USED - Squier J5 Fsr Telecaster

Superb condition with slight wear on bridge saddles

The J5 Telecaster is the latest addition to the more affordable Squier range by Fender. Made from an Alder body complimented by a Maple neck with 22 fret Rosewood fretboard, with a Frost Gold finish, gold hardware and matching painted headstock, this unique Tele stands out from all the rest.

Co-designed by John 5 himself, this limited edition gold, bound Tele is modeled on one of John's favourite guitars, along with adding his own personal flair to the instrument. 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 5's signature "kill" effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full up.
