OT: Fender's "Black Beauty" !? Fender "John 5" Telecaster

I think this piece of fender "JOHN 5" Triple Tele Deluxe is damn cool.

I concur, would look better with a bigsby though.

The John 5 tele are very cool, but I hate the price.

Can't always get what you want.

It certainly suits his image I suppose. It looks cool but not for me. I understand he is a great guitarist. Too bad he has all that Image to keep up. What do they go for?

I've never liked those big pickguards on Teles (like on the Deluxe), but that one doesn't look half bad.

I don't really like the Marilyn Manson band as well as John 5 himself. But i think this type of telecaster is really one of it's kind. Haha.. but it no longer serves the way a telecaster should be.. the 2 single coil pups.

However, I still think it's damn cool

When did Epi start making those !? Fender wouldn't make a tele like that ! Not want I consider a tele at all.

2008, Gibson started discontinuing a bunch of models, so that's the new Epiphone Les Paul Standard, complete with a bunch of fancy electronics you don't want/need.
