In Episode 26 of the No Cover Charge Podcast, Tyler Larson and Jared James Nichols recap their wild trip to the NAMM Show: 6 a.m. flights, surprise jam sessions, insane vintage guitars, creator run-ins, booth takeovers, and some of the most unhinged (and hilarious) moments we’ve had yet.

We jammed our way through California, from LA to Anaheim, and ended up running into YouTube heavyweights, testing bizarre gear, and filming a mini acoustic episode in the creator lounge with @ChrisBuckGuitar and @ArielPosen — this episode captures the beautiful, disjointed madness that is NAMM week.

What happens when Dweezil Zappa opens the vault? 🤯 In Episode 25 of The No Cover Charge Podcast, Tyler Larson and Jared James Nichols step inside Dweezil’s studio to explore his wildest, weirdest, one-of-one guitars — including a half-fretless SG experiment, microtonal monsters, the heavily-modded "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar" Les Paul from Frank Zappa, and the Kramer gifted to him by Eddie Van Halen himself.

From microtonal fretboards and built-in sustain systems to a bizarre Peavey amp designed like an Aston Martin dashboard, this episode is a deep dive into experimental guitar design, tone shaping, feedback control, and the creative mind of a true innovator.

If you love rare guitars, boutique gear, Zappa history, and next-level tone experiments — this one’s for you.
