Guest bshuker Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 He's the dick from Marilyn Manson's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 John 5 was the guitarist for Marilyn Manson but now plays with Rob Zombie, although he does have his own solo albums. He mixes country style music with shred. He is a really down to earth bloke also, not like the usual arrogant shredder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Cool. I'm not a big MM fan, although one of the albums is really good, it could be anti christ superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbye Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The John 5 model isn't really about what he's done with manson (though thats where people know him from) its from his country metal stuff afterwards. Seriously, if you haven't heard any of his stuff its worth a listen just to hear some new takes on shredding. Love his other sig model too http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.john5.ru/img/0155500806v1_hi.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.john5.ru/0155500806_usa_j5_bigsby_tele.html&usg=__izUe0G2jlUNhJQJtZru68ZzdMgk=&h=3033&w=953&sz=1559&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=kNoS78Myyj2KOM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=47&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfender%2Bjohn%2B5%2Bbigsby%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 since my LP is broken I've been playing my tele a lot never realized how versatile they are...used to always think they were best for that 'twang' sound, but apparently not. was actually playing some kyuss... twang? wait..

Stiiv Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i'm not able to test these, so i'm asking you guys, which one to take Jim Adkins thinline or highway1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Good god the first one! LOOK AT IT It really depends though, they'll have quite different sounds. Perhaps you could listen to some sound samples? I imagine they would play alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i'm not able to test these, so i'm asking you guys, which one to take Jim Adkins thinline or highway1 The first one in a natural colour, or the second one with a maple fretboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning_October Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm not quite sure here, but the first one should have kind of a bigger, deeper sound, it being a semi-hollowbody. It will also allow you to play acoustically (I mean, it won't be exactly like an acoustic, but better than a full-on electric). The second would probably have something of a twangier sound due to the bridge pickup. In terms of looks, I can say that the sunburst Tele's are really nice in person (that's the one I have), but the first is also great, judging from the picture.

jonbye Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'd go for the adkins - I tried a squier custom ii and the duncan design p90s were phenomenal so the real deal would be even better. Additionally its a SET NECK - a very rare find with teles and it'd be nice to get more sustain out of a tele. Nice paint job too. Add the thinline I think this model could be one of those ones to really hold its value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*TC* Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 thinlines aren't incredibly louder than a normal solid body but they do have more to them. Like sometimes if I can't be bothered to get up and turn the plug on I'll just mess around with mine on unplugged and its loud enough to cover the scratching on the strings from a plec imo. I am big on maple necks but out of the two I'd still probably go with the thinline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
