Not sure if this has already been posted, but this is a pretty interesting look backstage on the Bon Jovi stage with "Guitarist" website, and discusses the preparation of the guitars, etc.

very interesting read thanks for the link. I see a nice Double neck red guitar(forgive me for not bieng sure of the name) but i dont recall seeing any pictures from the tour(nor did he use it at twickers) of richie playing it. Anyone know when he used it/which songs? or perhaps my eyes decive me.

Wow, cheers for the link it was really interesting!

The Gibson ES-1275. It's basically a double neck SG, with a 12 string neck.

He used it in Greensboro, but that was the only one of my shows at which I recall seeing it. Unfortunately, I don't remember which song it was. I might be able to figure it out if I check the setlist. If I come up with anything, I'll post again. I do have a photo, though:

EDIT - I think it was Someday I'll Be Saturday Night. Guitar guys, would that make any sense? There were just 2 songs between Miss Fourth Of July and WGIGO. Both of those songs are very easy to identify in my photos because of the accordion and the Zemaitis. In between, I've got one shot with a different guitar immediately after Miss Fourth (which would have been Whole Lot Of Leavin') and then a batch of photos with the red one.

That old man that used to be Richie's roadie is not there anymore ?

Nope. I believe I've read on here that he retired after the HAND tour.

Thank you !

SBISN makes perfect sense given the 12 string acoustic that is sometimes used, and the fact that Jon is playing an acoustic in that picture. All bets are on SIBSN.

Good grief, you mean I might be right? LOL That's actually pretty scary! ;)
