radio interviews Rick Nielsen from Cincinnati

The Chris & Rob Late Night Talk Show in Cincinnati on WAIF fm had Rick Nielsen on a couple times. Heres the archive links. These go back to the 90s and the discussion of the Steve Albini sessions is interesting. The first one has his son at Miami University (OH)

There’s a local on FB Marketplace that is apparently selling a 1981 Fender Lead 1 guitar that was owned by Rick himself

From the description:

“I purchased this super cool road worn Fender Lead 1 about ten years ago directly from the rock hall of fame guitar legend, Rick Nielsen. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity signed by Rick himself.

It’s a 1981 US made Fender Lead 1 with coil split switch and series/parallel switch. Check out the gorgeous birds eye maple neck!

Includes finish checking, chips, and other blemishes you would expect from a guitar that’s been played a lot. Very naturally relic’d.

I cleaned it lightly, put new strings on it, and tested it out. Works and plays like it should. Just an awesome piece all the way around!

Comes with Fender hard case, strap, original strings, and paperwork.

No trade offers please. Cash or Venmo only. 🙂”
