Love all of 'em!! John 5 is an absolute God on the instrument!! You can hear his influences in his playing!! Thanks for sharing Mr. 5, and thanks PG for the video upload!!!
He's probably one of the most prolific hard working guitarists in the rock industry tbh. He started out as a session musician in LA and the got a break on a David Lee Roth album, then he joined Marilyn Mason and Rob Zombie which is probably the work he's most famous for but he's worked with a lot of big names in rock. He's one of these 'behind the scenes' but suuuuuuper respected guys. Incredible guitarist.
@@rianpuckett8540 kirk w esp around 96 i believe. Its shown in the live DVD cunning stunts. And it didn't end up being piss inside Kirk's, he too put lava lamp stuff.
Who knew that a lucite chamber filled with flourescent green antifreeze and oil made such great tonewood! I've seen him play it live at Shank Hall and it sounded just fine.
Chet Atkins would give him a CGP Honor, no doubt. I would love to hear him play some alt/melodic/floydian styles, even old school 70's country. We are proud of him in Detroit. Local boy, done good !
I don’t think my opinion of someone has changed as much as it has for this guy, he went from wtf is up with this dude to one of the coolest and most down to earth articulate guys out there to me. And crazy talented.
@@kalypso4133 it' affects the tone sure, just such a negligible amount that using any signal processing basically negates it. Tonewoods are guitar snobbery for the majority of time. That said, I prefer the look and weight of most of the tonewoods that are preferred so I end up with guitars built from them despite not buying into their value from a musicality point of view. It'd be disingenuous to sell someone a tonewood guitar and say it "sounds better" for example.
@@NeesyPlaysGuitar I'm not the one who needs the explanation. Tone wood acts almost like it's part of an EQ. Different woods, materials of the neck, different strings, pickups, are all gonna make a guitar sound different. 'tone wood sounds better' is subjective and would not really be used for advertising from a real company not selling knock offs.
@@proprietary1 not sure it was zombie, disturbed, and pop evil. They had a female drummer for this tour (pop evil) not the original and I think she was new to the band.
When he asked the interviewer if he went blind after he showed those lights on the guitar... dude even i got blinded and i'm watching the video at home lol
Most signature models and custom shop jobs (all brands) are so close to stock guitars you can just mod yourself. This guy has the right idea, just go completely left field and get the craziest thing, super dope
John 5 is a guitar genius. He can play anything. Name a song and he will play it. On top of that, he writes songs with intricate moves all over the fret board. He's up there with Yngwie Malmstein.
Of course they (we) are. I mean, in a different style, but look at all the more recent trendy brand of guitars, you definitely see a lot more crazier designs in the past 5 years than we have seen the 30 before that.
Jonn 5 in my opinion is by far The greatest guitar player I’ve seen in a very very long Time, a lot of The stuff he does is so mind blowing, he’s The guitar player now ThaTs reinventing the instrument, he’s so original and groundbreaking with his technique, can’t wait to see what the future holds for this guy!!
Man, I remember seeing this video many years ago from you guys. Cool to watch again. A certain someone must be reminiscent over that young, brown hair! 😂
Waited for months to see John 5 and Jared James Nichols. The night they finally rolled into town I had to work late and didn’t have time to eat before I hit the venue. The people I was with were drinkers. Me, not so much. I was absolutely loaded by the time John 5 hit the stage. I made it about halfway through his set, and don’t remember that half I saw.
Man, I remember idolizing John 5 when I was in junior high. I’m 32 now and it cracks me up what a total cheese ball he is 😂 great fucking musician, though.

