Rock and Roll Hall of Fame adds new pieces

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland has added some rock star items to its exhibits.

The rock hall says it has put on display in recent weeks pieces from the collections of Paul Simon, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

Simon's 1967 acoustic guitar was used onstage during a Simon and Garfunkel appearance at Monterey Pop. He used the guitar throughout the 1960's.

Springsteen's Gibson acoustic guitar also has made it into the rock hall. It was given to him as a Christmas present in 1988 by a record engineer who bought it in a pawn shop in 1972.

Huge amplifier stage props conceived by Young for his 1978 Rust Never Sleeps tour have been added to the main exhibit hall.
