A signature model designed by a bonafide Tele freak!
John 5 takes the Telecaster places no one else has gone before, and the Squier J5 Telecaster Electric
Guitar is a double-bound beauty based on the frequently modified workhorse of a Telecaster guitar pieced together for him
by the folks at the Fender Custom Shop. The Squire J5 guitar has John 5's distinctive black and chrome look—an alder
body finished in gloss black, 22-fret maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and black painted headstock, a striking polished
stainless steel pickguard, and chrome hardware. The guitar's custom-designed humbucking pickups are operated via a unique
dual volume set up with the bridge pickup control in the front position and the neck pickup in the back position. John 5 prefers
this setup as he spends a majority of time giving the bridge pickup a workout. Using rapid movement of the 3-way toggle between
positions, you can get that signature "kill" effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full
up.
