It looks like his eyebrows are present in the pictures two posts above yours, actually. There wouldn't be much difference were they there or not, as they his hair is really that light.

Actually I think the Delonge was a great guitar - there was no other Mexican Deluxe-Series Strat hardtail being made by Fender at the time. It also had S-S-H routing under the pickguard (the later Squier didn't though) so even people who despised the idea of a power-pop-punk bar-chord player could get the guitar (in cool colors too!), replace the pickguard with 3 singles, and you've got a great hardtail Strat. Too bad I figured that out at the end when they had discontinued them and the prices started creeping up...

I listened to it once, and, oh shit! i bought it too!  anyway, he definetly has the speed, and technical knowhow, but hwat i really appreciate about his record is that he plays with a sense of humor, ie, ending folky country tracks with shredding/feedback outros, dropping in "good time" licks into thrash pieces, i dunno, definetly worht the dollar i paid for it.
I prefer their older stuff.

i aggre with the delonge thing completly considering that it has almost nothing on it to begin with its great for modding and you dont need to like the band to like the guitar i almost bought one off ebay but found something better (scecter c-1 elite) but then again this is comming from a huge power pop punk lover  (sorry) so you guys might think diffrently and theres nothing wrong with that at all its good to have diffrences and im completly aware that my music is simple and easy and takes almost no skill but who ever said it had to be complacated to be good ha WELL theres my rant of the day :P ;D :D
still havent thought of a signature

metal kids love it, just for its metally looks, but "that dude from marylin manson plays one just like it!" makes it like a pro axe.  The models that cost 600 bucks are what sells, the more expensive ones are there to make the kids feel like theyre getting in on a great deal, even though it might be cooler to have the more expensive one. 


great solo stuff, and with marylin manson and now with the zombie.

I would never ever buy one of his signature guitars, however.

I'm not into his music at all, but John 5 is undoubtedly a great player - he can do shred, country, and lots of other stuff too. I played one of the bigsby J5's once, and it was killer - i REALLY wanted it, but there was no way I could ever afford it.


plus, he played guitar on the baywatch theme!

Am I missing something here?? Whay in the hell does he have a signature model guitar. That's like Les Paul having a signature model golf club. Is he (Keifer) in a band that I don't know about. Could be, but that is still kinda weird.
