Fender’s John 5 Ghost Telecaster is finally here and it hot-rods the workhorse electric with a killswitch, DiMarzio ‘buckers and a mirrored pickguard

Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster

The Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster is one of the worst-kept secrets in electric guitar. Indeed, could we even call it a secret, when we knew it was coming, with the new Mötley Crüe shredder-in-chief already test driving it on one of the most high-profile rock tours of the year? 

Well, it matters little now, because it is officially here, it’s available to buy, it ain’t cheap but it may well be one of the most crazy Fender Telecasters to have been put into production. It might well be one of the craziest Teles ever but John 5's see-through custom neon-gunk lava lamp model takes some beating on that score.
