I saw that guitar in person at the Met a couple years ago, along with Clarence's sax. It was like looking at Excalibur.
Yes I saw that guitar also at the Met Museum in NYC on the last day of the 6 month show. It looked pretty worn out.

This is the genius of The Boss, if you can remember that far proves you are immortal.
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.
What's the big deal about that guitar? Was it Elvis's??
This man must live forever.
Even with all his fame and success, I really think many people under rate him. It could be regional, for sure. But I think he is a legend.
@@Tijuanabill I have been a giant fan for a long time and over the years you realize there are many who simply don't appreciate the greatness.
I love the guitar receiving the applause it deserves.
I am a tele owner, and they are basically two pickups stuck on a chunk of wood; bludgeons made into things of peace. The only guitar you will ever need.
Truer words never spoken
Very true I have a Fender player tele in white plays great. Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, & Jimmy Page’s mirror tele (fyi: jp’s mirror & dragon same tele) inspired me to get my own.
I agree 100%
@Marky J ssshhh, tele owners need reassurance for their purchase justification
I love the truth of what Bruce was saying about the guitar being an extension of his body and the fact that he immediately proved it by rubbing it all over his mic! LOL, perfect.
👍🏾
HahA 'LOL'
Telecasters are virtually indestructible. I’ve always been fascinated by Springsteen’s.
The body is a Telecaster, but the neck is a Fender Esquire from the 50s. Like Bruce said, it's a mutt.
“Telecasters are virtually indestructible”
Mike McCready: Hold my Gatorade!
Just ordered one. It is a classic guitar icon.
@@goldenultra same same. Hopefully arrives this week.
That's basically the idea of Leo Fender in a nutshell 😋
I think he drinks from Ringo's fountain of youth. Dudes look 25 years younger than their real age.
If he didn't dye his hair he'd look every bit of his 72 years.
@@dr.loomis4221 Bruce lives a clean lifestyle, so the grey hair is irrelevant. There are many people who grey prematurely in their 20s and 30s. The Boss is a great guy who has given us great music…
I think shampoo is not good for men's hair, use only water the hair would preserve itself with natural oils. I got this advice from Brett Anderson from Suede. Works for me, but you can use more natural cleaning stuff.
As time goes on there's something more and more phony about him at least to me
@@goldenultra here they come, the beautiful ones
This interview truly made my day. Bruce is a national treasure. And so is the guitar.
@Bruce Springsteen ...you disappoint..I was a huge fan, big fan, but you are a disrespectful, spiteful man. Love your music..but your babble...
@@scootar097 sarà libero di dire quello che pensa? 🤔😯😌
So like most guitars??? Wat a silly comment, teles are made with finesse,you sound like you got ripped off dued
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
Good man greetings from sunny Scotland....go for it. Use Bruce as a guide and example.😊
The man he bought the guitar from lived in my neighborhood -his name was Phil Petillo. Bruce was in and out his shop all the time. I loved sitting in his shop and listening to him talk about all the interesting instruments he was working on and the many inventions he developed through the years.
Wow.
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.
Looks amazing for his age
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!
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! 💝
“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_
Love the song “Born to Run”! It’s great to see his original guitar! I would love to have a signed autograph from Bruce! 💕💕💕
Please get in the que, Sir... 😆
@@fairdinkum977 😂😂😂
@@chrisspiers6310 Ci sono anche,io! 😅😅😘
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.👍🎸
I had so many Telecasters drawn on the covers of my exercise books in school in the late 80s. Love that guitar. In '95 I finally got my own (and learned how to make it talk - a little bit..) Not a / that Esquire, obviously. But I know what Bruce meant with "a part of my body".. Bruce's Tele/Esquire must be one - if not the most valuable guitars. An icon. Nice to see it again.
Is it a telecaster body and an esquire neck?
@@waxeatingguru yes.
Saw him 1rst time at the Spectrum in Philly...Great music and he still sounds that way.Bless you Bruce
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.
I was gifted a trip from Hamburg to Berlin, by Bruce Springsteen in 81. Need I say more. Bruce Springsteen is a gift from God to you. Lchaim from Jacova born March 11th in a Bethlehem. I add, Pablo Ferro, one of the editors of Philadelphia was my best friend. Amen Bellmont, N.J...and cherry Hill
Find someone who looks at you the way Bruce looks at his guitar. 😉
Love you Bruce Springsteen 💗
Since your beginning. You are a fabulous man and 🎵🎶 🎵🎵 🎵
Love you, Jody
That guitar should go in the Smithsonian. It has historic significance now!
"It belongs in a museum!"
-Dr Henry Jones, Jr
It’s in the rock and roll hall of fame from what I can remember
But sad if it never gets played?
