It was in the 80s that Sambora gathered the group Bon Jovi. At this time, the titles of hard-rock had  enormous success. He wrote with Jon, leader of the group, and sees the consecration arriving with the album Slippery When Wet. The singles Livin' on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name and Wanted Dead or Alive rank one after the other at the top of the American charts.

Richie Sambora's Fender Telecaster Double Neck

Richie Sambora had used the Fender Telecaster double neck, the first solid body electric guitar. Before Fender, he played Gibson guitars. He played several dozen models and would own at least 130! Among them acoustic Ovation, six and 12 string Taylor, a double neck as well. Also, a 1959 Epiphone Sheraton and many others.

For the record: You can see one of his guitars if you go to London, because it is at the Hard Rock Café, it is the Fender Stratocaster.We will have often seen Richie Sambora accompanied by a Fender Telecaster Double Neck during concerts, but also TV shows. Maybe his favorite? Still, he has always considered each of his guitars as a unique instrument. When passion speaks...

Note that he was married to the actress Heather Locklear (who starred in the television show, Melrose Place) and then a collaboration with Orianthi resulted in the release of three albums (2017 to 2018). It was at that time his girlfriend. A talented guitarist who has been compared to Joe Satriani, no less!
