A Wild Workhorse Instrument
John 5 is a self-described "Fender fanatic" with a jaw-dropping collection of his favorite instrument, the Telecaster-"the greatest guitars ever built, by far," in his words. His Squier signature model, the J5 Telecaster, is a double-bound beauty based on his oft-modded workhorse Telecaster that appears on his myriad recordings. Eye-catching and thick-sounding, this is a beast of a guitar.
Frost Gold with gold hardware
Modern "C"-shaped neck profile
Custom-designed humbucking pickups
Special dual-volume control setup
Matching headstock
Double-bound body
White Double Binding
For an especially refined look, the J5 Telecaster features elegant white binding on the top and bottom of its toneful alder body.
Three-way Pickup Switch
The three-way pickup switch mounted on the upper bout of the J5 Telecaster selects between bridge pickup alone, both pickups at once or neck pickup alone for a wealth of tonal variation.
Modern Neck with "C"-shaped Profile
This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a smooth back finish-ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck.
