Guitar virtuosoJohn 5已经确认他有一个全新的Fendersignature guitar on the way, named “The Ghost”. Showcasing the new model in recent footage, the axe is said to be based on Fender’s previous Supreme guitar and comes sporting a surprisingly humble design.
Featuring as a guest onPlay And Trade Guitars’YouTube Channel去年，作为钻机摘要的一部分，这位音乐家向新吉他演奏者分享了他的建议，并为他最近的现场现场设置提供了内幕访问。
In the video, John 5’s guitar tech takes us through the guitarist’s collection of pedals and guitars, showing most notably, the prototype for his upcoming new signature model, designed with Fender.
Unsurprisingly, the new design comes as Telecaster and features some notable features including an all-white body with red binding and a painted fretboard. Briefly showing the new model in the footage, John 5’s technician confirms the design will be an upcoming signature for the guitarist, although asserts that modifications are still underway, thus meaning no official release date has been announced.
现在，在最近对Ultimate Guitar, the artist has provided more details on the model, including revealing features of the model and the inspiration behind the design.
“We’re calling it The Ghost, and it is beautiful. It’s all white. It’s got red binding, red pickups and hardware,” John 5 confirms. “It is an amazing sounding guitar and an amazing playing guitar. It’s just one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while, and I love it. You know, it’s been in the works for a while and everything came to a screeching halt in 2019. It is just an unbelievable guitar. And yes, it is coming to fruition very soon.”
The upcoming model is also confirmed to bear just one knob for master volume, a kill switch and the guitarist’s very own DiMarzio pickups.
这位艺术家是一个相对简单明了的设计，继续详细介绍他最新的斧头背后的灵感，并在看到Fender限量运行的Supreme Stratocasters的外观之后，鼓励他加入彩绘的架子板，如下图所示。
吉他手说：“老实说，我看到了他们所做的最高吉他，并且有彩绘的脖子，我在值得信誉的情况下给予了信誉。”“那把吉他的制作非常非常非常有限，我就像‘好吧，为什么不把这本人拿到人口，以便每个人都能得到这个，因为它是如此美丽。’”
“I was like, ‘let’s make this something that we can get out to the public so everybody can enjoy it.’ […] it’s very simple. But it’s very complicated to get that paint, right. The dots and everything. It’s just, it is something very special.”
The Ghost is set to be released sometime in the near future, although no official release date has been announced as of yet.
