Fret-King Black Label Jerry Donahue JD

[bquote]Introducing the Fret-King Black Label JD – signature guitar for Jerry Donahue, doyen of the string benders, and founder member of the legendary Hellecasters.[/bquote]

When the opportunity to cooperate with Fret-King and Trev Wilkinson to create a guitar he could be 100% happy with arose, the gauntlet was thrown down. With its single coil pickups custom wound to Jerry’s exact recipe, and five way switch wired and tuned to his specification, the JD meets his vision of a single guitar which really can sound like all of the most instantly recognisable solid-body sounds of the last 50 years.

    [testimonials2 by=”Jerry Donahue, Hellecasters”] “My JD cranks out five of the blazingest tones associated with the three most popular solid body guitars ever. Of all the special guitar projects I’ve ever been involved with in my quest for the perfect guitar, the JD beats them all – at any price, it’s the best, and the most affordable. I couldn’t be happier”
