John 5 and Fender Custom Shop

Here's a cool clip of John 5 getting his "baby" modded with a humbucker - a good peek behind the scenes.

Notice the "nervous parent" mood that he's in. :D

That was pretty cool! The more I see about John 5, the more I like him. I was initially turned off because I can't stand Manson. A psychologist would have a field day with the way he was holding on to that neck for dear life while the routing was going on.

Thanks man! I'm a HUGE John 5 fan. Forget what he looks like... the guy can rip. I love how he's so diverse in his playing style. His mixture of bluegrass, rock, classical, etc. is so fresh IMHO.
