John Frusciante

[Scott V]

I've long been a fan of John's playing and was curious about his gear. I'd done a search that didn't really bring up much. From what I understand he favors 50's Strats (originals), but have no idea what amps, effects he has used. I'm also curious as to any details on his Strats, pickups, etc.

Guitar Player mag featured him withing the past year or few. Head to your local or branch library or web catalog and you'll probably find it.
