Bruce Springsteen has used the same 'bitza' guitar which he bought in 1973 for almost the entirety of his career. [1] https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-

  He's a singer-songwriter though not a virtuoso guitarist.

    That wasn't the position of the goalposts.

    Which is irrelevant, and wasn't part of the original claim. He still made his livehood singing and playing guitar to tens of thousands of people at a time. Besides, virtuoso guitarists also use cheap inexensive guitars all the time. Some examples, out of the top of my mind: Prince, a big virtuoso, favorited his "Madcat", a Tele clone he bought for like $50 dollars. Eddie Van Halen often used cheap Teisco guitars. Mike Rutherford (the Genesis guitarist) used mucho-cheapo Squier Bullet guitars (Fender's cheapo line) for Generis 2020 live tours. Marillion's Steve Rothery also uses a Squire as one of his main axes. The Beatles were also known for using cheapo guitars like Epiphone Casinos.
