This lot is an electric guitar autographed on the scratchplate by Bruce Springsteen, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, Garry Tallent and Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. The E Street Band was founded in October 1972, but it was not formally named until September 1974. Springsteen has put together other backing bands during his career, but the E Street Band has been together more or less continuously since its inception. The band took its name from the street in Belmar, New Jersey, where Sancious' mother lived; she allowed the band to rehearse in her garage. Tourists to the area seeking sight of early Springsteen haunts often mistakenly believe the house was on the corner of E Street and 10th Avenue, perhaps due to the song "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" about the band's beginnings.

very good
