Epiphone, the leading accessible guitar brand For Every Stage, is proud to release the new Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer in Galaktikon Burst. The GhostHorse Explorer is created by Brendon Small--musician, writer, showrunner, director, actor, and mastermind behind the massive metal band Dethklok and the Adult Swim animated TV series "Metalocalypse"--and the luthiers at Epiphone in Nashville, TN. The Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer is available worldwide now at epiphone.com.
Designed by metal legend Brendon Small, the Epiphone GhostHorse Explorer electric guitar is a modified Explorer body shape with a deep cutaway, created in a custom Galaktikon Burst gloss finish. The GhostHorse Explorer features a figured maple top, a matte Ebony finished back, sides, and neck, a Floyd Rose tremolo system, and is powered by Gibson USA BurstBucker pickups. The fast-playing SlimTaper neck features a contoured heel joint for outstanding upper fret access, a bound Ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets, Grover Mini Rotomatic 18:1 tuners, and an Icarus spaceship medallion is on the back of the headstock, as well as the 12th fret.
The Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer marks Brendon's third collaboration with the luthiers at Epiphone and follows the Thunderhorse Explorer and the Snow Falcon Flying V. "I am so excited to finally put out the GhostHorse," says Brendon Small. "It's my most played guitar and so very expressive. It's just nice having another Horse in the family." Brendan Small wrote, directed, and composed the new song and video titled "GhostHorse," all while performing on his new Epiphone GhostHorse Explorer.

Jared James Nichols “Old Glory” Les Paul Custom
The Jared James Nichols “Old Glory” Les Paul Custom is the premier signature model by the rising star from Les Paul’s hometown. Nichols says, "I've always been drawn to the sound of the Les Paul™ Junior and the feel of a Les Paul Custom. Since there wasn't a model like that available, I modified my own Les Paul Custom. After playing the first lick on this guitar, it was so gratifying and humbling, I was so inspired to play and share my music with the world." Jared James Nichols’ “Old Glory” features a classic 1955-style Les Paul Custom body with a single Seymour Duncan® P-90 pickup, an ebony fingerboard with traditional block inlays, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, and EpiLite™ case.
