A 2017 Fender Telecaster electric guitar, serial #MX17877772, in butterscotch finish. Signed by Bruce Springsteen to Randy Bachman as a birthday gift. Owned and played by Randy Bachman, who has sold 40 million records worldwide as a member of The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and as a solo artist.

Founded by Prince Harry in 2015, the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto had a number of featured performers which included Bachman & Turner, Sarah McLachlan, Coeur de pirate, Kelly Clarkson, and Bryan Adams. Bachman & Turner and Bryan Adams both played the closing ceremony with Bruce Springsteen joining Adams onstage for a rendition of his song “Badlands.”

The 2017 Invictus Games also coincided with Randy’s 74th birthday, and having heard it was Randy’s birthday, Springsteen presented Randy with a signed Fender Telecaster to commemorate the occasion. It is signed, “To Randy, Happy Birthday!! Bruce Springsteen.” Bruce also drew music notes and a guitar on the upper bass side bout.

Bachman, Turner, and Springsteen posed for a photo together which will be included with the Auction. The guitar also comes with a Fender soft case.
