A Modernized Machine - The Fender Artist Signature John 5 Phantom Telecaster Electric Guitar in Black
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.
- Black Finish with Matching Headcap
- "C"-Shaped Maple Neck with 12"-radius Indian Laurel Fingerboard
- DiMarzio D'Activator Neck and Bridge Pickups
- Custom Single Volume knob & Killswitch Control Layout
- Floyd Rose FRTS2000 Special Series Tremolo
- Signature Neck Plate
Finished in a commanding black with matching headcap, the Phantom Telecaster is as visually striking 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. A Floyd Rose FRTS2000 Special Series tremolo opens the door to extreme pitch manipulation and dive-bomb theatrics, without ever losing tuning stability. 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.
Black Finish with Matching Headcap
An elegant matching painted headcap complements the sleek black finish, tying the instrument together for a clean, cohesive look.
"C"-Shaped Maple Neck with 12"-Radius Indian Laurel Fingerboard
The comfortable "C"-shaped maple neck is ideal for all playing styles, while the 12" radius flattens the Indian laurel fingerboard for easier chording and effortless bends.
DiMarzio D'Activator Neck and Bridge Pick Up
Specifically voiced to duplicate the impact of active pickups but with enhanced dynamics, these DiMarzio® D'Activator™ humbuckers provide harmonically rich modern crunch.
Custom Single Volume Knob and Killswitch Control Layout
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.
Floyd Rose FRTS2000 Special Series Tremelo
The double-locking design allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge, resulting in excellent tuning stability and sustain throughout your most aggressive pull-ups and dive bombs.
Signature Neck Plate
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.
