Description

Spanning nearly thirty years, John 5’s career has seen him rise from an in-demand session musician to a global guitar icon renowned for his historic tenures with Rob Zombie, Mötley Crüe, and David Lee Roth. As a dedicated Telecaster devotee, he channeled his lifelong passion into the creation of this instrument, which honors the classic design while boldly evolving the platform to meet the needs of contemporary hard rock guitarists.

The Phantom Telecaster makes a powerful statement with its striking black finish and matching headcap, pairing a fierce aesthetic with equally aggressive sound. It features DiMarzio® D'Activator™ pickups at both the neck and bridge, providing the massive high-gain output and defined low-end characteristic of John 5’s signature tone, all while maintaining sharp clarity across any mix. For those demanding wild pitch shifts and dive-bombs, the integrated Floyd Rose® FRTS2000 Special Series tremolo ensures precise performance without sacrificing tuning integrity. To keep the player fully immersed in their craft, the guitar utilizes a streamlined control scheme consisting only of a single volume knob and a killswitch.
