Brad Delson’s latest guitar discovery is this Masterbuilt 1962 Ultimate Relic Fender Stratocaster in coral pink (built by master builder Jason Smith). This Strat is owned by engineer/producer Ethan Mates and was one of the main guitars used in the studio while making The Hunting Party. Photo by Ethan Mates

On their latest album, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park aimed heavier. Guitarist Brad Delson tells us he was more inspired than ever with making his guitar sound insanely different.

Bonus: Check out the craziest-looking bass we’ve seen in a while.
