Why John 5 Plays The Least Metal Guitar for Metal

[@DominickChirchirillo]

I play punk rock music and use a standard telecaster. I love the sound of it.

[@LeonLandgren-qt9pg]

Fender works for everything with the right humbucker or hot single coil. It does not matter as much as youd think its how well you play that matters.

Absolutely ! I own a tele. And while I have not (yet) modified the bridge pickup. As I'm still playing with amps, pedals and presets with in modulating software. You can easily drop in a 1/4, 1/2 or humbucker mod and your there. We're all chasing tone !~

John 5's Tele is like a Les Paul. It has two humbuckers. So it is no ordinary tele. Perhaps a coincidence that the great Mick Mars used a Kramer Telecaster for metal? Take a listen to Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Wild Side, etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/annMmZqba6t5jNkfeature=shared

He’s playing through humbuckers on a telecaster then through a huge amp. The Tele helps of coarse but those humbuckers play tjr biggest part