Guitars have to be played
What a treat, thank you for some of the best memories....🎸

I get what he's saying about a guitar becoming an extension of your body. I've been playing guitar for 20-odd years, mostly an ES-339 or an SG, and he's right, it really does become part of one's physique. I've found myself walking around the house with the guitar strapped on, having forgotten I was wearing it.
I’ve seen that guitar twice up close.
First at the R and R HOF. Inches away. It felt like seeing a holy Rock and Roll relic.
The second was at the Met in NYC. It felt like an old friend that I appreciated more than ever.
What an iconic musician.
And a good man too...

Guitar purchased by Bruce Springsteen for $185. Now valued at "Priceless".
That guitars at least worth 6 figures. Thats a lowball safe estimate
@@dvon1097 We'll be looking at 7 figs easy. Clapton's Blackie sold at sold at a mil and that was 2000s money.
Your talent has NEVER WAVERED 💓 AND you're STILL MIGHTY FINE Mr 😎💓💓
I owe Bruce Springsteen {and Jerry Lewis} my entire life. I wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be here 30 years ago when I was just 16 or even less. That's how much he meant to me and my life.
Fan since 1985 when I was just 13, USA FOR AFRICA collective album, the 1st ever album I bought of many to come. His track the one I listened most, of that album stack with so much megastars. Hearing his voice for the 1st time back then I was hooked forever and happily Trapped!
Trapped is an amazing cover. I, too, was blown away as I first heard it.
That guitar is approaching a Willie Nelson level of wear.
Talking about Trigger? Bruce will need to wear a hole through the pickguard to achieve that look lol
@@cleverusername9369
He has already replaced the pick guard on the album cover (it was leather) with the current standard one.
What a beautiful, beautiful looking guitar design looking at it live
Oh I love his music so much! I've been very fortunate to see him in concert many times. Each show was better than the last! Rock on Boss! Your music has inspired me all my life! 😘
Dancing in the dark, was my favourite one.
And later I also realised, one of my favourite actor, also featured in that video... Courtney Cox!
Nice one.. Streets of Philadephia is my favourite..
@@pakpala1 A Philly girl here who concurs!
LOL. In the middle of winter I jumped over the fence in Colts Neck and stole a piece of the fence because it was Bruce’s house. Then went on to break into the PNC and play the fence while singing on stage! To me, just as good as jumping a fence for Elvis. After all, this is the Boss! It was in the early 80’s so I think I’m in the clear to confess
Just seeing that piece of legendary equipment gives me chills... Historic.
I saw that guitar, in '75. Yay !!!!!!!
”I’ve seen the future of rock n roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen”
This was a lovely interview.
Guitar got a pretty nice ovation I must say
Wow wow wow this is good. That guitar. I have looked at it for decades. Bruce. My hero.
Go Bruce go
"Uhhh.. I don't believe Jon Stewart has touched that guitar.."
"Hahahaha...."
Somewhere out there... a short, hairy old man just narrowed his eyes.
I downloaded the book. Lincoln and Obama are amazing. So obscene that 45 could hold the same office.
Big Orange was way more successful than Barry
@@wwbuirkle And pizza tends to dive into flowers. Proving that the orange ate cardboard. Random enough for ya?
You are the obscene one. I bet you think Lincoln was a democrat, as well.
@@Krullmatic aw - posting where ya don't belong again! Shoo troll!
@@kimp428 That sounds real tolerant and inclusive!
The Boss is Amazingly Humble and Righteous!
Honestly waited more than half my life to have the experience that Colbert has at 3:42
Bruce. A real loving down to earth man. X
He will always be The Boss.
Love this guy and everything associated with him ledgend!
Bet Bruce has more stories to smile with.
Keeping it real.
Love that Brice's Tele gets a round of applause. Amazing!
Do you have any idea how jealous Jon Stewart is???🤣
I've been hopelessly infatuated with this man since I was 16. I'm 58. Still mad for the boy.
Have loved the
O the Boss for 45 years,so,so talented , saw him in 1974 in Phoenix at a small stadium called the Celebrity and ir was so small he dad to 2 shows and he danced and gyrated so hard don’t know he did it the 2nd show. He was so hot!!! Wish he would grow his hair a little
czcams.com/video/MzaCQde6Qc8/video.html
I love that tele!
Greatest Album ever made.
@Bruce Springsteen when are you back in Glasgow UK cheers Marty
Brooooooooooos!!!!! Been a fan for f your music since I was a kid. I enjoy your wisdom as much as I enjoy your music.
At some point in the future, I hope that guitar and other instruments like it can be seen on tour throughout the US as part of a history of the arts & pop culture exhibit... 🎸💗
When Bruce strum it the Acoustic sound loud 😍😍proof it's a good sounding aged wood guitar.
I love Bruce
Really nice To hear him talking about the balance when you’re an artist.
