The J5 Telecaster has 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—John 5 says he prefers this setup because he spends much time giving the bridge pickup a workout.
Rapid toggling the upper-bout three-way pickup switch supposedly gives you 5’s signature “kill” effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full up.
