Fender Hellecasters Jerry Donahue
1997-1998Alder, Maple
Fender has honored each of the three member of the Hellecasters band with a signature stratocaster Fender. Jerry Donahue is a Telecaster player, so he “telifyed’ his MIJ signature strat by requesting a metal plate under the bridge pickup. Overall this rarebird (450 made) is considered very well crafted guitar and simply sounds fantastic.

Fender John Jorgenson Stratocaster
1997-1998Alder, Maple, Rosewood
One out of three Hellecasters signature models. 500 made. 3 seymour duncan split pickups for the highest output. Jorgensen asked the guitar to have a 60s reversed headstock. Result is a strange Hendrix-flavored glittered powerhouse.

When the employees of Japanese brand Tokai are not busy making Gibson replicas, they come up with their own very unique models. The aluminum body Talbo serie started being produced since the mid 80s and is now still in production. This 1997 Tokai Talbo A-130SH is one pretty example.
