Large View
J5 Bigsby® Telecaster®

The J5: Bigsby Telecaster guitar, co-designed by shred-meister John 5 himself, is a modern-day classic. Its unusual three-on-a-side headstock tops a shaved maple neck (for behind-the-nut bends) with a rosewood fingerboard bolted onto a double-bound premium ash body.

The J5: Bigsby is equipped with a Seymour Duncan® Hot Rails™ humbucking pickup at the bridge and a Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele™pickup at the neck, plus a Bigsby-licensed vibrato system.
