DONNER

DJP-1000

- ART THOMPSON

WITH ITS CLASSIC double-cutaway shape and semi-hollow construction, the DJP-1000 represents Donner's take on one of the most successful electric guitars that Gibson launched in the late 1950s under president Ted McCarty. The DJP-1000 stays essentially true to form by featuring a body made from laminated maple with a solid-maple center block and a glued-in neck carved from maple instead of mahogany. It carries two humbucking pickups under nickel-plated covers, along with the standard configuration of two volume and two tone controls, and a three-way toggle switch for pickup selection. To increase flexibility, both volumes have push-pull coil-split switches.
