Nameless Ghoul

The Nameless Ghouls of Ghost have been known to carry Gibson RD's since the early days. The German branch of Gibson Guitar Corporation has interviewed the Nameless Ghouls and learned that Fire Ghoul's guitar carries a pair of Seymour Duncan with a coil-tap switch, just like Omega Ghoul's guitar.

Omega Ghoul, also known and symbolised as Aether, is frequently seen playing a black Gibson RD Standard. Like his brother, Fire Ghoul, he switched the pickups to Seymour Duncans and added a coil-tap switch.

In this performance by Ghost during the Unholy/Unplugged Tour, the Nameless Ghoul on the right can be seen playing Gibson J-35. It's especially apparent at the beginning of "Jigolo Har Megiddo".

From an interview with Tonedeaf:

"Our guitars differ between what we’re touring with and what we’re recording with. At home, all the music is written on my guitar here at home, which is a regular black Gibson SG, which is highly regular.

But that’s my go-to guitar, that’s my favourite guitar. And usually when we go into the studio, there’s nothing wrong with that guitar, but it tends to detune a bit too quickly. I’ve changed the screws on it, but in the studio you want something reliable.

In the studio we tend to use one set of things and live we use Gibson RDs and those are really good for the live thing. Also, just for the coloration of the sound, we want to use different guitars in the studio."

With this, Nameless Ghouls have used Gibson SG's live as well, such as in this video where a Nameless Ghoul performs "Elizabeth" with a white Gibson SG at Hellfest.

Since March 24th 2017 both Fire and Aether have been using a white and black Hagstrom Fantomen respectively. The white Fantomen can easily be spotted at 1:22 and 3:15 in the embedded video. On the Hagstrom website the Fantomen is also being advertised as Ghost's new guitar. A post on Ghost's Instagram page from June 2nd also states "A Message From The Clergy: Ghost are rehearsing at the moment just before they kick off the Iron Maiden tour. They just want to thank Dunlop for the custom string packs and making the bands Hagstrom guitars sound so sweet. " with the Hagstrom logo easily seen on the guitar headstock.

at 2:07, you can see the black on the top of the control graphics extends about twice as far as the switches. This happens on the Thunderverb series of amps. It's tough to tell whether it would be a 50 or 200. (The Rockerverb series black color only extends about 1.5x as far as the switches.)

Air Ghoul, the keyboardist of the band Ghost, has frequently been spotted with a pedal that sits on the Nord Electro 3. According to the French branch of the Ghost website, Air Ghoul had a Pigtronix Echolution pedal during the Infestissumam tour.

In this video, Graeme (the audio technician for Ghost), along with a Nameless Ghoul discuss some equipment that the band uses. Graeme mentions as well that for the bass rack, a Pigtronix Disnortion is plugged in for "growl and attack", giving it the signature Ghost sound.

Pigtronix lists a number of pedals on their official Ghost endorsements page which include the EP2 Envelope Filter, Class A Boost, and a Philosopher's Tone.

In this performance of "Elizabeth" at Hellfest, Water Ghoul can be seen playing an American Standard Jaguar Bass, especially apparent at 1:13.

Water Ghoul has been seen many times playing an American Special Precision Bass by Fender. For example, he plays this bass during the Deezer Sessions.

This video is of a live performance Ghost performed at the 2011 Hellfest. Between 0:22 and 0:24 the video shows a good close up shot of Water Ghoul's Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass. The Deluxe Jaguars featured 2 vintage single coil pickups appose to the stand Jazz/Precision configuration the standard Jaguar's have.

This model was discontinued and brought back several times since the mid 2000's and with popular bands such as Ghost performing with them, Fender is sure to release a newer model eventually.
