Bruce Springsteen's AV'62?

Hello Fellow Tele Enthusiasts!

I am in the hunt!
I have been waiting for a really good feeling/sounding telecaster that was appealing on the eyes and the ears...

Then I saw the Fender American Vintage 62 Tele.
The DB Sunburst body just looked gorgeous... and for it not to have gold hardware was a huge plus.
This guitar has been on my mind for a while now... (although this isnt the purpose of the topic, what do you guys think of them?)

I caught The Boss on Jimmy Fallon last night, and was amazed when I saw Bruce slinging a tele that looked IDENTICAL to the one in my dreams...
Anyone know if Bruce picked up an AV'62 and became a member of the DBTOC?

If so, then I believe it has become a priority for me to buy this guitar...
Any news let me know...

Not a bad video, but not the same without Clarence. RIP


Any news on this, let me know.
Thanks guys and gals!

It's a Custom Shop, can't find it now but I've seen a pic with CS logo the back of the headstock.
There's a thread about Bruce's guitars and the double bound sunburst one is discussed there.

Whatever it was, I thought it had a CBS transitional decal and it definitely had two string trees. If I was seeing the decal correctly then it wasn't supposed to be a 62 model (or at least an accurate one). I just figured it was probably an authentic 65, 66 or 67 Custom. But, that was first I saw the guitar so I could be mistaken.

Here´s some more stuff from the MAGIC-Tour 2007/2008:

THE Esquire was only played in Boston, November 2007:
"Thunder Road" - "..Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk"

The show starts with a Relic 62 Custom (with CS logo on the back of the headstock)

then he switched between a butterscotch blackguard:

and black one

and a vintage natural (looks like a clone of THE Esquire)

he's spoken in the past of not being a guitar collector - until more recently, so I doubt it's an original Custom, and I've seen the CS logo on a number of his guitars. I love the Sunburst CS Tele 12 he uses in this video
