Dave Mail 51: Frusciante, the strenght and respect for his instruments

John used to be very wild playing the guitar. Did he break his guitars a lot? Do you have any anecdotes about this?

Dave Lee: "This is a very good question. Although John played his instruments "hard", he still respected them. Even if he got mad and dropped one. Somehow there was rarely any damage. Aside from an occasional bent tuner, or broken tremolo arm. No real "damage" other than normal wear and tear. People are often surprised by that. He was very good at playing hard, without damaging his guitars. This may sound surprising. But I do more "repairs" to Adam Levine's guitars than John's."
