Rig Rundown: Red Hot Chili Peppers [2017]

See how the extensive live setups used by Flea and Josh Klinghoffer have morphed since their 2012 I'm with You tour.

Here is Klinghoffer’s ’74 Fender Strat with a hardtail bridge that is referred to as “Gus” after King Gustav of Sweden because he acquired it in the “Land of the Midnight Sun.” A recent trip to the Fender Corona factory proved that this guitar should’ve never left the builder’s workbench because the neck was impossibly thin, however, Josh prefers this neck profile for all of his custom Strat builds.
