After the success of the Johnny Depp Artist Series Limited run of 52, Johnny and Duesenberg have gone into production with a new version of his signature guitar that will benefit charity. Being one of the most in-demand actors of the past 25 years, and best known for his character Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of Caribbean movies, we have re-designed his iconic guitar in the Duesenberg tradition by telling the story of Johnny’s life from his tattoos; each one symbolizes a significant event in his life.
What makes this guitar so unique is the custom tapped JD-63 pickup which was specially designed to meet every characteristic of a classic open sounding single coil. Taking it a step further we offer the option of adding 1963 turns of pickup wire (1963 = Johnny’s year of birth) to the signal creating a warmer crunchy sound. This guitar also offers our classic tremolo continuing the Duesenberg tradition.
