Watch as Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick talks about one of his most famous guitars, the 5 neck electric guitar.

In this clip from Gibson TV's The Collection, Cheap Trick guitarist and musical icon Rick Nielsen opens up his personal guitar collection to Mark Agnesi and talks about his iconic 5 neck guitar - which is actually his B-rig guitar - the checkerboard 5 neck guitar Rick Nielsen uses is still out on tour with him!

When it comes to guitar collections, some are so big, so weird and so rare that even the best collectors can’t help but do a double take. This is how you would define Rick Nielsen’s collection - a total showstopper.

In the full episode of “The Collection,” host Mark Agnesi heads to Rockford, IL to visit the godfather of guitar hoarding. Rick Nielsen, lead guitarist for Cheap Trick, takes us through his guitar cave. From weird and wacky to the rare and one of a kind.

And in a “The Collection” first, Rick shows us three original 1958 Explorers out of nineteen in existence. He also showcases some extremely rare 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitars with incredible stories and shares how he made his own modifications to them. While Rick’s guitar collection is better than most, what’s amazing is his lack of regard for “value” in a world of collectors and purists. In Rick’s world the guitar belongs to him and how shiny the guitar is doesn’t matter. His love for guitars and the guitar world is evident as he’s still adding to the vault.
