Rig Rundown: Jared James Nichols

Badge
Video

No picks needed for this high-octane blues rocker, who keeps it simple with a single-P-90 signature Epiphone and namesake Blackstar head that doubles as his carry-on.

Nichols exclusively plugs into his signature Blackstar amplifier. The JJN-20RH MkII head usually runs into a matching Blackstar vertical 2x12 cabinet with top-tier Celestion speakers. However, when flying to a gig an unable to carry much gear, Nichols will carry the head on a flight and plug it into whatever backline cabinet is available.
