PJD Woodford Pioneer HSS Electric Guitar in Candy Red

The Woodford Pioneer is an exquisite S-style guitar designed exclusively by PJD Guitars for Andertons. Boasting a Swamp Ash body and roasted Maple neck, the Woodford Pioneer is dressed to the nines, beautifully contoured and effortless to play!

The body is finished in a cracked-lacquer gloss nitrocellulose lacquer which allows the wood to breath and age nicely over time, while the neck features an oil/wax finish for super-smooth playability. A set of hand-wound Dr Wallace Cream T Pickups puts an array of humbucker and single-coil options at your fingertips for complete tonal versatility, across any playing style and genre. Other premium appointments include a Wudtone tremolo and Gotoh tuners. A rugged PJD hard case is also included for top-notch protection.

Key Features

• Swamp Ash Body — Traditional tonewood with that yields a warm, balanced sound.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• Roasted Maple Neck — Roasting process crystallises resins and removes all of the natural moisture retained by the neck wood, ultimately darkening the material and adding stability for rock-solid tuning!
• "C"-Shaped Neck — Custom profile provides comfortable playability, suitable for both traditional and contemporary players. The silky-smooth oil/wax finish won't ever slow you down either!
• 10-12" Compound Radius Fingerboard — Rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, this radius subtly flattens out the higher you go; making fast passages feel easier to play.
• Jescar 55090 Frets — Narrow tall fret-wire offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Dr Wallace Cream T Pickups — Boutique-style pickups, hand-wound in Liverpool, UK! Middle pickup is not connected to the tone pot.
• CTS Potentiometers — Enable smooth control over pickup volume and overall tone.
• Wudtone Bridge - A high-mass tremolo that maximisies the transference of sound energy to the pickups and through the guitar's body.
• Gotoh Staggered Post Vintage Tuners — Provide great stability whilst maintaining a cool, vintage aesthetic.
• Bone Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and enhances sustain.
• Included Hard Case — High-quality, PJD-branded case protects the instrument against knocks on the road.
