Used 2019 Squier J5 John 5 Signature Telecaster Black With Case

If you're looking for a great deal on a Squier John 5 Signature Telecaster, which has been nicely modded and has a hardshell case to boot, you've found it here.  This is the version of the J5 that's no longer available and has been high in demand.  Dressed in black is a unique, high-octane guitar designed with rock legend John 5, bringing his famous Fender Custom Shop model look down to an affordable price point. Known for its stunning black-and-chrome aesthetic, this solidbody guitar features a sleek gloss black finish and a matching black headstock.  

John 5 is a self-described "Fender fanatic" with a jaw-dropping collection of his favorite instrument, the Telecaster ("the greatest guitars ever built, by far," in his words). His Squier signature model, the J5 Telecaster, is based on his oft-modded workhorse Telecaster.

The guitar has a double-bound alder body with a one-piece maple neck, topped with a matching black headstock.  It's easy to play with a Modern C profile and a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The custom configuration 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 prefers this because he spends much time giving the bridge pickup a workout). Rapidly toggling the upper-bout three-way pickup switch gives you his signature "kill" effect by turning off the neck pickup volume and leaving the bridge control full up.  Though originally released as a budget-friendly option, its high build quality and unique control setup have made it quite sought after by players.

This John 5 Tele in particular has several upgrades, with Seymour Duncan pickups, locking tuners, and a black pickguard.  

We just took this one in - it's clean, well taken care of, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  As mentioned, a hardshell case is included.  This is a serious score!
