Very impressive

Im a gibson man all the way. But John 5 is one of fav. guitarists. So i had to get one to see what it was about. Its such a piece of eyecandy. The humbucker is hot as well, and if you still want that bluesy/country twang sound then you still have the twisted tele neck pickup. I recommened this guitar to anyone who thinks they know what a telecaster should be.

J5 the best of the best

This was the first guitar that I was the first to own John has been my favorite guitarist for quite a while and I could have gotten any guitar but I love Tele's and love John5 so I got this. it's the best guitar I've ever played hands down. it has great tone and great looks and luckily i got it before it became more expensive.

John 5 Knows What He's Doing

I've always loved fender guitars and when i found out about the J5 Telecaster i freaked out. John 5 is my favorite guitarist ever, so this guitar had to be mine. The neck pickup is amazing for soloing and the look is awesome. I was cautious at first about the three on a side headstock, but as soon as i brought my guitar out people loved it, so its deffinetly a crowd pleaser. To wrap up this guitar i would say that it sounds great for country, metal, and soloing. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to sound great.

Best looking Tele I've Seen.

Well unfortunately I haven't been able to play because there isn't a store around me that has it in stock. However I have heard it used and it sounds amazing... The guitar is built just like any other tele so amazingly enough it still has the country twang even though it doesn't look it. John 5 actually uses a lock of Chicken Pickin type playing so it is not made for "metal". This tele has some cool features as well, its got two volume knobs, one per pickup, and then its got a 3 way selector right there as well. Plus its got the on/off switch right on the front of the body which can make a very cool effect if used correctly. The only feature I do not like is the headstock because its got the 3 tuners on top and bottom... which I guess is there because of the special groove in the headstock that is made for behind the nut bends, but thats just from looking at it as I have not played it. I really want to get this since its so cheap at 750 and I will probably definately get it when the price drops if it does...
