BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - GUITAR GREATS PAY TRIBUTE TO FENDER
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, KEITH RICHARDS, THE EDGE and ERIC CLAPTON have paid tribute to Fender guitar mastermind LEO FENDER, who was posthumously honoured by the Recording Academy of America during Grammy weekend (07Feb09).Fender, who died in 1991, was honoured with the Academy's Technical Award during a ceremony on Saturday.
His Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars revolutionised rock music, and the world's top players use either one or both when recording and performing.
In a tribute piece in the Los Angeles Times newspaper, Clapton recalls the first time he saw a Fender: "It was the perfect design. It looked like a spaceship. I loved that it was new and exciting and like science fiction."
And U2 star The Edge reveals he bought "the Strat" he performs on hits like Pride (In the Name of Love) and Where the Streets Have No Name as soon as the Irish rockers signed their first record contract.
Springsteen insists, "I will be buried with my Tele(caster) on," while Rolling Stones star Richards adds, "There's a beautiful individuality about Leo's work."

da LiveDaily: CITAZIONEI've heard from sources that Bruce will no longer be touring with his classic Fender Esquire (the one he's holding on the cover of Born to Run), and it will be part of the Springsteen exhibit opening at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April. Surprised he's letting go of it after all these years...

ora che so suonare un po' meglio voglio comprami una takamine, quindi guardo a bruce per consigli.
non è che ci capisco tanto delle takamine. a vederle sembrano tutte uguale! sapete dirme per cosa stanno le lettere?
so che bruce spesso ha usato la ef341 però non mi piace perche già ho una acustica tipo dreadnought e la trovo scomoda da suonare mentre sto seduto perche è troppo grossa.
quelle che mi piacciono (in ordine di prezzo) sono la eg260c; eg461sc; eg541ssc, ef261sbl.
sapete dirme che modello è questa sunburst che sta usando ultimamente nella foto (che ho trovato su google). sembra carina questa - solo che io la volevo nera.

CITAZIONE (Aldo1980 @ 24/3/2009, 04:29)ora che so suonare un po' meglio voglio comprami una takamine, quindi guardo a bruce per consigli.
credo che se rchi una buona chitarra non è che devi per foza andare su TAKAMINE; anche Bryce mi sa che ce l'ha per contratto nnegli show, anche se in studio usa di tutto (vedi MAKING OF etc)
Poi le Bruce Takamine saranno "custom" e quindi speciali....non so se ti conviene, aspetta il suggerimento di qualche chitarrita o para con qualcuno che suona sul serio
Se invece vuoi "imitarlo"......

Se hai molti soldi da spendere( beato te ) comprati una Takamine di fascia alta ..... quelle di fascia bassa ( sotto i 1800 € ) a volte sono delle ciofeche e ti garantisco, suonano meglio le Ibanez di fascia media ...comunque fai tu !! Ce ne sono per tutte le tasche su E-bay . -

IO NON HO LA STESSA OPINIONE SULLE TAKAMINE DI MEDIA BASSA FASCIA.
HO UNA TAKAMINE 300 EURO, PIù ALTRI 90 DI SETTAGGIO DAL LIUTAIO E SUONA VERAMENTE BENE! SPECIALMENTE LIVE. LE TAKAMINE SONO SPECIALI PER QUESTO!!
BRUCE SI TROVA BENE (NON SOLO PENSO PER CONTRATTO) MA PROPRIO PERCHè LIVE RENDONO BENISSIMO.
LE IBANEZ SONO TROPPO "DURE", BEI LEGNI, MA TROPPO DURE!
IO MI CI TROVO BENE!!!
UN ABBRACCIO A TUTTI!
MAX. -

Time for a replica of Bruce Springsteen's 'Born to Run' Telecaster?
12:31 PM PT, Apr 2 2009
Guitars, like their owners, aren’t immortal, which is one reason why Eric Clapton decided to donate his celebrated “Blackie” Fender Stratocaster for a charity auction five years ago. (It fetched just under a cool $1 million.) Years on the road and in the studio had taken its toll, he said, so it was time to move on.
Bruce Springsteen, the subject of a Sunday Calendar profile, may be feeling the same way about his most famous Telecaster, the one he’s holding on to on the cover of the “Born to Run” album, which was fairly road-tested when that album came out 34 years ago. The Boss recently started exploring the idea of getting a clone to take on tour so the original doesn’t suffer further abuse, asking the folks at Fender’s Custom Shop about building him a doppelganger.
One of the Custom Shop’s innovations has been its Tribute series of replica guitars, which are copies of famous instruments duplicated down to the nick, scuff, scratch and cigarette stain. Currently the company has an Andy Summers Telecaster and a Rory Gallagher Strat copied from those players’ own guitars. They’ve also mirrored guitars played by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton and other guitar heroes.
After Springsteen expressed interest in a copy of his signature Tele, Custom Shop marketing director Mike Eldred suggested a limited run of the iconic guitar, with maybe 100 instruments from which proceeds could be donated to the charity of Springsteen’s choice.
“He sent us a note back, saying, ‘That sounds like about 99 too many,' ” Eldred said recently. They’re still awaiting word on whether the Boss wants to move forward with just the one. In any case, fans may never know if he ever does get one, since the copies are virtually indistinguishable from the original. That one is currently on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland as part of a Springsteen exhibit, where you can look, but you'd better not touch.

