John is one of the most popular requested pickup duplication requests I get. A lot of people ask about Jimmi and Eric a lot but John is right there with them
Very interesting topic! I agree it would be sooo cool to see the jag live. 😍 Also miss the Falcon! I'm kinda curious what white strat John used at the Jazz Fest.
i just checked, looks like he picked himself up another 60s strat... a nice worn one... man's been a rockstar for 30 years, i bet he's got a fat collection of 60s strats
@@Vigi i feel like i've seen it before but not sure. i think next time they release an album i'll try to figure out when they're having a small show and go see them.. i can dream
I heard that it was one of Jimi's strats that someone loaned to him for the gig. It would make sense because if you look closely it has a strap button on the bottom horn i.e. it was played lefty
the white strat is a refin he rented in south america and then bought off of whoever he rented it from. I believe Rock n Rio 2001 was where it first showed up.
I feel the exact same way about the white falcon. And honestly, the end of “white braids“ really threw me because I thought I heard a Bigsby, but the Jaguar makes perfect sense. Great video as always.
I don’t think it was a loaner. I believe Vincent Gallo picked this guitar out for him as he did with some others. See here: It's a 1955 Gretsch White Falcon, John found this guitar through Vincent Gallo, and the inspiration for it supposedly comes from Matthew Ashman who played one in his new wave band “BowWowWow”, and also from Malcolm Young who played a similar model with AC/DC. “ He [Vincent Gallo] found me a lot of things. At this point he’s found me pretty much a whole recording studio! As far as guitars go, he’s found me my 1955 Gretsch White Falcon, which is the nicest guitar I have, I think. “
BtW guys if you haven't seen the Ryan Hewitt interview talking about UL a couple months ago, It's on youtube and great. IT talks about JOhn basically being the engineer, amongst other things like recording the 48 tracks. I forget the channel but it's a studio channel, give it a search!
SG2000 most likely. the late 70s models were done with the fancy inlays, push / push pull split coil humbuckers, and a brass block under the tail piece. the 1500s had dot inlays, no push/pull, and a chrome block. HOWEVER the 1500s were redesigned in the 80s to include the neck inlays so it really is a toss up.
@@darkomac3663 i don't know but i heard that surprisingly it didn't belong to him so he gave it back. That info comes from a french vintage guitar dealer. I wondered if it's not Gallo, the person who found that guitar for him but apparently it's not him. The sg les paul custom was sold though.

For me, the Tele will always be the Parallel universe Guitar live at Slane.
or mostly common on by the way album😃
I always think of it for Get On Top in Yokohama 04
Sad to hear the Falcon is gone. In an interview once John said that it was the most beautiful sounding guitar he has ever played.
It was my favourite John Guitar

The Fiesta Red Jaguar is the holy grail and also at the end of white braid & yellow chair track😍
Absolut my fav!
Loved the video about John’s strat. I would love to see a series about his gear like that vid
Would love to see a vid on the 55 strat!

JF's White Falcon never had a bigsby or any kind of trem
SG2000 for sure, inlays and binding. Would like a ‘55 Strat video 🤟😎🍻🔥🔥🔥
Do a video on all of his Strats please! Thankyou for all of the vids
The SG1500 doesn’t haven’t a brass plate in it which makes it lighter, and in an old interview John said he had a green 1500.
Interesting!
And it’s because he’s a fan of John McGeoch
I'm fair convinced that
IS the purplish Yamaha SG2000, the vagaries of colour temperature etc...
Great video, well deduced!
Best regards from the UK 🍀
HE used that tele alot during jazzfest, at least 5 songs.
Rumor has it the White Falcon is gone. It supposedly was on (very long term) loan to John.

Definitely wanna see the amps. Great video !
Hell yea, can't wait. LOve the rags
The Olympic white is a 61 you can tell because of the clay inlays
White falcon is sold allegedly

'55 and the Olympic white '63 please and thank you!
I’m surprised no les Paul
Is it just me or does modern fiesta red and vintage fiesta red look a lot different?

Californicated... One lucky mutherfucker purchase ...
It was never his.
Vid on the White strat Frusciante used on the jazz fest show??,)
No Gretsch White Flacon this album :(
I miss it
I wonder what happened to the White Falcon
Heard it came back to his original owner.
@@limoncr5205 who is it do you know?

@@limoncr5205 Is that info from Matt‘s Guitar Shop?
@@limoncr5205 I saw him play it live on stage in san diego in July of 2022
Pls do a video on Johns 60s Telecaster! ✨🤟
Cool
cool video thx ...yes, please do the amps 😉
Does anyone know what kind of strap that frusciante uses in unlimited love? I want it so bad
🤟
John put a back cover on his main strat. Wonder why
It’s a hum cancelling plate, can’t remember the brand but that’s the purpose
@@alexv7710 hum canceling plate? You mean like a regular plate or some “special” hum cancel thing?
It's called ILITCH hum canceling system. He mentioned it in an interview.
RIP
gretsch white falcon
Shame the Jaguar hasn’t seen much action, nor White Pillows
Ok cool video but 💯🔥 shirt 👍
I think the Tele sounds best ,,live ,
