Rick Nielsen memorabilia auction results
Overview
Rick Nielsen, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and guitarist for Cheap Trick, auctioned over 300 personal items through Julien’s Auctions on October 24 at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum in Nashville. The sale was intended to reduce Nielsen’s massive collection of over 2,000 instruments to approximately 600 items.
The auction featured several high-value pieces, most notably a custom 2004 Hamer five-neck guitar that sold for $313,600, far exceeding its estimated value of $175,000 to $200,000. Other significant sales included a 1975 Hamer guitar for $256,000, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird for $76,800, and a custom sweater from the ‘One on One’ album cover which fetched $6,400.
Also sold was a black rubberized overcoat famously urinated on by Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx during a 1986 performance at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, which sold for $5,760. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, an organization Nielsen selected due to its “meaningful work” in treating childhood cancer.
