Here for sale we have a Vintage Icon Series V58 Jerry Donahue Signature electric guitar in Ash Blonde finish. Made in China in 2014, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 Medium Profile fret Maple fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Wilkinson WTB intonatable bridge, as well as Wilkinson WJ55S patented E-Z-Lok tuning machines. A pair of Wilkinson Custom Designed single coil pickups are installed, and are wired to a 5-way toggle switch and master volume and tone controls.
The Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with a profile that could be described as a ‘U’ shape offering ergonomic thumb positioning and easy fretting up and down the neck. The medium frets and 10" radius provide a robust and smooth playing experience all across the fingerboard, and enhance string bending and vibrato techniques. The single cutaway body design allows the player to access the higher register with ease, allowing for fast lead lines without any obstruction.
The pair of Wilkinson Custom Designed single coil pickups and custom wired 5-way switch offer a really versatile set of vintage tele tones. The Wilkinson custom designed WJDTn offers rich traditional single coil sounds. Its position 2 makes use of a custom special capacitor giving way to full body jazz guitar sounds. The middle position makes use of both pickups with customised parallel wiring to produce a more contemporary sound. Position 4 combines the neck and bridge pickups with a capacitor and resistor in a controlled degree of reversed phase to produce a ‘in-between quacky sound’ while position 5 utilises the Wilkson custom designed WJDTb bridge pickup with symmetrically staggered pole pieces to capture searing lead tones.
