Red Hot Chili Peppers Signed Guitar Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith etc. – COA BAS

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock and psychedelic rock. The band consists of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante. With over 80 million records sold worldwide, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best-selling bands of all time. They are the most successful band in the history of alternative rock, with the records for most number-one singles (13), most cumulative weeks at number one (85) and most top-ten songs (25) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.  They have won six Grammy Awards, and in 2012 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In July 2009, John Frusciante left the Red Hot Chili Peppers, though no announcement was made until December 2009. Frusciante explained on his Myspace page that there was no ill feeling about his departure this time, and that he wanted to focus on his solo work. In October 2009, the Chili Peppers entered the studio to begin writing their tenth studio album, with Josh Klinghoffer replacing Frusciante.

In January 2010, the Chili Peppers, with Klinghoffer on guitar, made their live comeback in January 2010, paying tribute to Neil Young with a cover of “A Man Needs a Maid” at MusiCares. In February, after months of speculation, Klinghoffer was confirmed as Frusciante’s replacement.

Presented is a guitar that was autographed by The Red Hot Chili Peppers during the time Josh Klinghoffer was with the band. Four of the Chili Peppers signed the pick guard of the guitar in black felt tip (“9”) including Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer. The electric guitar is a two tone Squire Fender Bullet Strat. This originates from a promotion director at KOMP Radio here in Las Vegas. The famous rock band signed the guitar back in at one of their events.
