Tobias (frontman) writes all the music, the arrangements, and records ALL the guitar parts on the studio recordings...
"Are you playing all the guitars on Prequelle?"
Yes. I performed all the guitars and all the bass. With one exception—in the song “Helvetesfönster,” there was a nylon-string part. I originally recorded it with electric guitar but it sounded weak. It didn’t sound cool. So I wanted it to be played with a nylon string. Now, I stopped playing nylon string when I was seven years old, so I called a friend of mine, Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth, who is very good at playing nylon string, to do it.
"What was your guitar setup on the new album?"
We did four rhythm tracks on everything. On one side we had a Les Paul gold top with P-90s that went through an Orange amp, and also a white [Gibson] Explorer from, like, ’82 or something like that—that typical James Hetfield sort of guitar—that went through an old Marshall rack amp from the early Nineties. And then on the other side it was a mid-Seventies Les Paul Black Beauty 20th Anniversary through one of those old Laneys that Tony Iommi used and an early Eighties [Gibson] Flying V that went through another Orange. Then I had a Seventies Strat for a lot of the leads, and I think I did overdubs mostly with the Explorer. So it was quite simple.

Ghost is now using Hagstrom's now as opposed to the Gibson RD's of previous tour. I had a chance to play one recently. very nice guitar, but something felt strange to me. The fret to fret distance seemed too wide. Sure enough, they are 25.5" scale length!!! However, I did not notice the high frequency normally associated with 25.5" guitars, I would imagine this was due to the model I played was tuned in Ghost's usual D-standard tuning. By the way, Ghost is using Dunlop Strings .054 - .011"
