Bruce springsteen guitar rig free#
(Clue one of his little friends bit the end off of a woman's finger when she tried to free him from a chain link fence). His father/uncle is about 90 cm and keeps my cat on her toes when she crosses its path.īUT I WILL CONCEDE Raced that I would not want one of these guys (from my local park) in my backyard. (This is not my tenant as I have not gotten a photo of him yet but he is the same size). The Blue tongue is also a lovely fella and welcome in my yard because it also cleans up bugs. I did wonder which of you - the lizard or the Irishman - would have moved faster in that moment!!! While its been Morellos most used guitar since his pre-Rage Against the. And Raced you would love them because they eat the other little Australian insects like the freaking mozzies who consider my blood champagne!!!!!Ĭan I also say that I thought of you when I went to put my clothes on the line the other day and one of the baby Blue Tongue Lizards (only about 20-25 cms) scuttled away. performing frequently with Bruce Springsteen and appearing on talk shows. We do have a couple of vicious little bastards ( and I have had a boss nearly die from Funnel Web bite) but we also have these little beauties (this one is from my home). You are deeply confused about our spiders. In the Born In The USA track I’m On Fire, the arpeggiated guitar line plays the E5 power chord with an additional B note on the 4th fret of the G. *except for Australian spiders, vicious little bastards, the lot of 'em Raced Off The Street you poor lad.
“I’ve held it aloft to the audience on thousands and thousands and thousands of nights, I suppose with the idea that it says something about the power of rock and roll and the power of us.A very very warm welcome to the site, and thank you for sharing. Be assured, just like spiders*, we're much more afraid of you than you are of us. “For me, when I put it on, I don’t feel like I have a guitar on. “It still is unique amongst all my guitars the way it sounds,” Springsteen said in that Hall of Fame interview. Truly, this Esquire/Tele mutt is a one-of-a-kind piece. Of course, it does come out for special occasions, like the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show in 2009. Unfortunately, he retired the Esquire from road duty, so these days Springsteen plays clones on stage, even if he still records with the original. Springsteen has used many guitars throughout his lustrous career, but he always seems to come back to his old faithful. I was playing something that was tilting more to soul music, and so I wanted a guitar that could handle the funk and that feeling.”īoasting a Telecaster body and Esquire neck, the guitar had already undergone significant modifications by the time it landed in Springsteen’s hands (for $180!).Īs the story goes, it was originally owned by a record company and rigged with four pickups that could all be plugged into the sound board-giving session players the ability to earn four times what they typically would with four different versions of a guitar track.Īs such, there was a generous amount of wood routed out from under the pickguard, which made the guitar much lighter and perfect for “The Boss’” epic concerts.Īfter the Springsteen bought it, Petillo added hot-wound single-coil pickups and his patented Petillo Precision Frets, which were triangular, in addition to a titanium six-saddle bridge. I wasn’t playing heavy rock and roll anymore. (It was)a guitar that was a good mixture for playing soul music a la Steve Cropper and James Burton, and they were also good for rock music like Jeff Beck. “I picked one up somewhere along the way, and Jeff Beck was one of my great guitar heroes and I think Pete Townshend played one in the Who also for a while. “I wanted a Telecaster because I had played a Telecaster when I was younger,” Springsteen said in an interview with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
