Dave Navarro was originally influenced by early 80's hard rock guitarists 
like Eddie Van Halen and later specifically by Daniel Ash (which is probably 
why I like his style a lot).  During the Jane's Addiction 2001 tour, Navarro 
played on a exact copy of Eddie Van Halen's stripped "Frankenstrat" guitar 
on a couple songs.
