I got to strum it at Giants Stadium when I hit the pit lottery. Naïve me thought I could just put my hand up and touch the strings at will when he came to the edge and presented it. I forgot that there'd be a crush of people behind me reaching over my head and pushing me down. Did manage to get my hand on the strings, would not call it strumming. Don't know if same one, the original is locked away, I think he has had made a number of look-alikes.

Did they ever say how it came to have the Esquire neck on it? I always assumed it was just a bad repair, but maybe there is a comfort reason for Bruce. Also, old guitar shop owners are great to talk to. If they have been around a long time, they all have met pros who came in for this or that. Sure, the stories are usually embellished a bit, but that's part of the fun.

I'm 16, I have a telecaster because of Bruce, it's a knockoff but same colour and stuff, he's the reason I listen to music and sing and play, the reason I write and love music with a passion, and I won't stop because of him, I will be on stage with some of the biggest stars, that's not being big headed or cocky, I'm believing in myself

“Well I got this guitar, and I learned how to make it talk” Just about any Tele makes me think of Springsteen’s iconic Telecaster/Esquire, and especially of that perfect lyric from _Thunder Road_

Hail the legend, my dad introduced you to me. I love Graceland. That guitar is surely the best investment ever!

Thank you Stephen ... my love for The Boss runs very deep. An ageless renegade! 💝

Im 32 old Brazilian dude. I witnessed that guitar live in 2013 in São Paulo. The Boss chame very close to me. THe Best show Ive been in my life, one of the best nights and best memories I have, Ive been a Boss fan for a longtime. God bless everyone!

The moment Bruce held the Telecaster in his hand, time stopped and the magic was there. He doesn't even need to play. What a legend.

Just seeing that piece of legendary equipment gives me chills... Historic.

I was hoping that Tele from that album cover would re-emerge somewhere. What an icon, both of them. It's why I play a Tele to this very day.👍🎸

Damn fine choice! My other 2 up there are Brilliant Disguise and Badlands.

I own two Telecasters: a 2005 American Highway One Tele with a C-neck and rosewood fretboard, and a Custom Shop Tele with a channel bound neck. Both are easily the best necks I’ve ever played. I also love the body style. Both my Telecasters have alder bodies, and are the same weight, so I am very comfortable with them. Then there’s the tone. My Highway One Tele has a really unique tone since it has a high output pickup in the bridge. The Custom Shop Tele has a really nice full tone thanks to the Humbucker in the Neck position, but still maintains that classic sound with the bridge single coil. I swear that the Telecaster is probably the most versatile guitar ever made. Between the standard pickups, Nashville with the Strat Middle Pickup, or the custom and deluxe models with different combinations with humbuckers, the Telecaster really can achieve pretty much any tone you want.

love it still hes the piezzo input on it!!!
