Quality Assurance

In spite of all the precautions taken by manufacturers, few instruments are ready to be sold right out of the box. You can take peace of mind knowing that every instrument has been unboxed, set-up and tested by a professionally trained technician. This is how we are able to guarantee excellent playing condition.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.

Features include 5s 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 profile, 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). Rapidly toggling the upper-bout three-way pickup switch gives you 5s signature kill effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full up.

Now also available in an all-gold model with Frost Gold finish, matching gold headstock, gold hardware and single-ply gold mirror plastic pickguard.
