I just you tubed a video showing off a 1990's Jerry Donahue model. Has some interesting
sound options using that 5 way super switch. So do you need a Strat neck pickup to make
this wiring setup work? Or can I use a Telecaster neck pup?

I did not look at the video, but talking Strat and Tele pickups wiring , both have two wires so the wiring is the same.
I don't know if this answer to your question ?

No, you do not need a Strat pickup to make the wiring work. However, a Tele pickup will not sound the same as a Strat pickup and isn't that the whole point of JD's guitar sound? :wink:

Thats for sure!

There are plenty who are sold on Hendrix no matter what,
but ever since I learned about Donahue and Rory Gallagher I am in such
admiration of these two guitarists.
