John 5

In this video, John 5 talks about his signature Squier Telecaster, the Squier J5 Telecaster. At 1:40, he says, "The guitar is just like my main Telecaster exactly. I mean, the exact same neck. The pickups are different, but the exact same feel and it sounds incredible. I mean, you can't really tell the difference in the sound."

John 5 and Fender have produced a Custom John 5 Telecaster. It’s a “double humbucker rosewood Tele,” according to John 5 in this Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video at (0:23). “The white stripe here from the fender custom Teles and stuff like that back in the ’60s, and you know, [it’s a] great guitar,” John 5 says. The “toggle switch is moved up here for the little movement stuff, and regular Tele headstock, not like my models that I usually have.”

John 5 uses Dimarzio D Activator Bridge pickups in his main guitars, as said at 0:22 in this video: "It's been great. I love the pickups...I have the pickups in my main guitars, so anything you hear me playing is with these pickups."

Fits the body and it’s very light, and it sounds really, really good. I used to use this a lot during the last tour, but now, I’m just... I have it as a backup.”

John 5's Signature Drive pedal

"Earlier this year, John lent us his great talents for some video demos spotlighting the DA-2 Adaptive Distortion, TE-2 Tera Echo, and MO-2 Multi Overtone pedals, and his eclectic playing truly shows off the wide range of expressive tones made possible by BOSS’ innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing. He was really taken by the incredible clarity that the DA-2 delivers, so much so that he’s given it a permanent home alongside other BOSS stomps in his pedalboard."
