Used to talk to his guitar player Marc Ribot in the late 80's.

He told me two things, that Tom told him to play on one song like a "midget's Bar Mitzvah", and that Tom was a much better guitar player than anyone knew.

That song is off of Wait's Heartattack and Vine album which is one of his best, imo.

He said something about how Springsteen’s cover paid his rent for years.

Well... thanks for whoever moved this to listen? I really wanted to know what kind of guitar Waits was playing.
I’m not so sure its a es-150. Arent those electrics? Maybe I’ll try to grab a sreen shot pic and repost.
Thanks for the comments!
