GOWEN DC CUSTOM ELECTRIC GUITAR
This is our DC
You'll find different configurations across the DC range: including all humbucker, all-strat single coil, humbucker-single coil hybrid or even all-telecaster style pickup variants are available.
DC No 1 is entirely humbucker based with partial coil-splitting as standard and a choice of our classic Gowen 57-59 PAF+ pickups or the hotter Gowen 68-72 PAF+.
DC No 2 is our single coil option, with options for S-S-S, H-S-S or T-T pickups. It's priced slightly higher than the humbucker variant due to the additional copper shielding needed for the single coil pickup and control cavities.
Take a look through the models to find the DC that fits your music.
