Featuring a one-piece maple neck, this two-tone sunburst Stratocaster came with single-coil Seymour Duncan SSL pickups, its safe to say that he enjoyed their sound so much he would later adapt this set up for his road running 62 Strat.

One of the guitars Frusciante acquired before embarking on the Stadium Arcadium tour, the red 61 Stratocaster was used mainly as a backup for his 62 signature Stratocaster. Allegedly, John walked into the Red Hot Chili Peppers band with only a Kramer Pacer, and that guitar is an undocumented mystery, but his first year with the band did see him play this Ibanez all the way to When Frusciante joined the band, Ibanez seemingly sought to sponsor him, so they gave him an RG and along with a Wah pedal.

John remains thankful to this day for their friendly approach, but since the tones on the guitar were rather heavy and dirty, both Flea and Kiedis rejected their usage.

The body of this Ibanez RG was completely covered in stickers, including one of the very first ever printed RHCP ones, it featured two single coils, one in the middle another one on the neck, while it had a complete humbucker on the bridge position.

Other than that, he mainly relied on lent Strats and Les Pauls for his debut installment with the Peppers. This is one of my favorite John Frusciante guitars of all time. The Ibanez Rg was mainly used as a road backup instrument for his then main go-to, the RG This primarily backup guitar was seen on various shows but only documented during the Virginia Commonwealth University show.

According to John himself, he smashed them on-stage shortly after. John milked this Strat from the very start of when it was, according to the guitarist, stolen sometime around Nevertheless, Frusciante stated back then he received a couple of prop Strats during the tour:. This Fender Strat was documented several times, it was used for most of the gig at the Dam Square in Amsterdam on August 26th, while it was also featured in the music video for Knock Me Down. This guitar became his go-to when playing Knock Me Down, Higher Ground, and Good Time Boys live, and it was presumably used in the studio as well, with regular rotating to his Strat, this six-string lineup remained up until From that point on, Frusciante would keep his Strats in rotation with the aforementioned models.

Also known as the guitar John used for the Under the Bridge video, this Fender Jaguar became an instant favorite for the guitarist, although the story of how he acquired it is still unknown, it became an intimate instrument to him. As a s Jaguar would, it featured two single-coil pickups and a floating tremolo with a wide selection of controls, as well as two master knobs. Its rosewood neck featured white binding dot inlays and reportedly the painting cracks came with it by the time John got his hands on it.

John used it specifically for The Power of Equality, and the self-titled track of the record, as well as most of the overdubs on the tenure. It is, however, known as the guitar Frusciante used for the Under the Bridge music video. The strings are all crusty, and the notes crap out when you bend them. I used it to write most of the music, and I became really attached to it.

When it comes to acoustic, Frusciante is known to be a devoted Martin user, this D particularly is often confused with his D There are few occasions where John was recorded with this Martin D For one, it can be seen sitting in his room in the Funky Monks documentary, he also used it during an interview with Dutch TV as Kiedis and Frusciante breakdown certain personal aspects of their new record in , they perform Under the Bridge while on a boat ride on the Amstel river.

This s Les Paul was adopted briefly by Frusciante in during the stretched recording sessions of Blood Sugar Sex Magic, especially for the composition of Give it Away. Nevertheless, the project would dismember as the two Chili members would attend a tight schedule for their tenure. This Gibson Les Paul was an early 90s model rather than a vintage model, its easy to tell from its entire bullion gold finish as opposed to older versions that would feature a wooden back.

Of course, this means there were some iconic performances, including their infamous SNL presentation and his last appearance of his first period with the band.

During the first leg of the tour in the U. S, the Red Hot Chili Peppers began to pack arenas, and they would share the stage with other iconic acts of the time, Nirvana and Pearl Jam among them. Throughout the entirety of the tour Frusciante remained reluctant to his usual stage performance, sometimes charismatic, others simply standing with his guitar on the corner, and many other times he would sabotage the show. As for the guitars he managed to keep, many were lost during a fire that broke out at his home in , it is presumed that this Fender Stratocaster is one of those lost pieces of gear.

One of the few guitars John owned prior to his reintegration to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he claimed to have bought this 62 Fender Jaguar from Voltage Guitars in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, according to the guitarist, he might have purchased it in or even before.

According to Kiedis, Frusciante had no guitar of his own when he rejoined the band, so he bought him his next Stratocaster as a welcome home gift. But this Jaguar was a personal gem for John a tad before his return, one can only assume this Jaguar stuck with him through his rehabilitation and spent countless hours practicing on it. Then when the guys asked me to rejoin the band I said that I really need a Stratocaster. So Anthony lent me some money and we went to Guitar Centre and I got one with the rosewood neck.

During the recording sessions of their album, John would rotate his Jaguar with several other six-strings, but he managed to become an associated name with the model when touring with this particular guitar. It was notoriously used when the band played Around the World to open their shows, especially in Woodstock 99, which was broadcasted globally.

With the music video release of Californication and Otherside, Frusciante saw a transitional period with this piece. Initially, this guitar was acquired with the aid of Vicente Gallo, who helped John get back on track when he returned to the Chili Peppers.

The Gretsch white falcon features a String-Thru Bigsby tremolo in a single-cutaway hollow maple body that makes for a desirable guitar ever since it popped out in the market.

Although not the most frequented on-stage preference, this Gretsch model has seen some action ever since it was acquired in , for one, it was the guitar in which Frusciante recorded This Velvet Grove and Otherside. In his own words — he used it to get in the grove again and for writing songs. Well, it was the guitar that Rick Rubin gave to Anthony and Anthony lent it to me. John played this Maton acoustic guitar during a part of the Californication tour.

Interestingly, even though John recorded some of the songs on it, the amp was never used on tour, but a W Marshall Lead was used instead.

It appears however that this amp was used only in the studio since on the following tour a Silverface Dual Showman was used instead. This amp seemed to have been used for the entirety of the Californication tour, next to a Marshall Silver Jubilee and a Major Bass. It was abandoned by the time the band went on the By The Way tour in in mid, and since then John resorted to using Marshall amps exclusively on stage.
