John is a self-described “Fender fanatic” with a jaw-dropping collection of his favorite instrument, the Telecaster (“the greatest guitars ever built, by far, hands down,” he said).
This latest edition from Squier is a double bound beauty based on his ever evolving, frequently modded work horse of a Telecaster pieced together by the folks at the one and only Fender Custom Shop.
Features include his distinctive black and chrome look - an Alder body finished in gloss black, 22 fret Maple Neck with a Rosewood fingerboard and black painted head cap, a striking polished stainless steel Pickguard and chrome hardware. Operate the custom designed humbucking pickups via a unique dual volume set up with the Bridge pickup control in the front position and the Neck pickup control in the Back position – John prefers this set up as he spends a majority of time giving the Bridge pickup a workout. In addition, via rapid movement of the three-way toggle switch between positions, that signature “kill” e ffect can be obtained by turning o ff the Neck pickup volume and leaving the Bridge control full up!
