed nickel hardware, including Grover Locking Rotomatic tuners and a wraparound Lightning Bar bridge for rock-solid tuning stability. A single Seymour Duncan Jared James Nichols Signature JJN P90 Silencer in the bridge position ensures righteous tone and hum-free performance, and the included EpiLite soft guitar case helps keep this standout guitar safe and secure.
In celebration of the release of his new Epiphone Les Paul “Blues Power” guitar, Jared James Nichols will perform a special free show and release party at Sweetwater Music in Ft. Wayne, IN on November 14th. Additional in-store shows include Chicago Music Exchange in Chicago, IL on November 15th, Cream City Music in Brookfield, WI on November 16th, Dave’s Guitar in Madison, WI on November 20th, and Moore Guitars in Evansville, IN on Black Friday on November 24th. Southern Rock artist Cage Willis will join Jared for the tour.
“Blues Power is my third signature Epiphone, and it has completely raised the bar,” says Nichols. “Besides being a visually stunning instrument, the tone and playability are next level. This guitar is an inspiration. I cannot wait to unleash Blues Power on the world.”
Jared James Nichols is currently in the midst of a fall tour in support of his latest self-titled studio album, Jared James Nichols available via Black Hill Records. The new album was recorded live at Blackbird Studios in Nashville with nothing more than a Gibson Les Paul slung over Jared’s shoulder, a warm amp turned all the way up, and a hot microphone on and ready. Jared churns out the kind of rock that rips, roars, and rolls without filter or apology. Standing at a staggering 6 foot 5 inches tall, Jared delivers a one-two punch of gritty vocals straight from the gut and incendiary fret fireworks. The album, produced engineered and mixed by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Slash, Rival Sons), marks the third full-length offering from the Nashville-based multi-talent and the truest representation of his authentic rock and blues-inspired sound.
