Re: Rick Nelson selling some of his collection!

Thanks for the link ... that was fun to.watch.

Wonder if his 5 or 9 neck will go up. smile  Would love to see the cases for those monsters. (Trying to play 1 neck gives me enough problems! smile )

Re: Rick Nelson selling some of his collection!

Who is Rick Nelson? Is he a member of infamous 80's twin rockers/power ballad crooners Nelson? Why would I want their guitars? Are they perfect coiffed?

I met him at a garden party once. He didn't play a 5 neck guitar there though.

Re: Rick Nelson selling some of his collection!

I saw Cheap Trick in 1979 at the Florida World Music Festival, Rick Nielson was a blast! I've been a fan of his ever since.

Play some cards & drink black coffee,
How I’d love to see you smile....

Yup, Nielson.  Missing the "i" in the post title.  One letter can completely change a person!
