The Fender John 5 Telecaster is the signature model of shredder John 5, a hot-rodded Tele on a hefty double-bound ash body with a shaved maple neck, custom three-on-a-side headstock and twin volume controls with a toggle on the upper bout. It pairs an Enforcer humbucker in the bridge, voiced thick and crunchy with enhanced lows and mids for aggressive high-gain modern rock and metal, with a Custom Shop Twisted Tele single coil in the neck that keeps the classic bright, snappy Telecaster twang and spank. The heavy body yields excellent sustain. It bridges country twang and heavy metal, suiting players who switch between clean spank and high-gain crunch.
The Fender Telecaster 1953 'Nancy' is a classic single-cutaway electric guitar featuring a solid ash body with blonde finish, fretted maple neck with 21 frets and black dot position markers, and a 25 1/2 inch scale length. The guitar is equipped with two single-coil pickups (including distinctive Don Mare units on the legendary Roy Buchanan example), black bakelite pickguard, volume and tone controls, and string-thru-body design. The tone is bright and cutting with strong midrange presence ideal for country, rock, and blues lead work. The ash body construction and single-coil pickups contribute to the signature twang and clarity.
