Description

Over the course of nearly thirty years, John 5 has established himself as a premier guitarist, transitioning from a highly requested session musician to iconic tenures with Rob Zombie, Mötley Crüe, and David Lee Roth. As a devoted enthusiast and champion of the Telecaster, he developed this aggressively contemporary instrument to reflect his favorite aspects of the classic model while simultaneously venturing into innovative realms suitable for modern hard rock artists.

The Ghost Telecaster® demands attention with its bold arctic white finish and perfectly color-matched headcap, matching its striking aesthetic with powerful sonic aggression. This guitar is equipped with DiMarzio® D’Activator™ pickups at both the bridge and neck positions, providing the high-gain, high-output signature sound that John 5 favors, complete with searing clarity and a tight low-end response that cuts through any musical arrangement. To ensure the player stays fully connected to their performance, the instrument features a minimalist control scheme consisting solely of a killswitch and a single volume knob.

  • “C”-Shaped Maple Neck with 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard
