The Fender J5 Telecaster is John 5's signature model Telecaster, and was designed in part by John 5 himself. The prototype built by Fender Custom Shop Artist Relations representative Alex Perez has served as John 5's main guitar since around 2003. The standard features that differentiate John 5's Telecasters from the traditional Telecaster design include dual volume controls instead of both a volume and tone control, a three-way toggle switch mounted through the upper bout, chrome pickguard, and a specially shaped headstock.

Variants

Throughout the years there have been several versions of the J5 Tele, these include:

Custom Shop Models

Made at the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California, USA.

Artist Series Models

Made in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Squier Model

Made in China under the Squier brand as a more budget conscious variant.
