Nameless Ghoul's Guitars
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 instagram post by morgxnstxrn https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVC2Iavjt1/ on the 3rd and 4th slides you can see the nameless ghoul using a modded eob strat with black trem and rosewood fretboard now. You can tell its a eob because of the sustainer
Sodo (aka Dewdrop) from Ghost, one of the Nameless Ghouls, most commonly uses a discontinued modified Fender American Performer Stratocaster. The unique hand shape and lettering combination, along with the input jack positioning, identify this edition. The rosewood neck and white body confirm this specific model.
Modifications were: Floyd Rose Rail Tail bridge, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for both neck and bridge pickups and modified shield, jack, nut, and locking pegs.
During the Skeletour era, Randy Moore, also known as Phantom, is seen playing a black Fender Jazzmaster equipped with active EMG pickups in live performances and music videos. This is evidenced by a source image available on Equipboard.
