Squier by Fender John 5 Telecaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the J5 Squier Telecaster with really low expectations, not to be picking on Squier by any means, but I wasn't expecting what I got. This guitar flat-out rocks!!!! I opened it up expecting it to need a full setup but I was pleasantly surprised - it didn't - it was barely out of tune and when I plugged it in and slammed a power chord.........my hair blew back!!! I have several guitars and since I have had the J5 Squier, I find myself reaching for it more often than not and I'm a Strat guy for the most part. Squier and John 5 really have done a fantastic job here and for the price, this is just a steal. The only dig I can find is that there's no tone control, both knobs are volume and they are basically either off or on, not much control but that can be changed. I just plain love this guitar and can't praise its virtues enough. If you're looking for an inexpensive guitar with huge tone, then what are you waiting for? Order the Squier John 5 Telecaster right now!

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, which was pieced together at the Fender Custom Shop. Features include John 5's distinctive black-and- chrome look-a double-bound alder body with a gloss black polyester finish, a polished stainless steel pickguard and chrome hardware. The one-piece maple neck has a modern C shape, a matching black Telecaster headstock and a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets.The custom-designed humbucking pickups use a special dual-volume setup with the bridge pickup control in the front position and the neck pickup control in the back position (5 prefers this setup because he spends much time giving the bridge pickup a workout). Rapid toggling the upper-bout three-way pickup switch gives you 5's signature 'kill" effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full up.
