John Frusciante and the 1980 Yamaha SG2000

This is one of John’s more recent guitars, used around the decade of 2010. It is only one of a number of different Yamaha SG guitars that he owns, but it is apparently his favorite one. The guitar was used on PBX and Enclosure albums.

"My main guitars are Yamaha SG2000s. My favorite is a purple one from 1980. I have a few others and a few SG1500s. I switched from the Strat to the Yamahas in late 2010. I’ve played the Strat once in the last three years, and only on one little recording.

I’ve been playing Yamaha SG-2000s mostly, from the late Seventies and early Eighties. They’re my favorite kind of guitar. You can get a lot of tonal variety out of them, and in terms of the wood they’re very heavy guitars, so they have a very fat sound. Much fatter than Strats. (continued) The Yamaha SGs, the guitar is balanced harmonically the same way a piano or an organ is. Whether it’s the lowest note on the instrument or the highest one, it has an equal kind of breadth. And you don’t have as much roundness to the sound, where the note starts thinner and then gets thicker…all that kind of stuff. You get a straight, fat, consistent sound on every fret of every string.

With the Yamaha SG, I could play along with guitar players who were playing, say, Les Pauls, and feel like the sound matched what I was hearing on the record. There were all these guitarists whose playing had been a little mysterious to me, and I suddenly found it easier to incorporate aspects of their styles into my style through imitation. People like Robert Fripp, Mick Ronson, Tony Iommi, and particularly John McGeoch from Siouxsie and the Banshees, who played a Yamaha SG, which is why I bought one in the first place. It was an approach to the guitar that I’d been blind to my whole life because I had always played Strat-type instruments."

One night in 1984, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards indulged in alcohol in a bar in Amsterdam. In the early hours of the morning, Mick, swollen with ego and alcohol, picked up the phone, dialed Charlie Watts' room number and, seeing that the latter did not answer, began shouting in the hotel corridor demanding to see his drummer .

- WHERE IS MY DAMN DRUMMER?

Having learned of this strange and not at all serene situation, Charlie got out of bed, entered the shower, dressed in his suit, tied his tie and headed with the calm of an English gentleman towards the room where they were Keith and Mick, still quite drunk. He knocked on the door. Mick opened it and without saying a word, punched him in the face. Mick lay on the ground not understanding much, and Keith just looked at Charlie in bewilderment, asking him why he hit Mick. The answer was short, clear and direct:

- NEVER CALL ME YOUR DRUMMER AGAIN, YOU ARE MY FU***NG SINGER!

A Burst with Gold paint? Clean and lightweight 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard in excellent condition. The last incarnation of the Les Paul just before Gibson changed the color from Gold to Sunburst - or actually when they already produced Sunburst Les Pauls. The serial number 8 3833 is right in the range of the first 1958 „Bursts“ and makes this guitar technically a Burst with Gold paint. https://guitarpoint.de/product/1958-gibson-les-paul-standard-goldtop-clean/

This is nothing less than one of the first Fender Stratocaster guitars with a rosewood fingerboard and the then new „Greenguard“ in existence! A mid 1959 Fender Stratocaster in excellent condition. It still has the 50s body with the 54-59 „White-guard routing“ missing the small edge for the additional screw but it already has a „Greenguard“ with only 9 screw holes instead of 11. The guitar is in incredible clean condition, the hardware basically looks like new. https://guitarpoint.de/product/1959-fender-stratocaster-sunburst-super-rare-early-slabboard/
