Just ordered: Epiphone JJN Gold Glory - I think these are rad

[EscapedTexan]

Proud new (pre-ordered) owner of an Epiphone JJN Gold Glory Les Paul Custom Double Gold. Will post pics when she arrives. Anyone else looking at these, or have experience with the black JJN Old Glory's epi did a year or so ago? I hope the quality is decent. Just saw this and thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Basically a Junior with a carved top. No reason not to be as cool.

That”s about the only single pickup Les Paul I’ve seen that doesn’t look weird to me. In fact, I find it oddly fetching. Hmmm.

I thought I wanted one, now I'm not so sure. If L&M gets one I'll have a look, for sure.

Yeah, that's the same feeling I got.

It's more or less a fat-bodied Junior. I do like the finish, though.

A single pickup and two knobs are about the only thing that resembles a junior on this one. Otherwise, it has a lot more of the characteristics of a Custom. Triple binding on a carved top, diamond inlay on a bound headstock, ebony fretboard. That’s a Seymour Duncan pickup, too. I think this guitar is positively smokin’.

Nice! I think this one’s a home run. Really digging it.

I found mine in the wild.

FYI it’s more like a Les Paul with a p90 than a fat junior. It has the body of Custom and feel zero like a junior to me.

I've never seen a Wraparound set that high. I hope those studs are set in solid,

I imagine it’s the angle. It’s no more than any other stop tail guitar in my experience.

All of my wraparound bridges are at the very most one or two thread width high, about ¼ of yours. But if your action is good, no worries I guess.
