The Machines (click on the names to see pictures)
-My second guitar, built during the summer after my sophomore year and into my junior year of highschool. Took about 5 months to complete. It has a poplar body which is stained a bright red. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fretboard. The pickups are Lace Hemi's. Random fun fact, I ran out of money about halfway through the project, thankfully I was able to get a scholarship from LMII (these guys rock) and complete the guitar with some much needed tools and supplies!
-My third guitar project that has been going on for too long! I started this after I graduated high school and it still isn't done...no good. I'm planning on finished it this summer though, had some problems with the neck so that was the main reason for such a long delay. The top of the body is bloodwood and the back is quilted maple (its got an awesome figure). The neck is quilted maple with a piece of wendge in the middle. The fretboard is ebony and has trapezoid inlay which looks really nice.
-Pretty much my dream amp. I found an incredible deal for this online and I got it for Christmas. It outputs 45 watts per speaker and there are four speakers. It sounds beautiful. I believe I need to replace the tubes though...seeing as they're over 30 years old now. The tremolo doesn't work currently, but I'm pretty sure that's because of a broken tube. Anyways, this thing sounds absolutely beautiful.
The Rodman Nibbler II
-This is the second version of the pedal. It's a distortion pedal with a treble booster. It gets a really nice overdrive and a good crunch as well. It essentially is three pedals in one (overdrive, fuzz, and treble booster) with a crazy number of switches to make it fun and easy to use. The name actually came from the first version. The project box was originally the container of some tool called...you guessed it the rodman nibbler. The box looked sweet and the name was just priceless (well $3 actually, but pretty close to free haha.)