Me "hey John, got any Teles?"
John 5 "yeah sure, hold my tele."
How many times in a row can someone just say "Fender did this for me " haha legend . weird legend .
Take a shot each time John says "you know"
If you watch interviews with angus young you can do the same thing
IM FUACKONG WASTEDEDW
37 times in total, on the metal one he really lost it.
You'd be dead! lol
I am dead.
Mad respect for John 5, what great guitar player and music lover. His guitars are insanely cool! Thanks for posting!
"This is an LED Fend-"
*flashbangs*
I love what guitar nerd John 5 is. Always enjoy his interviews. Dude wails on guitar too.
warnerww83 yeah he’s great! I put him in one of my Underrated Guitar Players videos
@@GearGasms Share that list with Us PAL.
I have seen J5 in concert 3 times and opened for him once. The shows are phenomenal. Such a hot ticket and a pleasure to talk to.
Nobody cares.
@@whocares8735 bruh why you being a dick, he's got a cool story he's sharing, I'd share it too.

I will never forget seeing that lava Tele in the beginning. I was 12 at Mayhem fest in Tampa. And it was John 5s birthday! Awesome show.
Love all of 'em!! John 5 is an absolute God on the instrument!! You can hear his influences in his playing!! Thanks for sharing Mr. 5, and thanks PG for the video upload!!!
idk who this guy is but that was genuinely interesting and he seems pretty decent

Well get a good look, this man is a living legend!
He's John4's kid, come on! I can't believe how many people don't give famous people's kids the time of day. 💩
@@joeyskar nice try though...
@@777-p2t kek 🤣
interviewer: any specific tones you pick out of this tele over others?
John: this one sounds incredible. that one sounds awesome.
John 5 has some of the coolest telecasters i wonder if he would ever have a plasma ball telecaster?
John found the fountain of youth
Amazing musician, total guitar nerd and seems like a top dude! 🤘🏻
Me: *sees de lava lamp tele*
Me instantly thinking: “Hey that’s Kirk Hammett’s piss guitar!”
Lol I own one
who did it first?
@@rianpuckett8540 kirk w esp around 96 i believe. Its shown in the live DVD cunning stunts. And it didn't end up being piss inside Kirk's, he too put lava lamp stuff.
@@brianc1889 lmao was metallica so interested in bodily fluids in the 90s
You know, guitars. A lot of them, you know.
That look of death when the interviewer mentions les pauls is priceless
"correct like the tele deluxe" I love him so much can't knock him cuz I'm die hard for my teles too 😭😭😭
I was so shocked by the black hair lmao
Terry Gunnell yes he’s a former Just For Men victim like myself! 😜
This was just a few of the craziest Telecasters shown in the 2013 rig rundown from BEFORE he went gray
That's not him
Who knew that a lucite chamber filled with flourescent green antifreeze and oil made such great tonewood! I've seen him play it live at Shank Hall and it sounded just fine.
I have one , try playing country through it Hahahaha! I played mine for approximately ONE set , and retired it back to it’s case. Lolol
Wow, those guitars are very unique. They belong in a museum some day

...a metal tele, a plastic tele filled with antifreeze, a bowling ball tele...but I thought tone came from wood!! LOL!
“Tone wood is BS.”
- John 5 probably
it's not BS. It is all down to personal preference though.

He said "you know" like a thousand times
John is always a cool guy with people. I always check out his stuff.
Saw him with rob zombie a few years ago. Fucking epic. He walked around the crowd just lighting that shit up. Legend
Return of the dreads tour?
@@proprietary1 not sure it was zombie, disturbed, and pop evil. They had a female drummer for this tour (pop evil) not the original and I think she was new to the band.

