Jerry Donahou Telecaster
There is arguably no electric guitar more attractive than a double-bound Fender Telecaster. And there is arguably no Telecaster more universally usable than the Jerry Donahue model.Here is how the stock JD switching works: Position 1) The Bridge PU which gives a true-to-life 1952 vintage sound. Position 2) The Bridge PU and the Neck PU out-of-phase. This gives that unique Strat sound, as it puts a Tele PU and the Vintage Strat PU in an out-of-phase mode. Really cool. Position 3) The Bridge PU and the Neck PU in parallel, creating a sweet full rhythm sound. Position 4) The Neck PU which gives a true-to-life 57 vintage Strat sound ran through the tone control. Position 5) The Neck PU completely bypasses the tone control for the full punch of this vintage PU. This is a nice feature as you may have the neck tone rolled off a little, and then if you want to jump into a more powerful lead solo, then just flip the switch.The neck is distinctive on these JD signature Teles, with a vintage '52 Tele soft "V" shape - a shape I love, but some others don't. Anyone who has played vintage guitars will know the profile, and feel totally at home with it!
