Carey Elite

Experience the Pinnacle: The PJD Carey Elite - Handcrafted in the UK

The PJD Carey Elite represents the ultimate expression of the Carey series, a premium single-cut electric guitar meticulously handcrafted in the UK for discerning players and professionals. This is an instrument built with the finest materials and obsessive attention to detail, designed to deliver exceptional tone, playability, and stunning aesthetics.

The lightweight body features comfortable belly cut and arm rest contours, crafted from premium tone woods like resonant Mahogany or vibrant Swamp Ash. Often paired with exquisite figured maple tops, the Carey Elite offers deep, complex tones with impressive sustain, all anchored by a stable hardtail bridge. Choose from a breathtaking array of premium body colours including Sea Blue, Original Burst, and Royal Blue Burst, with various finish options like Open Grain, Solid, Metallic, Glitter, Burst, Satin or Gloss, and Aged finishes available to perfectly capture your vision.

Experience effortless playability with the comfortable Standard C profile Maple neck and flawless Jescar frets. The Elite offers a choice of Maple, classic Indian Rosewood, or the slick feel and articulate response of an Ebony fingerboard. Elevate your neck with stunning 4A Flame Roasted Maple or Master Grade Flame Roasted Maple options for enhanced stability and visual appeal. An optional painted headstock adds a touch of custom flair.

Sonically, the Carey Elite is a powerhouse. It features a versatile Neck P90 or Humbucker route and a powerful Bridge Humbucker, ready to accommodate a wide range of high-end pickups including PJD's own celebrated hand-wound models like the Parkins Cream P90 and Wadfather Humbucker, or other premium options from builders like Bareknuckle or Cream T. This configuration provides a vast sonic palette, from warm, nuanced cleans to aggressive, searing lead tones. Premium Gotoh hardware ensures reliable performance, while optional Push-Pull pots and Treble Bleed circuits offer expanded tonal control.

Personalise your Carey Elite further with a selection of premium pickguard colours including Cream, Black, White, Tortoise Shell, and Bakelite, with special open frame insert options for the bridge humbucker on certain models. Each PJD Carey Elite is a true custom-shop level instrument, proudly hand-built in the UK and includes a deluxe hardshell case, ready to be the centrepiece of your collection and unleash your ultimate sound.
