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.

"When the Hagstrom Fantomen first reached the market in 2016 it immediately became a sensation, recognized as the guitar built in collaboration together with the Swedish band “Ghost”. Many players since its release have fallen in love, not only with the stunningly good-looking design of the Fantomen but also the ease of playability, and amazing variety of tone these instruments offer." - Hagström Guitars

Note that the Hagström Fantomen Custom is different from the regular Hagström Fantomen.

In the video the he refers to the guitars as >"Upgraded Fantomen´s". Some of the detailed specifications that he mentions (Lundgren Black Heaven, 5-piece neck) seems to be different from this model, meaning that Ghost most likely are using an even more upgraded version of this model. However, most specifications seems to be the same. According to the video, the Hagström Fantomen Custom more closely resembles the guitar that Ghost are actually using compared to the standard Hagström Fantomen.

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.

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.

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.

In the YouTube video by ovd806, at the 2:18 mark, Nameless Ghoul from Ghost is seen using a Marshall JCM900 4100 100-watt 2-channel Tube Head during their live performance at Fortarock Nijmegen on July 2, 2011.

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".

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.

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.)

Nameless Ghoul uses the Tama Starclassic Performer B/B Piano Black drum set, notably without the 10" tom, as seen in the Instagram post by thebandghost.

If one were to look at a Tumblr page for Ghost, there is to be found a few items of gear that the Nameless Ghouls use. Air Ghoul is listed as using a Moog Little Phatty, specifically the Redback Edition.
