Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster - white

Combining certain features of both Fender and Gibson© (Nyatoh body—an alternative to mahogany—humbucking pickups, 22 frets), the FENDER John 5 Ghost Telecaster solid body electric guitar (0262310580) pays tribute to an outstanding and eclectic musician who, for nearly three decades, has collaborated with such prestigious artists and bands as David Lee Roth, Mötley Crüe, and Rob Zombie.

The John 5 Ghost’s construction features a Nyatoh body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a maple fingerboard. It’s the perfect platform for a balance of thickness, bite, dynamics, and clarity. The bass is warm and precise, the mids are generous without being excessive, and the highs are crystal clear.
Nyatoh is a sustainable wood species—an alternative to mahogany—that produces dense, rich tones with pronounced mids.

The John 5 Ghost Telecaster is equipped with a pair of DiMarzio® D Activator pickups with ceramic magnets. Generous, articulate, and balanced (particularly the output level balance between the bridge and neck pickups), they’ll let you achieve beautiful overdrive tones while still offering plenty of depth when you play around with the volume knob.
Also worth noting is the inclusion of a Kill Switch, which allows you to create “stutter” effects (brief, rapid interruptions of the signal)—a technique the artist is particularly fond of (just like Tom Morello or the late Eddie Van Halen).
Its versatility will allow you to tackle a wide range of musical styles, with a slight penchant for generous distortion.

Add to this undeniable playing comfort (Custom John 5 Medium “C” neck profile, 9.5” radius, narrow-tall frets), and you have the perfect model for musicians looking for a modern Telecaster that breaks the mold.
It will naturally appeal to fans of the American guitarist, but just as much to lovers of fierce, defined tones.
