Guitar Project
Skilled in carpentry and music, Miles Nichols recently completed his first hand crafted electric guitar which you can hear him play in his video.
Strat style body (poplar & knotty pine) w/ maple Tele neck & Gibson hardware with Danish oil/laquer finish. He fitted it with two humbuckers and an Oak five-way switch for coil-splitting. The project took about two weeks to put together and cost under $125.00.
Led Zeppelin melody on a '76 Les Paul Deluxe
Here is Miles playing some Zeppelin riffs on his vintage Les Paul through an old tube PA head converted to a guitar amp. The amp is rated at 35w and it is driving a 2 x 12" Marshall cab. Couldn't really crank it too much considering it would overload the camera's mic input so he pushed the front end of the amp with an Ibanez tube screamer. tyrantsend1
