Designed around John 5’s hard rock performance needs, it pairs a Telecaster body shape with dual DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers, a Floyd Rose FRTS2000 double-locking tremolo and a stripped-down control layout built for speed and impact. With one master volume, a kill switch and a 3-position toggle, this guitar keeps the focus on high-output riffs, precise lead work and dramatic pitch manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers are the driving force behind this Phantom Telecaster. Designed for tight low-end response, high-output attack and cutting clarity, they give the guitar the aggressive voice needed for hard rock, metal, high-gain lead work and dense rhythm tracks where every note still has to stay defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Floyd Rose FRTS2000 double-locking tremolo makes this guitar ready for expressive pitch work, from controlled vibrato to extreme dive-bombs and dramatic performance effects. The locking nut and tremolo system help maintain tuning stability under heavy use, making it a strong fit for players who rely on more than subtle pitch movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe custom John 5 Medium “C” maple neck, 12 inch radius fretboard and narrow tall frets create a fast, controlled playing surface for riffs, bends and lead runs. A single master volume control keeps the layout direct, while the kill switch adds a percussive performance tool for stutter effects and rhythmic accents. The signature neck plate, mirror pickguard and red speed knob complete a guitar with unmistakable artist-driven identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: Electric Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries: Artist Signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Style: Solid body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Nyatoh\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss urethane top with satin urethane back\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Custom John 5 Medium “C”\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: White dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSide Dots: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFret Size: Narrow tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Floyd Rose Special locking nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: HH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: DiMarzio D Activator humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: DiMarzio D Activator humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-position toggle switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuxiliary Switching: Kill switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Floyd Rose FRTS2000 double-locking 2-point tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Vintage style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-ply mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl Knob: Red speed knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-bolt signature neck plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: Nickel plated steel, .009-.042 gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should buy this\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe John 5 Phantom Telecaster is a strong choice for players who want Telecaster-inspired feel with a much more aggressive and performance-focused setup.
