Warning - tele content (how to look after your collection #2)

[Ian Price]

Here is John 5 and his guitar collection. I am very, very envious but respect that he is so into teles and obviously cares for the - pretty much the polar opposite of Malmsteens treatment of guitars:

Indeed! - surprisingly I do like John 5. Les Paul talks very highly of him and he also apparently spent a lot of his time playing with country players.

That's a nice collection. They're all too clean for my liking, I prefer my girls to have seen a bit of life!

Mr & Mrs 5 seem to have brought up a nice boy.

Mrs 5

*Cough*

There IS Mrs 5??? I've got the feeling that is not exactly like that... Unfortunatelly all Roo needs to keep swearing on tele players :lol:

He does seem a genuinely pleasant lad, alright.

Fair play to him.

Apart from his obsession with tele's.
i thought they didnt get it right the first time? hence the development of the strat, and the contours.
anyone see that long BBC documentary about the guitar. was pretty ok. obviously a lot of tele content in it.

The tele was originally designed as a studio instrument, not as one to be played live. Which is perhaps why it's dog ugly when you put it next to it's younger, more attractive sister.

John 5 is an awesome guitar player, more people need to hear his stuff outside of his work with Manson and Rob Zombie.

This is the (ex) Mrs 5 (or Mrs Lowery), "actress" and model Aria Giovanni.  I don't know what she thought about his Tele collection:

I think I should start having some gayish gesture, don't you? :lol:

With that hat on in your pic, I don't think you need to! ;)

You just know that he has a nickname for all of them and talks to them when there's no one else around.

And what's wrong with that?  :lol:

I didn't say there was anything wrong, but I felt a bit uneasy when he got that baby blue blanket ready to wrap up his Broadcaster. I was half expecting him to sing a lullabye and kiss it goodnight.
