This guitar comes from the second owner who acquired it direct from Nielson. It has his trademark signature on the back, and shows plenty of checking and wear from Rick's touring with it. It is one of the very first "Prototype" models ever made and is significant asearly production ones were copied from this one.

This guitar is NOT one of the numbered limited production run, rather it is the PROTOTYPE for that run.
