John 5 Ghost Telecaster®
The Fender® John 5 Ghost Telecaster® is a striking signature model built for players who demand uncompromising performance with unmistakable style. Inspired by the renowned guitarist's work with David Lee Roth, Rob Zombie, Mötley Crüe and countless studio sessions, the Ghost Telecaster® reimagines the classic Tele platform with a modern, high-output design tailored for rock and metal.
Finished in eye-catching Arctic White with a matching headcap, the Ghost Telecaster® delivers a bold visual statement to match its powerful voice. A pair of DiMarzio® D'Activator™ humbucking pickups provide the aggressive output, tight bass response and crystal-clear articulation that have become synonymous with John 5's signature sound. From crushing rhythm tones to soaring lead work, these pickups remain focused and articulate even under the highest gain settings.
The simplified control layout keeps performance intuitive, featuring a single master volume control alongside a dedicated killswitch for rapid stutter effects and expressive live performance. A hardtail bridge provides exceptional tuning stability, sustain and rock-solid intonation, making it an ideal choice for players who prefer maximum reliability without the complexity of a vibrato system.
The comfortable C-shaped maple neck is paired with a 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard, offering a familiar Fender feel with smooth, effortless playability across the entire neck. A signature neck plate completes this distinctive artist model.
Combining classic Telecaster styling with modern appointments and uncompromising performance, the John 5 Ghost Telecaster® is built for players who want precision, power and unmistakable stage presence.
