Hey!

I need help identifying my Telecaster. It´s bought privately without any papers or information.
Here´s some really bad pictures:

I´ve figured out that it´s made in Mexico in 97-98, but I would like more info. The seller informed me the pickups are custom, and that they´re tweaked to being really "hot" - whatever that means.. :)
What kind of wood is the neck made of?

Thanks
Jon, Norway

That's a MIM John5 Signature Telecaster (J5 Sigs come from many series, from Squier to MIM to MIA to CS).

Maple neck, rosewood fretboard.

Tweaked pickups - well, that can mean anything, from adjusting the height to switching magnets and rewinding to whatever.
Hot just means more output > more volume > more distortion.

And if you allow a personal opinion, damn that headstock is fugly. Akkurat. :mrgreen:

Guys! Thanks a lot, and forgive me for being late on the thanking. Forgot about this for some time now :)

Good to know what this thing is, and what its made of.
You´re allowed to say whatever you want :)
