John Fru x Mike Mccready Strat

I need help from someone who owns a Mike McCready MiM Strat.
I’m thinking about getting one, but not because of Mike — more because of John and his ’62 Strat. Mike’s Strat is probably the closest-looking “affordable” Strat out there to John’s because they kind of have the same „broken up“ guitars.
So I’m curious if anyone here owns one because of John. And how does it sound? I’ve heard it’s one of the best relic MiM Strats out there. Is it worth it?
So please let me know!

Flea in Rotterdam show+crazy experience

So yesterday I was at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam with my dad to see Flea and the Honora Band. They were incredible. It was so beautiful and emotional. I was crying when Flea started playing such a melodic, emotional, and beautiful intro. The whole arena was in shock at how one human being can express music in such a beautiful way. It really reached your soul, and you could feel it in your veins.

The show itself was the highlight, but the first highlight happened 3.5 hours before the concert.
We were walking around the festival, grabbed something to eat, and played some guitar. Then we came across a small stage where Deantoni Parks was drumming.
My dad and I sat down to listen to Flea’s drummer, Deantoni Parks, play and take part in an interview. After the interview, the audience could ask questions. And then…
Someone with a familiar voice said, “I have a question.” We looked to the right, and there was Flea standing about four meters in front of us. I was literally shaking for five minutes straight. It was such a surprise because nobody had noticed him before that.
Flea asked Deantoni a question, but if I’m honest, I didn’t even listen because I couldn’t believe Flea was standing right there. After Deantoni answered, Flea said, “Please give a big round of applause for such an amazing human being and musician, Deantoni Parks.” Then he added, “I’ll see you later, Deantoni,” since they were playing together about three hours later.
Flea signed a couple of albums, I believe, and then said he had to go. I was so close to asking for a picture, but it is what it is.

Just wanted to share some pictures from that unforgettable moment, along with some backstage shots of Flea’s bass and Chris Warren. 😁

Bridge Height?

Hey, so its the first time i changed my strings on my fender Stratocaster. So after i put on the new strings i noticed that the bridge came up like shown on the picture. Is it because of the new strings? Or is something wrong with the bridge? Or does the bridge just need to adjust to the new strings? Can somebody help me? This would be awsome😁

JF Pedalboard

This is my JF Pedalboard. If you have any tips let me know. Also, how do you guys deal with the ds2 and dl4? On my setup they dont really work well together. The sound kind of gets dirty and you can’t hear the delay or ds2 well together. The sound kind of gets squished. So let me know if you have any idea on how to fix it.

Pedal Order:
Fender Vintera II 60s Strat RW OWT
->DS2
->Big Muff Nano
->MXR Micro Amp
->Wh10
->Line 6 dl4
-> Frus Atlas (ce1 Preamp clone)
-> Angel Wing Chorus
-> Holy Grail Reverb
-> Marshall 2525C Mini Silver Jubilee (Amp)

John Frusciante Signature 62‘ Strat Replica (normal price)

When will we get John’s ’62 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster replica? And no, I’m not talking about the 100 replicas they released last year that sold for $20k 😭😭. I’m talking about something in the same price range as Mike McCready’s Strat or the Tom Morello Tele they released recently.

I think $1.7k for a signature guitar is a fair price. And a Frusciante ’62 signature Strat would be an absolute dream for Frusciante fans. I would buy one the second it comes on sale!

So what do you think? When will we get these types of models for the Frusciante Strat??
