Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster Black

The Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster takes the familiar Tele shape into heavier territory with dual DiMarzio humbuckers, a Floyd Rose tremolo, and an all-black look. Designed with John 5, it pairs stripped-down controls with the tools for aggressive riffs, fluid leads, and abrupt killswitch effects.

A satin-finished maple neck features a Custom John 5 Medium “C” profile, while the 12" radius ebony fingerboard and 22 narrow tall frets offer a comfortable platform for bends and precise fretting. The matching black headstock and signature neck plate complete the look.

DiMarzio D Activator pickups deliver tight bass response and clear, high-output crunch. A single master volume keeps adjustments straightforward, while the killswitch adds rhythmic stutters. The Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo handles deep dives and expressive pitch changes.
