Product Description
Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster Electric Guitar – Arctic White
The Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster is a signature electric guitar designed in collaboration with John 5, known for his work with David Lee Roth, Mötley Crüe, and Rob Zombie. Combining the classic Telecaster body shape with modern high-output electronics and distinctive styling, the Ghost Telecaster is built for players seeking powerful rock and metal tones.
The solid nyatoh body features a striking Arctic White finish with a matching headcap, mirrored pickguard, red pickup covers, and contrasting red hardware accents. A custom John 5 Medium "C" maple neck provides a comfortable playing feel, while the 9.5" radius maple fingerboard features 22 narrow tall frets and red dot inlays. The satin neck finish offers a smooth feel for rhythm and lead playing.
A pair of DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers delivers high-output performance with tight bass response, strong attack, and clear note definition. The simplified electronics feature a master volume control, three-position pickup selector, and dedicated kill switch for creating rhythmic stutter effects and abrupt signal cuts.
Additional features include a six-saddle hardtail Telecaster bridge, deluxe locking tuning machines, a Micarta nut, and a signature neck plate. The John 5 Ghost Telecaster combines traditional Fender design elements with modern hardware and electronics suited for aggressive playing styles.
