Nichols Custom Guitars is a small-batch electric guitar shop founded by Todd Nichols, the longtime guitarist for Toad The Wet Sprocket. Based in Santa Barbara, California, Todd builds guitars between tours, focusing on lightweight, road-ready instruments assembled from hand-selected boutique components.

The shop specializes in Fender-style "partscaster" builds — Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Jazzmaster/Jaguar-style guitars assembled around Musikraft and Wildwood bodies and necks, paired with pickups from TV Jones and Seymour Duncan and hardware from makers such as Mastery, Callaham, and Staytrem. Finishes range from heavier vintage-style relics to cleaner nitro options, and the catalog rotates through small runs of completed guitars alongside fully custom orders.

Todd plays his own builds exclusively onstage with Toad The Wet Sprocket, and the shop has built up a following among players looking for tour-tested S-style and T-style instruments outside of the major custom shops.

Nichols Custom has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Todd Nichols.
