From his early days as a sought-after session player to his legendary runs with David Lee Roth, Mötley Crüe and Rob Zombie, John 5 has spent nearly three decades cementing his place as one of the most in-demand guitarists on the planet. A lifelong Telecaster fanatic and advocate, John 5 designed this outrageously modernized machine to embody everything he loves about the Tele, while pushing it into bold new territory for a new generation of hard rock players.
Finished in a striking arctic white with matching headcap, the Ghost Telecaster® is as visually commanding as it is sonically ferocious. DiMarzio® D'Activator™ pickups in the neck and bridge deliver the high-output, high-gain tones John 5 is known for, with tight low-end response and searing clarity that can cut through any mix. With a stripped-down control layout, a single volume knob and killswitch, this guitar keeps the focus where it belongs: on the music and the moment.

An elegant matching painted headcap complements the Arctic White finish, tying the instrument together for a clean, cohesive look.

The comfortable "C"-shaped maple neck is ideal for all playing styles, while the 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, facilitating fluid leads and choke-free bends.

Specifically voiced to duplicate the impact of active pickups but with enhanced dynamics, these DiMarzio® D'Activator™ humbuckers provide harmonically rich modern crunch.

A streamlined control layout keeps a single master volume knob within easy reach, while the killswitch delivers the scratch and stutter effects integral to modern playing - cutting the signal to the amp for as long as it's engaged.

This model features a hardtail six-saddle bridge for rock-solid tuning stability, precise intonation and increased sustain. The string-through-body design enhances string-to-body vibration transfer for added sustain.

The custom neck plate is outfitted with the artist's original artwork - a fittingly personal touch that leaves no doubt as to the instrument's pedigree.
