1962 Sunburst Fender Strat Vintage?
i want a replica of john frusciante’s (from red hot chili peppers) 1962 fender strat (3 tone sunburst). it has a very beat-up vintage appeal to it & i love it. here’s a picture for what i mean by “beat-up” and “vintage” look:

by saying vintage, i am mainly talking about that beat up body & neck of the guitar with the worn out edges from natural (or synthetic for a strat to buy) wear and tear. the other vintage parts (pickguard, pickups, knobs, etc.) can be bought. i just need the actual body & neck. any suggestions on where i can find this guitar?
new guitars (unused) are fine along with vintage guitars. an exact replica of the john frusciante strat would, of course, be better.
10 points for best answer.
thanks guys.
Hello! From my perspective, you have a couple of realistic choices. First, you could purchase a 60’s “Road Worn” Fender Stratocaster (see http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0131010300
). These new guitars would be authentic and have that vintage appeal you seek (although not as “beat up” as John’s), but are expensive ($950 at Musician’s Friend, see http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-RoadWorn-60s-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar?sku=526796 ). A second approach would be to purchase a less-expensive Stratocaster (even a “blemish” or “factory second”, since you would not be concerned about marks), and treat it badly for awhile. Drag it behind you on the sidewalk, take some fine sandpaper (320 grit, or so) and remove some of the finish in strategic places, rub it across your belt buckle or even some gravel on the roadway (see http://www.revelatorguitarworks.com/images/FRUSCIANTE%20FENDER%20STRATOCASTER%20A53.jpg and http://www.yourforumisgluedtoasiteonfire.net/index.php?showtopic=2299&st=0&p=76399& for additional pictures); there are lots of ways to abuse it, without causing functional damage (sorry, I can’t offer additional methods, because the very thought of intentionally dinging up a guitar makes me cringe)! Neither of these approaches would yield an instrument that was exactly like the John Frusciante Stratocaster, but if you get it that badly marred, who would notice the difference (other than John or his avid fans!)? Best regards, Dana
