Richie Sambora is playing a triple-neck Ovation! Might be old news to some of you, but I never knew such a thing even existed. It appears to be based on an EA-68 Viper, but I might be wrong about that. Top neck has to be a mandolin, with the six and 12-strings under that. This thing had to have been seriously neck-heavy, which may be why he does the opener to "Dead Or Alive" sitting down. Note that JBJ is also playing a 12-string Legend or Custom Legend in this vid, which also reminded me how great these guys really were back in the day. |
Third Neck's a Charm
