Don't know if anyone else caught it but on the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame Concert being spread around HBO On Demand, Garry Tallent (Springsteen) is playing a beautiful old natural finish Guild Starfire I during the segment where Billy Joel sits in on 'New York State Of Mind'.
It's the version with the single pickup down by the bridge (would that be V.1 or V.2 of the single pickup Starfire?)...sounds absolutely wonderful. Can't say the finish is stock but probably so...Hans?
Billy Joel played a few more songs but I only caught that one...probably changed out basses. On that song it is fun to see & hear...big tone ;-)
Also...I think the one Tallent was playing had a harp bridge with the graduated front edge vs the straight across earlier Hagstrom bridge style.
I looked for it on youtube but all that's there so far are folks with their cameras pinned on Springsteen and Joel...don't they know what's important...geeez!
Here's a couple for fun but, alas, in cherry.
