Wasn't that album recorded with a Jag? Or was it just under the bridge?

 

You could stick Jag pickups in it. Or since Jag and Strat pups are very simular, the Jag pickups are just a tad hotter with the added claws and I think another difference, you could wire it with two 1Meg pots to brighten the guitar up to Jag territory.

I believe the jag was just used for the video as the director of the vid didn't want a beat up strat in the vid but I may be wrong on that. I'm pretty dead certain a strat was used to record it though (or most of it)

The album or the song? I'd recommend fuzz plus tone know rolled far down. Bareknuckle pickups do a set called mother's milk, check the specs on those and see what matches on GFS
:thu:

 

My bad, the album :D

 

Yeah bareknuckles are great but sadly expensive :(

I thought I read that it was a Fender Jag. He definitely played a Strat live though. I think it sounded great on the album, yet you can hear some string buzz on many of the tracks. Perhaps, the action was super low or maybe it needed a fret job.

throwing yourself into actually practicing instead of throwing money will solve your problem. oh I forgot, todays cheat code generation doesn't want to hear that. you know what just get guitar hero. that way all you have to do is press a button and you'll have the sound instantly.

 

WUT?!

 

Damn man who shoved the monkey up your ass today? Just because I asked about a certain sound I like and want I'm suddenly a cheat and need to throw myself into practicing.

Um. Hell No. He used a Jag heavily during his early career. He still has some Jags and used them as his "warm up" guitars later in his career and used Strats live. The use of the Jag in the video was not a superficial image thing that the director demanded. Frusciante likes Jaguars.

 

Here is a thread about the Jag. A heavily yellowed Lake Placid Blue Jaguar.

While the whole album might have not been with the Jaguar. Under The Bridge certainly is. I've seen him use a red Jag live also I believe.
