The PJD Carey Origin range delivers a modern take on the single cut electric guitar, combining boutique design, versatile tone, and reliable performance. Unlike traditional heavier single-cut guitars, the Carey Origin is designed with a more balanced ergonomic feel while maintaining strong midrange response and sustain.
Designed in the UK and built as part of the Origin Series, the Carey models bring the core feel and identity of PJD’s high-end instruments into a more accessible, gig-ready format. Built with a mahogany body and maple neck, the Carey offers strong midrange presence, balanced warmth, and excellent note definition. With a range of pickup configurations across the Apprentice, Standard, and Pro models, it covers everything from clean tones and blues through to rock and modern styles, making it a versatile boutique electric guitar for stage and studio use.
