Developing Rick Nielsen's Famous Fiveneck Miniature Guitars

Axe Heaven is currently working with Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick http://www.cheaptrick.com/ to develop his signature Fiveneck Checkered miniature Guitar and Fiveneck Orange "Monster" miniature Guitar. It has been a great experience working with Rick and he never seems to amaze us with his creative ideas.
