Description
John 5's virtuosic guitar playing landed him some of the biggest gigs in hard rock history, collaborating with legendary artists Rob Zombie, David Lee Roth, Mötley Crüe, and countless others. With his unique sound and style that blends rock, metal, and country, John 5 needs a guitar that can accommodate blistering bluegrass riffs just as well as high-octane shredding. That's why Fender built the all-new John 5 Ghost Telecaster, and it's the ultimate guitar for players who love crunchy tones and devilishly-good looks.
Crafted to captivate, the John 5 Ghost Telecaster boasts a top-bound alder body and a mesmerizing Arctic White gloss finish. Players will love its numerous red accents-from the ruby switch tip to the control knobs and the red Fender script logo, this Tele has a bold, blood-curdling aesthetic that'll turn heads. Its eye-popping appearance is rounded out by its mirrored pickguard and control plate, white gloss neck, and dazzling chrome hardware.
Equipped with powerful DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers, the John 5 Ghost Telecaster delivers a crunchy, roaring tone that's rich with harmonics. These pickups pack a punch and are great for adding some 'oomph' to hard rock riffs and solos. And thanks to the 3-way pickup selector, master volume knob, and arcade-style "kill switch," players can channel a plethora of crushing tones while unleashing rapid-fire stutter effects.
The John 5 Ghost Telecaster plays like a dream. Its Custom Medium "C" shaped maple neck has a wickedly-comfortable profile, while its 22 narrow tall frets allow for effortless bending and vibrato. Additionally, its deluxe locking tuners and 6-saddle Tele bridge ensure rock-solid tuning stability and intonation, even during the most aggressive playing.
Embracing its otherworldly allure, the John 5 Ghost Telecaster ships in a custom white tolex hardshell case adorned with embroidery and a red plush interior. Limited to only 600 units, this guitar is destined to become a hit among collectors and hard rock enthusiasts alike. Reach out today if you've been looking for a spectacular Tele with a one-of-a-kind look, sound, and feel!
