| Mansfield, Ma Comcast Center June 30th, 2009 Today, we made the trek down to Mansfield, Ma for the Cheap Trick/Poison/Def Leppard Show to deliver 2 Korina Carlino guitars to Rick Nielsen. We made him an Identity and an Impulse, both of which were relic'd. Rick wanted people to think he'd been a fan of mine for 30 years... Very fine compliment if you ask me... Using Korina wood in these guitars was the most important factor in the construction. I knew they'd have tone, I didn't think it would have THAT much tone. The guitars resonated more than any other guitar I have built to this date. I couldn't believe a chord could last an average of 22 seconds acoustically on these guitars, that's what we timed it at, an open A chord... The relicing process, done by the Guitar Mill in Tennessee, great bunch of guys by the way, Thank you Gavin and Mario BTW,... was done in a fashion to do what it says, make em look old... And it was accomplished, right down to the rust on the tuner bushings. Rick wanted these two guitars to fit in with the rest of his character-laden instruments and they do. We delivered them backstage to Rick who showed up just when i did. We got full working passes which allowed us access everywhere. No one asked a question, or even said who are you? They were all great. Rick's hospitality was that of a host at his house. He showed us around, showed us his guitars, his trailer, the dozens of high end and vintage axes that he brought on this tour. I believe he brought 50 this time from his 5 neck Hamer, to his Uncle Dick model, to that fantastic checkerboard Hamer Explorer and some older Les Pauls that were smoking. There was a story behind each one and it was fascinating. Not once did he treat us like a fan, we were there delivering a tool for him for that night. A tool that he needed to complete his show. He asked a couple questions about the guitars and we decided he'd use the Identity Korina that night. Doing some research, I had already set up the guitar with Dean Markley 11-48's to his liking and his tech just did a final tweak to get it where he liked it and it was ready to go. Attached some Schaller Straplocks and his signature checkerboard strap and he was ready to go. The guitar tech, a nice guy as well, took the guitar for a spin on stage and lit up the arena with some power chords...it sounded amazing through 10,000 front of house watts screaming across 13,000 seats. I was in heaven. From the minute I opened the case and saw Rick's face, (it's the Korina, he's crazy about it) to the time I heard those first chords ring out over the empty stadium seats, (well a few were filled), I was in awe. Even the guys in Def Leppard, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell looked over. Nice guys as well, very polite when i said hello to them as well. By the way, whoever thinks that some stars show up 10 minutes before the show, pick up a guitar and then leave, are wrong. Def Leppard showed up when I showed up, and were very instrumental in making sure the sound was what they wanted. From Joe Elliott standing at the end of the catwalk, directing the balance from the left to right levels correctly to Phil and Vivian trading A-chord strains until their volumes were even, these guys care about how they're going to sound and they were there, 6 hours before their start time. Back to Rick, with the setups on both guitars done, we took pictures of them amongst his other guitars, slated for their roles that night. The set list was written out, about 8 songs, all hits and two new ones from their new CD. Rick's tech had specific guitars written next to the song names and I guessed where my Identity was going to be slated and i was right, right smack in the middle of the set. For picture taking purposes, we worked it out with his tour manager and stage manager and Def Leppard's tour manager about when would be the right time to take the pics. We wanted them on stage in front of his stage gear. After a short battle of the minds, I won, I guess it was the Italian..... :o) Rick calls me Carlito, funny guy cause I spelled his named wrong once at first he'll never let it sit... He's gotta be the nicest guy in rock and roll, a true guitar hero without the cape he's down to earth, funny and just a killer rock guitarist. Just a short 5 minutes before Cheap Trick was to take the stage, Rick came barrelling out of the dressing room..."Ok Carlino Let's go, where's the guitar? I handed him the guitar, myself and my friend Jimmy , a photographer went out on stage, the crowd went nuts. Rick, dressed in a magenta linen suit and a white shirt with his Cheap Trick bow tie, greeted the audience with huge power chords that turned into the intro for "Won't Get Fooled Again", by The Who. Each chord ripped out of his stack of Gibson Goldtone Checkerboard Amplifiers and the photographer snapped while he posed in classic rock form. It was fantastic. We got 6 or 7 great shots on stage, 5 minutes before show time, I was in Heaven. I had waited for this day since the 7th grade when I was designing guitars in high school dreaming of the day someone would play my guitars up on stage. I built my first guitar in high school at age 16, finishing it senior year. It was BC Rich Mockingbird Replica, with flamed maple body sides, right down to the cloud pearl inlays. I got an "A" for that guitar I still have it too, I will never sell it. I felt the same way that day that I did this past Tuesday when Rick Nielsen played my guitar I built for him on stage that night. It was unbelievable, I don't think Rick knows what he did for me that day but the chill that ran up my spine, I don't think I will ever top again. Thank You Very Much Rick Your friend, Eddie Carlino |
