Josh Klinghoffer shopping for a Strat
Before the Red Hot Chili Peppers show at Allstate arena yesterday, guitarist Josh Klinghoffer stopped by Chicago Music Exchange looking for ’59 Fender Stratocaster with a rosewood fret board and a different neck than the ’58 he’s currently touring with. Dan Wean showed him our early pre-CBS Strat collection. As soon as he had the 1959 Sunburst Stratocaster in his hands he knew it was the one. He went into one of our amp rooms and returned telling us it was the “best guitar I’ve ever played”.

Cool stuff. Wonder if he was just saying that for the company, or if he really thought that it was the best guitar he's ever played. _________________ "Like" my band on Facebook!

I don't think Josh Klinghoffer can tell a lie. _________________ "but it dont have to be no turtle all the time..

This is Josh's second Coronado, right? I believe he has a Coronado XII that he plays Breaking The Girl. _________________

I might have to buy the Pittsburgh show soundboard just to see how that strat sounds. The difference between John's strats was like night and day. _________________ New EP "Self-Untitled" by the Many Faces of Dave

This is the strat he bought (as in the exact one in the video)
I wish I could buy a vintage Fender strat.. Damn, not many stores have these original Fenders. (At least in Holland) _________________ Ahoy, Rotterdam, 16 October 2011
