John Frusciante's Fender Jaguar
Though they were already the critical darlings of college radio, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1992 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik catapulted the SoCal foursome to true superstardom. The disc was chock-full of classic Peppers' jams, but it was the ballad "Under the Bridge" that really set the stage for their eventual world domination. Guitarist John Frusciante channeled his inner Hendrix (specifically "Little Wing") for the tune's intro and chord pattern to craft an enduring classic. This '66 Fender Jaguar is the guitar he used in the video. It's currently on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Caracas, Venezuela.
