Jerry Donahue Fret-King

[@willbuckley54]

I remember him saying he couldn't play with a thumb-pick - now he can. I have a bog-standard tele with Barden pickups and it sounds very similar to this. I never achieved the tone he got from playing 'The Beak' on Equinox back in 1987.

[@Hungry_Hunter]

Very interesting. Never seen a pickup with a cap in the windings. Think I'll look a bit harder and give that bending after the nut a go.

[@DavidHedriana]

So much of what he talks about went into his Hellecaster signature with Fender

[@dermotmoran2012]

Bought one of these at the weekend as I was looking for something to replace 3 guitars. Absolutely amazing guitar. The combination of tones from a single guitar is mind blowing. The Seymour Duncans combined with wiring on this guitar are amazing. My poor €1,500 telecaster is relegated to the corner.

What Duncan's worked for you? I tried sd broadcaster with his harness

[@dermotmoran2012]

@@Grindstaff09 Hi, it was the stock Seymour Duncan and harness that it came with. I still have it but i prefer using my Brent Mason tele now

I shook Jezzer's hand in NY once. The man had one of the firmest handshakes ever I've eperienced.

John McLaughlin also worked at Selmer London - a few years before Jerry.

wow that vox amp really makes a nice tone

[@ThiagoLima-wc6zc]

Very good!

[@valiata]

why is there so much buzz on the lower strings? is he picking really hard?

[@seymourduncan]

There is some buzzing there, combined with amp overdrive. He actually doesn't play hard enough most of the time to hear that buzzing.

[@Elassar72]

I'm still in trouble understanding what fretking guitars he actually plays on stage... JD or JDD (both have "JD" on headstock...) :) . theo one in this video seeam a JDD, not a JD... I'm getting mad :D

[@shaunrish9516]

That guitar sounds outstanding ,, super crisp but not brash

[@simplejones4364]

free guitar with no strings attached, ironic.

More “ tone wood” talk

Wood matters. Don’t be a Jim Lill.