I'd love to watch a rundown video about the guitar and what had been done to it over the years.
Remy: No need for a rundown - it's just been ABUSED and BULLIED to bits!!!! 😣😉
Saw him play it at The Carrier Dome (Syracuse, NY) - Jan 1985
He's definitely gotten his money's worth out of that guitar.
That guitar will sell for millions ..
If guitars could talk ! 😁🎸🤛
@@marthadray3145 What a Boss comment! 🎸
@@SageTheRage 😁🤙
@@marthadray3145 , he learned how to make it talk. 😉
I was never into the the boss, just not me type of music, except for 'Tunnel of love', love that song. but as a person I think he's awesome, what an icon!
Damn fine choice! My other 2 up there are Brilliant Disguise and Badlands.
A Living Legend 👏
Wow! What a legacy and legend!!
love it still hes the piezzo input on it!!!
my god!! i would love to just touch that guitar with one finger!! its a relic!! love you bruce! saw you 6 times!!
Besides Sir Paul's Hofner bass, that guitar is probably the most valuable rock and roll musical instrument on the planet.
It's nice to know that it still can be played even if Bruce doesn't use it for a nightly 3 hour show any longer.
Hendrix's lefty not lefty white strat,
Ledbellys 12 string that Kurt Cobain owned.
Clapton's Blackie should be something of a similar value too.
@@whatabouttheearth Kurt Cobain did not own a lead belly guitar. However, the most valuable guitar ever sold is the one he played at Nirvana’s MTV unplugged, it sold for $6 million dollars. Previous record was David Gilmour’s black strat ($4m).
Legend and I'm not even the greatest fan of his albums (except NEBRASKA) but live he is amazing -
As the Craigslist ad might say "Some buckle rash".
That's funny!
"A few chips and dings that couldn't be photographed."
Great storyteller, the Boss ;-)
I have so much respect for Bruce. He has proved his credentials, his mutual respect/admiration for his peers, and (trivia: he is my dad's age) ... he is looking healthy and mentioned early in the interview the "balance" between being IN the music industry and surviving it. IMO ... he is the opposite of the decadence/rack-and-ruin of rock and roll, more like the fully rehabilitated Australian Jimmy Barnes. $0.02
Grâce à toi, je vois la lumière Boss 💖😎🎸💖😉
Few guys look that good at 52, much less at 72.
Really would like this guitar tattooed as a tribute to Bruce and how much his music has helped not just me but everyone :)
How can he be 72? He is timeless.💕
SoundGuy is like “Get that fucking guitar off your chest. Goddamnit”.
😂😂😂
LOVE ❤️💖🥰💋💋 Bruce 💞
I live in small city in Asturias , in north of Spain , called “Gijón”
My city has less than 300,000 habitants .
Yet he has played here 3 times.
So if he has been here 3 times. With that guitar. I can perfectly believe that guitar has been in all of the world !
Another cool detail of that famous album cover is his Elvis Presley fan club button affixed to the strap.
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.
Ever since I saw this story about Bruce's guitar, I've been looking back at all the videos and trying to spot it. It's become kind of a Where's Waldo like game.
Why oh WHY do we all have to get old?
As long as Rock'n'roll Lives - We will never REALLY Get Old. That's the BEST answer that I can offer. DO what I Did - Play it for Your children & Grandchildren, so that THEY can Do the SAME, & keep the Music WE'VE loved all our lives Alive & encourage Growth in the R'n'R That is to come.
💃🏾🇫🇷🕊A love legend and peace …..🕊💙🕊
Born to rum 💗😁🎶🎶💗😁
Only Steven Colbert-related video I would ever give a like to.
Correct if I am wrong, but the only changes Bruce made to that guitar were a couple of pick guard changes. Check thr pick guard out in pictures during the Born To Run tour. There is a picture on the guard itself.
Bruce ...my Crush 😘🤩😍🥰💘
Božanstveni Brus, velika zvezda. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋.
That guitar is in the No Nukes "Sherry Darling" video. Bruce never took it off!!! ❤Bruce
❤
Story teller!
He’s a pretty cool guy for sure.
Back when Jimmy Buffett's first record came out a buddy and I drove to Key West. Just for fun we found a phone book in a phone booth (both were common then), looked up his address, found his house, hoping to smoke a doobie with him. Sadly, no-one home.
Still - Sounds like a Happy Memory!! Rock on Sir - Rock on!!
Or as his Dad said " That fucking Guitar " .
1:44 guitar show-and-tell. More info in Rolling Stone article: Bruce Springsteen's Favorite Guitar: The Story Behind One-of-a-Kind Ax
Looks just like Nuno Bettencourt' original number one Washburn N4 and Nuno played that thing for over 20 years and said the exact same thing it became a part of him/and extension of him.
