choose humbucker or single coil... or both
Our DC No 2 guitar brings our widest range of options for pickup configurations (H-S-S, S-S-S, T-T). Starting in 2026, our DC guitars will all be fitted with our own custom wound pickups.
The DC No2 is built to the same body shape as the DC No 1, with the added option of being able to select either 628mm or 648mm scale length necks.
All our SC No 2 guitars are unique instruments and individually priced, starting at around £1749 for a new SC No 2 shape guitar in a solid wood body with front and rear contours, including a set of our T pickups.
DC No 2T
The super strat that sounds like a tele. Our T-T DC 2 model is fitted with a set of our own telecaster voiced pickups (6.8kBridge, 7.2k Neck).
Alternatively, choose a DC with three pickups, from £1925:
DC No 2HS
Perhaps our most flexible DC - one humbucker in the bridge position paired with two Strat-type single coils. Choose from:
-
Gowen 57-59 humbucker (B) + Gowen 62 (M) + Gowen 62 (N)
-
Gowen 72-75 set humbucker (B) + Gowen 62 (M) + Gowen 62 (N)
DC No 2S
The all Strat single coil DC:
-
Gowen 69 (S-S-S) set (7.5k B, 5.6k M, 5.8k N)
Our DC bodies are normally made from Cherry, Alder, London Plane, Ash, Walnut or Mahogany / Sapele, with more expensive woods adding to the base cost of the instrument.
