Featuring a duo of articulate Custom Shop '59' humbucking pickups and a selection of tonewoods that tick every box, this beautiful single-cut semi-hollow electric guitar covers all ground!

Handcrafted in the PJD Custom Shop, this Carey Elite looks as good as it sounds. Its Flamed Maple Top perfectly suits the Highland Purple Burst finish, and the flame pattern dances at different angles.

PJD 59 Humbuckers

The PJD '59', PAF-style humbuckers are crafted the right way using Alnico 4 magnets, a nickel silver base plate and 42 AWG plain enamel wire. They are scatter wound by hand, offering a true vintage-voiced pickup set with an abundance of clarity and note definition as well as a wide dynamic range that suits a broad range of playing styles.

PJD Guitars

Founded as a one-man operation in 2010 by Leigh Dovey, PJD has steadily grown into one of the largest British guitar manufacturers. Originally based in London from a small home workshop, Leigh inherited his love and passion for woodwork at an early age from his father, a prop maker for the Royal Opera House in Covent Gardens. 7 years later, the operation was moved to a larger facility in York where PJD has gone from strength to strength. Built using the finest materials and components and built with a level of care and attention that could only be achieved in this sort of workshop, PJD has grown a steady reputation as some of the finest guitars available. With standardised models and offerings to suit every type of player from their bare-bones Apprentice line-up to the full-bore Custom Shop range, there is a PJD for everyone.
