PJD Guitars are handcrafted by Leigh Dovey and his team at their impressive workshop in York, UK. PJD specialise in a range of classically inspired, beautifully built premium quality instruments, made with the finest woods and components. These are professional grade guitars built to perform.


The new PJD Carey Standard is a solid bodied single cut guitar featuring belly cut and arm rest contours. Fitted with a PJD Parkins Cream P90 and a Wadfather Zebra Coil Humbucker – these scatter hound wound pickups provide a huge dynamic range with a clear and expressive voice. The lightweight Obeche body of the Standard is resonant and musical, which makes long stints on stage, practicing or in the studio comfortable. The plain maple neck features a silk screen decal, drilled truss rod access and tinted lacquer for a vintage inspired aesthetic. A 25.5 inch scale length provides plenty of brightness and a familiar string tension. PJD’s ultra comfortable modern medium C shape neck has a 10 inch fretboard radius and medium Jescar 55090 frets.


The PJD Carey Standard is supplied with a premium gigbag and PJD certificate of authenticity.
