Rig Rundown: Jared James Nichols

Badge
Video

No picks needed for this high-octane blues rocker, who keeps it simple with a single-P-90 signature Epiphone and namesake Blackstar head that doubles as his carry-on.

“Red” is a late 1953 Les Paul Standard that came to Jared via Charlie Daughtry, owner of the Les Paul Forum. This former goldtop was over-sprayed Dakota Red decades ago. Besides a fret job and paint, everything is completely original.
