“This is one of the first, my first John 5 model,” the Rob Zombie guitarist explains at (4:22). “It has the cool Bigsby on it, twisted Tele, hot rail pickup, and you know, I use it a lot too, and it’s got the cool headstock on here, and you know, this is one of the first ones. This is what I had on the cover of Vertigo and I do a lot of pictures with this guitar. It sounds great. I did all the Marilyn Manson songs with that guitar and [it’s] a great-sounding guitar.”
