A true 80s guitar hero, Richie Sambora has blessed the world of rock’n’roll with some of the most iconic riffs in history. Despite using a selection of awesome rare and vintage gear, you can get pretty close to his huge sound with alternatives straight off the shelf at your local PMT store. Expect soaring leads and lush chorus tones as we dig a little deeper into the guitars, amps and pedals of Bon Jovi’s original riffmaster and build our own Richie Sambora guitar rig. Many different axes have passed through the hands of Richie Sambora throughout his career, including a selection of Les Pauls, Telecasters, Stratocasters and Ovation acoustic guitars. He is also known for using the iconic Kramer Jersey Star, as well as releasing a signature Richie Sambora Fender Stratocaster model in 1993 that continued production until 1999. But these vintage models are highly-sought after and can be difficult to locate, especially on a reasonable budget - so take a look at our favourite options for achieving the Bon Jovi sound with guitars you can buy right now from PMT.. Originally an homage to the Sambora signature model from Kramer, the Jersey Star has since taken on a life of its own and is now a celebrity in its own right. The classic Superstrat silhouette is built from Alder and teamed with a sleek Maple neck that is capped with a Maple fingerboard. Here, the 22 Medium-Jumbo frets feature ultra-cool Star inlays, whilst the Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo, bridge, and nut combine to offer complete tuning stability even when performing the most outrageous of divebombs. A classic Kramer "Hockey-Stick"-style headstock completes the look, and a configuration of three fantastic Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups grants players a wide range of hard rock tones. Check out this video to learn a little more about it:

Richie Sambora is in talks for a Bon Jovi reunion.
Sambora has confirmed he discussed re-joining Bon Jovi for potential new music, but he’s not sure when they’ll be back for more live shows as frontman Jon Bon Jovi has been having “a little break” after being plagued by vocal issues.
Speaking on Absolute Radio, he spilled: “We’re talking about it. I don’t think there’s any reason not to at this point.”
He continued: “I made the decision when I started to work here in London over the last six months, I hooked up with Hipgnosis and Merck Mercuriadis, and we started to work together and I started to write with other artists and making my own records and now I’m saying to myself, ‘how am I going to ignite this? Let’s put on a potato head!’”
Richie said of his bandmate’s vocal issues: “Jon (Bon Jovi) was having a hard time with his voice a little bit there and he needed to take a little bit of a breather.”
He insisted he and Jon Bon Jovi are on good terms, adding: “You know what, there’s no malice. I mean, we did something … there’s not a lot of bands that did what we did. I mean, obviously, bands like The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and U2 (have).”
Richie quit the band in 2013 after 30 years in order to spend more time with his daughter Ava, now 245, his child from his marriage to Heather Locklear.
And he feels he has an “obligation” to give the fans what they want.
Teasing his upcoming projects, he added: “There’s a new (solo) album coming out, probably at the end of March or the beginning of April and (it’s) with Bob Rock. It’s a rock record. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun and the songs are good, and I’m thrilled and I can’t wait to get out and play again.
“I don’t know when Jon’s going to get his voice together and (when the Bon Jovi reunion is) going to happen, but we have to get out there and do it for the fans really. I feel a second obligation.
“I’ve had such a privilege and an opportunity – and this is not bullshit, it’s really true – my life is pretty good, always has been and I get to do what I love to do for a living and it’s a damn good living. And I never really stopped really.”
