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.)

at 10:10, the amp can be seen clearly as well as 0:07

at the start of the video, the amp can be seen next to a ghoul on the left of the stage

the amp can be seen in this video, like at 3:10

at 3:29, the amp can be seen

at 2:36, the amp can be seen to the left of stage
