Jerry's Gear

"Tele-fy" your Strat just like the Jerry Donahue Hellecasters Limited Edition model. With the modification you keep all the classic sounds of a stock Stratocaster. And, in addition, you get Jerry's signature Tele sounds. But wait! There's more!!! You also get additional Strat tones not found on a stock Strat. And you'll keep the traditional Strat look, so no-one will know you've got a secret weapon. Contact the Seymour Duncan custom shop at 805-964-9610, via fax 805-964-9749 or Email them for details on how you can acquire the same Strat set-up that Jerry uses.

Endorsements:

Endorsements:
Jerry lays claim to several prestigious gear endorsements. Originally with Fender® he´s experienced the unique distinction of being the only artist to have had signature model guitars and pickups (Seymour Duncan®) in both the Stratocaster® and Telecaster® categories. Jerry, a long-standing exponent of Fender Guitars, has moved (via 4 years at Peavey®) ultimately to Fret King®) where together they have created the next level Tele in the Fret-KingJD®, the first in the company's Black Label series. The Fret-King JD is a sensational sounding axe that transcends the adopted standards!

Other ompanies with whom Jerry enjoys a strong liaison are Vox® Amplifiers, Seymour Duncan® pickups, Line6/Variax® Modeling Instruments, Ernie Ball® Strings, Herco® Picks (Jim Dunlop Co®) and Martin® Acoustic Guitars.
