Chapman Peter Honoré Signature DPT II OG Purple

Chapman Danish Pete Signature DPT II - vintage character with powerful humbuckers!

The Chapman Peter Honoré Signature DPT II is the second generation of the signature electric guitar developed with session guitarist Peter Honoré. The model combines the distinctive retro aesthetic of the original DPT with new electronics tuned for classic humbucker sounds. At its heart are an alder body, a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and two specially selected Wilkinson R Series humbuckers. This combination delivers warm, articulate clean tones as well as punchy rhythm sounds and expressive lead tones. With its distinctive body design, gloss finish, and traditional hardware, the DPT II brings classic guitar elements together with Danish Pete’s personal vision.

Peter Honoré - Danish Pete’s signature guitar

Peter Honoré, known to many guitarists as Danish Pete, is an experienced session guitarist and a fixture in the guitar community surrounding Andertons’ YouTube channel. His preference for characterful vintage instruments and a direct, dynamic response informs the DPT series concept. The first generation was also developed with Chapman and reflected the guitarist’s personal vision. The DPT II continues this approach, but features two humbuckers that Peter Honoré selected specifically for the tonal character of his favorite vintage pickups. This gives the signature model a distinctive voice while retaining the familiar feel and characteristic design of the original DPT.

Alder body and comfortable maple neck

The Chapman DPT II’s alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, with present mids, defined lows, and clear highs. The bolt-on maple neck has a comfortable C profile, shaped using a personal guitar belonging to Peter Honoré as a reference. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard and classic 9.5-inch radius, it offers a familiar playing feel for chord accompaniment, melodic solos, and dynamic rhythm playing. The 25.5-inch scale supports a precise response, while the 22 Narrow Tall nickel frets offer a comfortable blend of traditional feel and modern playability. Pearloid dot inlays complement the classic look and help you navigate the fingerboard.

Wilkinson R Series humbuckers with Alnico V magnets

The tonal heart of the Chapman Peter Honoré Signature DPT II is its pair of Wilkinson R Series humbuckers, selected specifically for the desired vintage-inspired character. In the bridge position, a Wilkinson R Series 7884 with Alnico V magnets and a DC resistance of 14.5 kOhm delivers a powerful voicing suited to assertive rhythm parts, bold riffs, and singing lead tones. At the neck, a Wilkinson R Series 7484 with a chrome cover and Alnico V magnets adds warm, full, expressive sounds, with a resistance of 9.75 kOhm. The 3-way blade switch lets you select either pickup or both together. A500K potentiometers, a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor, and an integrated treble-bleed circuit complete the electronics. The treble-bleed circuit helps retain high frequencies when you turn down the volume.

Wilkinson hardware and traditional T-style bridge

The Chapman DPT II’s hardware also draws on proven vintage concepts. The T-Style Shorty Bridge features Duplo brass saddles and provides a stable foundation for string guidance and vibration transfer. Six Wilkinson split-shaft tuners in a row, with ivory-colored buttons, complete the classic look and make string changes simple. The white TUSQ nut, measuring 42 mm wide, supports even string spacing. Combined with the straight headstock design and dual-action truss rod, it makes for a functional construction that pairs traditional elements with versatile appointments. The Chapman Peter Honoré Signature DPT II is for guitarists who appreciate Danish Pete’s distinctive style and are looking for a unique electric guitar with a dynamic humbucker configuration.
