The Jaydee Donnington SG is a replica of an SG that Diggins built for Angus Young and presented to him backstage before the Donnington Monsters of Rock festival in 1981. As the story goes, Angus then took the guitar right out onstage and played the show with it. The replica was offered starting in 2015, as the Angus Young SG was dropped from their website. Of course, either one could be custom ordered before or after that.
The pickguard shape is slightly different from a regular Angel Wing shape, extending to less of a point at the top.
