Notes
Studio recording, 1983-1984 (Born in the U.S.A. sessions). Guitar is the iconic Esquire/Tele hybrid with a single bridge pickup. Amp is widely reported as a Fender Bassman for this era and song. Some sources mention possible use of Marshall Plexi or Mesa Boogie in other contexts, but Bassman is most consistently cited for this solo. Effects include overdrive/distortion and slapback delay. No evidence of modulation effects. Pickup preamp mod may have been active for added output.