UPDATE: An earlier version stated that Springsteen has the "Born To Run" Telecaster with him on his current tour. It is on loan to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for an exhibit that opened this week.

dal sito ufficiale GIBSON...un articolo sulla "Fender" di Bruce 
Legendary Guitar: Bruce Springsteen’s Fender Esquire
Dave Hunter | 05.14.2009
Countless electric and acoustic guitars become legendary simply by being the instrument of choice of one guitar hero or another. Others, in addition to being played, are elevated to a higher level by virtue of their appearances on classic album covers.
One of the most deserving of Legendary Guitar status of any electric on the planet, Bruce Springsteen’s ’50s Fender Esquire is both a cover star and a lifelong “No. 1” pick for this rock and roller.
Springsteen has played other guitars, and naturally takes plenty of spares on the road with him, but the image of The Boss will forever be linked with that blackguard maple-neck Esquire, a guitar that he has consistently stated is the best he has ever played.
Its initial appearance on 1975’s Born to Run arguably turned on more budding rockers to the simple pleasures of the Esquire and Telecaster than any other influence, and it has subsequently made a showing on the albums Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live 1975-85, Human Touch and Greatest Hits.
Plenty of authorities have been quoted on the vintage and specs of Springsteen’s instrument, but the “Erector Set” nature of Fender electrics makes it virtually impossible to determine the precise year this guitar was made, and whether its main ingredients even came off the assembly line together.
Springsteen has stated in live concert footage from the mid ’70s that he purchased the guitar in the early ’70s from New Jersey-based luthier Phil Petillo, who also cared for the instrument in the early days.
Other reports indicate that Petillo purchased the Esquire from a liquidation sale at a New York recording studio, and that the guitar was already somewhat modified when he acquired it, most notably having a considerable amount of wood routed from beneath the pickguard to accommodate extra pickups, in addition to the factory route for the neck pickup.
Past interviews with Springsteen and his guitar techs indicate that the Esquire was a 1953 or ’54 model (note that the post-factory addition of a neck pickup makes this normally single-pickup Esquire look like a two-pickup Telecaster), and its — heavily worn — transparent butterscotch blonde finish and black pickguard would seem to uphold that notion.
The neck, however, wears the “butterfly” string guide for the B and E strings positioned roughly in line with the A-string tuner post, which replaced the round guide that was more distant from the nut in mid-’56, along with the logo decal at the far side of this guide, a change made at the same time.
Myriad interviews also indicate that the neck has the soft-V profile that came back into fashion at Fender in late ’55 and remained largely through ’57 (early ’50-’51 necks were also V’d, or “boat necks,” but were thicker overall). All of this points at a neck made later than ’53 or ’54, and although an earlier neck could have been modified to these specs, the correct answer is usually the simplest: a later neck was added to an earlier body (just guessing here folks, but logic dictates that there might be something in this speculation).
Certainly there’s some funny business going on with the pickguard on Springsteen’s guitar, too. These early black guards were mounted with five screws rather than the seven that Springsteen’s Esquire appears with, as were the white pickguards that replaced them in late ’54. Two extra screws could have been added, perhaps to keep the guard from warping, but the original guard would have to have been changed anyway, if extra middle pickups had once been added, as indicated by the non-standard body routes.
The Born to Run cover shot also shows an unidentifiable sticker of some sort on the pickguard between the bridge and neck pickups, a sticker absent from later photos, so either this was scraped off, or the entire guard was changed again.
Another quirk arises with the photo on the Human Touch cover, which shows a white-edged pickguard, indicating one made from a typical three-ply black/white/black plastic. Examine the guitar itself circa 2009, however, which you can do by visiting the new Bruce Springsteen exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and you’ll see that it once again wears the original single-ply guard, or one like it.
Take all of the above into consideration, particularly the fact that the pickguard was undoubtedly replaced even before Springsteen purchased the Esquire from Petillo, and it’s even possible that this guitar was born as a white-guard model.
Other, later modifications are beyond speculation: the Esquire already has replacement tuners in the Born to Run photo, although it still wears a three-saddle ’50s or early ’60s bridge with stamped steel base plate. Some time later, it received a titanium six-saddle bridge from Petillo, along with a set of the luthier’s own patented Petillo Precision Frets, a fret wire with an inverted-V-shaped crown for precise intonation. Not so easy to detect is the fact that Petillo also added hot rewound single-coil pickups, which this Esquire retains to this day, despite Springsteen’s use of Joe Barden dual-rail single-coil-sized humbuckers in his other Telecasters.
Ultimately, who cares … whatever kind of mutt of an instrument the thing had become by the time it landed in Springsteen’s hands, it has been the driving force behind some of the most compelling rock anthems of the past 35 years. Just listen to the searing solos from “Prove It All Night” or “Candy’s Room,” and you don’t need to worry about the details — scorching hot-rodded Tele, four to the floor, and that’s all we need to worry about.
