Alrighty...another dumb Tele question (I suspect I'm gonna have lots of them in the coming weeks as I get used to all this)...

Alrighty, finally got the set list for this new band and there's some Bruce on it, so I headed over to Youtube to start learning my parts (first rehearsal is this Saturday, first gig on the 29th). For a couple of the vids, they had the cover of the Born to Run album (I have 2 or 3 copies on vinyl somewhere). Anyways, looking at Bruce's Tele on the cover, I notice what looks like a P-bass string retainer on a couple of the lower strings (along with the standard retainer on the E and B strings). Based on the condition of the Tele in the pic, I would surmise that the P-bass retainer is likely not original (although I could obviously be wrong) so again wondering here...reason? Is this some kind of Tele thing? As with my Strats, it's not like I've really noticed any buzzing or anything that would suggest a need for a second retainer...is he maybe using this as a Fat Finger (anyone remember those?) or something?

Thoughts?
Thanks!
Jim
