Carey Standard

Explore the PJD Carey Standard: The Versatile UK-Built Workhorse

The PJD Carey Standard stands as a core model in the acclaimed Carey series, offering a potent blend of classic single-cut design, modern playability, and authentic UK craftsmanship at a competitive price point. Built for gigging musicians and studio enthusiasts alike, this solid body electric guitar delivers versatile tone and a comfortable feel ready for extended playing sessions.

The lightweight Obeche body, shaped with essential belly cut and arm rest contours, provides a balanced and resonant tonal foundation. This hardtail instrument ensures excellent tuning stability and direct tone transfer, perfect for powerful rhythms and articulate lead lines. An optional 'Spray Over' finish is available to give your Standard a cool, aged aesthetic.

Experience a superb playing feel with the comfortable Standard C profile Maple neck and smooth Jescar frets. Choose between a classic Maple or warm Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Upgrade to a Roasted Flamed Maple neck for enhanced stability and a touch of visual flair. Dial in your look with a Natural or optional Painted headstock.

The Carey Standard is equipped for sonic versatility with a Neck P90 or Humbucker route and a powerful Bridge Humbucker. This flexible configuration, often loaded with PJD's own hand-wound pickups, allows you to dial in everything from articulate P90 cleans and warm neck humbucker sounds to aggressive, driving bridge humbucker tones, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. High-quality Gotoh hardware ensures reliable performance and tuning.

Personalise your Carey Standard with a choice of classic and metallic body colours, and various pickguard colours including Cream, Black, White, Tortoise Shell, and a premium Bakelite option. Each PJD Carey Standard is a professional-grade instrument, proudly hand-built in the UK and includes a premium gig bag, ready to be your reliable partner on stage and in the studio.
