PJD Origin – Carey Standard – Midnight Black

PJD Carey Origin Standard – Midnight Black

The PJD Carey Origin Standard is a single-cut electric guitar from the PJD Origin Series, designed to offer a dual-pickup configuration and expanded tonal range within the Origin platform.

The guitar features a solid mahogany body with a gloss poly finish. This construction provides a balanced tonal response with a strong midrange character and consistent sustain.

The neck is constructed from maple and paired with a rosewood fingerboard. It follows the PJD Standard neck profile and uses a 10″ (254mm) radius, supporting a consistent playing surface across all positions. The instrument is fitted with 22 medium frets.

The Carey Origin Standard is equipped with a dual pickup configuration consisting of a PJD Origin Alnico V P90 in the neck position and a PJD Origin Alnico V humbucker in the bridge position. This layout provides a wider tonal range, with pickup selection controlled via a three-way toggle switch.

Hardware includes a fixed hardtail bridge and a standard control layout of master volume and tone. The guitar is supplied with a padded PJD gig bag.

P90 & Humbucker Pickup Configuration

The Carey Origin Standard combines two distinct pickup types, with a P90 in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge position.

The neck P90 provides a clear and articulate response, while the bridge humbucker delivers a higher output signal suited to driven tones. The three-way toggle switch allows selection of each pickup individually or both together.

This configuration offers a broader tonal range compared to single-pickup or dual-humbucker layouts, while maintaining a simplified control setup.
