Get John 5's Distinctive Signature Tele!

If you crave a signature Tele with monster tone and impressively distinctive looks, then grab this one! The Fender Custom Shop worked closely with shred icon John 5 to create the J5:HB Telecaster. This axe is made to meet the fantastic fret-blaster's demands, from its gleaming chrome pickguard to its humbucker/single-coil pickup configuration to its wild 3-on-a-side headstock. You get individual volume controls for each pickup, and a 3-way selector that's mounted on the upper bout. This Tele's imperiously impressive looks are more than matched by the great tones you get from it!



Co-designed by iconic guitarist and Tele lover John 5, the J5:HB Telecaster brims with the big tone and amazing playability you'd expect from such a signature guitar. You get a high-output Enforcer humbucker in the bridge position, while a Fender Custom Shop "Twisted" Tele single-coil sits in the neck slot. Individual volume controls means you can blend the pickups to your taste or switch between different volume levels — a perfect way to explore your amp's response to your playing dynamics! The premium ash body gives you the resonance you're looking for, while the J5:HB Telecaster's rosewood-topped maple neck plays like a dream. You want the goods? This guitar delivers them!
