Epifirst: Old Glory (4)

This is my main beef with the Epiphone Old Glory; that Blues Power label there serves absolutely no purpose in terms of functionality, let alone tone appeal. When Jared Nichols ripped out the hard tail bridge of his LP Custom, he used that label to cover unsightly holes in the body. It is replicated onto the Epiphone version for sentimentality's sake, a reminder of that decision he made back then which liberated his playing technique somewhat. Since this guitar is officially known as the Old Glory, an Old Glory label would have made more sense here. Then again, this is a signature model to begin with, such quirks are dictated by the endorser. Now you know why I dislike signature guitars.

As this is now my guitar, I have decided to remove that redundant label. The screw cavities were dealt with by having black screws in there which thankfully made it look flushed (at least from the  distance). I did away with the plastic knobs as well, these knurled chrome pair complemented the chrome bridge & chrome tuners over at the headstock.
