Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster Black

The Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster: Built for High Gain Mayhem

John 5 Signature Telecaster

From his early days as a sought after session player to his runs with David Lee Roth, Motley Crue and Rob Zombie, John 5 has spent nearly three decades building a career around serious guitar work. A lifelong Telecaster player, John 5 designed the Phantom Telecaster to retain what he loves about the classic platform while pushing it firmly into modern hard rock territory.

DiMarzio D Activator Pickups

A pair of DiMarzio D Activator pickups gives the Phantom its high output voice. With D Activators in both the neck and bridge positions, this HH setup is built for tight low end response and clear, aggressive tones that can stay defined under high gain. A three position toggle provides bridge, bridge and neck, or neck pickup operation.

Floyd Rose Double Locking Tremolo

The Floyd Rose FRTS2000 double locking two point tremolo is ready for extreme pitch manipulation and dive bomb theatrics while maintaining tuning stability. Deluxe cast and sealed locking tuning machines complete the hardware setup.

Custom John 5 Maple Neck

The maple neck features John 5's custom Medium C profile paired with a 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard and 22 narrow tall frets. A 25.5 inch scale length keeps familiar Fender proportions in place, while the Floyd Rose Special locking nut supports the demands of the double locking tremolo system.

Black Phantom Telecaster

The Nyatoh Telecaster body gets a gloss urethane top with a satin urethane back, matched with black hardware, black pickup covers, an anodized pickguard and matching black headcap. Controls are deliberately simple with a single master volume and kill switch, keeping the layout direct and performance focused.
