After 46 years of use, in December 2014 Rossi was said to be "heartbroken" when the trademark green Telecaster finally become worn beyond use - the wood having become too soft to be able to properly tune the instrument [REF].
For amplification Rossi uses Marshall JCM800 or JCM900 Lead series amplifiers with 4x12 cabinets and a Roland GP8 to boost his signal.
