CHEAP TRICK's RICK NIELSEN Enters The Digital Collectibles Market With A Laser Scan Of His Original 1978 Checkerboard Explorer

Rick Nielsen, famed guitarist of Cheap Trick and guitar collector, has entered into the digital collectibles world with the inaugural release of a series centered around his iconic black and yellow 1978 Checkerboard Hamer guitar.

Rick partnered with technology company The Mothership Technologies to create and sell this series.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with Rick on this project. Our focus is on taking real-world objects of value and scarcity and authentically producing a digital twin; a three-dimensional version of the original with all its features intact - scratches, dents and all. People want the history - not a pristine rendition.” comments Scott Lawrence, CEO of The Mothership Technologies.

The most unique version of this collectible is a hologram delivered inside a very special physical holographic picture frame developed by a company in New York called The Looking Glass Factory. This is the perfect way to display and show off 3D collectibles.

Rick is one of the most prolific guitar collectors on the planet, with hundreds of amazing instruments. The goal of the Mothership Technologies is to curate, alongside Rick, a series of his favorites, and make more twins for people to own - because he’s not going to be selling the originals anytime soon!

People can explore what will become available on December 15 on The Mothership Technologies’ marketplace called The Victory Collection, here.
