Squier release John5 Telecaster

Now this is awesome. The man who makes me love chicken pickin'... no not Satriani, but John 5, has just released a new Squier version of his awesome Telecaster range. It's called the Squier J5 - original isn't it!!!

The video above is the bog standard Squier with just a string change. Otherwise it is straight out of the box. A quick search online has also show that the people with these already are going ga-ga over the quality and wormanship. That is great news to here from a "budget" guitar.

I sure wouldn't mind one of these. The only electric Fenders I tend to like are the Telecasters.

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.