J5 sounds like Dennis Miller. Paul Gilbert sounds like Dave Letterman. I really need to get out of the house.
I know that feeling you know
His eyes are as amazing as his musical gift.
Most signature models and custom shop jobs (all brands) are so close to stock guitars you can just mod yourself. This guy has the right idea, just go completely left field and get the craziest thing, super dope
One of the most underrated underappreciated guitar players out there the dude is phenomenal you can play anything genre of music
one from every year, he must have around 70

Could you imagine have a Tele from every year? INSANE!
Dedication. Joe Bonamassa on the other hand is a collector of all fine things.
Lmao that led tele shocked the hell out me in my dark room
"idk of that's reading on your camera"
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*
You know, quicksilver has some pretty cool guitars
Lol
Heavy metal green glowing guitar... I must have it!
I swear to god (if there's one) that I was listening to his solo albums when got this notification! 😁👍
The lava lamp one is entirely too cool. I want a strat version.
So jealous, those axes are incredible! 🔥
His collection makes me want to keep building and selling my crazy guitar ideas. Because maybe people are still into crazy guitars?🤔
Of course they (we) are. I mean, in a different style, but look at all the more recent trendy brand of guitars, you definitely see a lot more crazier designs in the past 5 years than we have seen the 30 before that.
He sounds like someone showing off their LEGO collection 🤣🤣 love John 5!

2:32 “it’s like a buck 5”
Buck 50 thank you very much
Hope to own a fender tele some day
Kirk hammet has a guitar like that
Didn't know John 5 was such a cool and chill guy.
At first I read the title as "John 5 and his wildest Testes "
Boy oh boy now that I’d like to see
Came for the lava guitar, left after the lava guitar 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I remember seeing this video many years ago from you guys. Cool to watch again. A certain someone must be reminiscent over that young, brown hair! 😂
I love those creations, the antifreeze 👍
Now... I need this guitar ! Omg 😮
Roy Clark was a MASTER! John knows what's up. :D
You know!
Very cool one-of-a-kind collection.
The signature John 5 tele is the best god dam tele ever made, better than the classics
Dude this guy has wicked guitars
I've played guitar for 25 years and never liked Fender, but these are really nice.
Waited for months to see John 5 and Jared James Nichols. The night they finally rolled into town I had to work late and didn’t have time to eat before I hit the venue.

Love the Buck Owens type tele! I want one!
This guy is great! Anyone that rocks like he does and has a guitar in memory of hee-haw is okay in my book.
John actually went like- hold my tele
I agree 100% Mister 5 ... those guys over at Fender, definitely got their shiff together.
"This one is cool, it's a meeeeeer"
Great custom guitars! Cheers!!
The more I see of John 5 the more I like him. Loves guitar and seems so unpretentious
He dont love guitars.. He loves Tele. :)
Lol friggin hee-haw? Shout out to roy clark! If you play and dont know of him then look him up right now.
Not a big John 5 fan but those guitars are awesome.
All nice Guitar’s 👍🏻👍🏻
I would bow down and worship john 5 for that lava lamp tele
For a second I was expecting fish to be swimming around in there.
Love john 5 super cool guy and badass artist
this dude is just straight up interesting.
The depth of field makes this look like it's greenscreened
It would've been nice to see the entire video here.
Unreal!
I love that lava guitar
Like the buck Owens tribute look shout out from Bakersfield RIP buck
John is such a cool mello guy.
So much tone 🤣
what a cool dude.
Seems like a nice guy
The Buck 5 is dope
I wonder if John programmed the lead guitar to do New York Groove given that he's a huge Kiss fan
Man, I remember idolizing John 5 when I was in junior high. I’m 32 now and it cracks me up what a total cheese ball he is 😂 great fucking musician, though.
just a wild guess here but I think John might like teles
Thats wild
I can't believe the Lava tele has coolant in it
The LED tele is most likely inspired by the Ace Frehley LED Les Paul
"You Know"
~John 5
~Jim Root
So true. Is it weird that I barely notice with John 5 but it bothers me a lot nore with Jim Root?
how many he said "you know" ? 😂
Not gonna lie I’m a sucker for that lava guitar. I want one and if they can make it light. Hopefully not as heavy as my Les Paul.
2013? Are you kidding?
That lava lamp guitar is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen, not gonna lie.
John 5, a guitarist's guitarist.
If he's not a 90s Will Ferrell character then I don't know what is
Shout out to Hee Haw, I used to watch that with my grandpa
