Fender John 5 Telecaster Customer Review
Quality:
Fit and finish were perfect, and intonation was spot on from the factory--it's hard to believe this is a Mexican made guitar (from all the bad reviews you read of Mexican-made Fenders).

Sound:
Great sounding guitar! Nice flexibility with the humbucker and the Twisted Tele single coil pickup.

Ease of Use:
Great feeling neck, and nice playing instrument. I second the other reviewer on the weight factor--this IS a heavy guitar, but I like that it feels solid and indestructible.

"Everyone in the store went "WOW" when they saw it....."
Feature:
Only trouble I found was getting a moulded case to fit !!!!! (I prefer the moulded to the supplied Deluxe Gig bag).

Quality:
Extremely well made..........may only critisism is it is a very heavy guitar !

Value:
For the money an excellent and different guitar. Looks are astounding with mirror finish pick guard and fittings against the jet Black finish.

Desirability:
Looks are astounding with mirror finish pick guard and fittings against the jet Black finish. Everyone in the store who saw it just went "WOW" !

Sound:
Excellent all round sound, very crisp and clean but can be overdriven. The choice of pick-ups is excellent - you can play a wide range of styles straight from the guitar with no effects !

Support:
Not had any problems.

Overall:
I will definatly wear this product out........
