At Springsteen Show This Week in DC . . .

If I'm not mistaken, Miami Steve's guitar looks awfully familiar:

the good taste in guitars makes up for the poor taste in headgear

Played it in Philly also. I can't tell if it is a JetGlo or DCM.

You can see it really good in this next one from Hartford, CT - looks like dark cherry metallic but I don't see the 75th logo on the pickguard. I suppose he could have replaced it, but probably lights on the JetGlo making it look deep burgandy.

I seem to remember it being a Tom Petty model.

It's a JG TP model...anyway, the guards are too pale for it to be a 75th.

Music? I love his Garage radio show. And I've read that as a result of an accident (Car? Can't remember) his hair grows in irregular patterens, hence the scarfs.

Do a YouTube search, it looks like McGuinn borrowed that guitar from Steve for a couple of songs at a Bruce gig in Florida recently.

Can't he get afford a hair xplant these days? He must have earned some major $ from being on the Sopranos! Either that or go for the Bruce Willis, or get one of those cool, short-brimmed, early 60s style fedoras. Heck, go pirate-get a tri-corner hat...maybe with a Johnny Depp wig! Or his hairpiece from The Sopranos and play with a snarl. :wink:.

I'm just full of good ideas..
