New guitar day, all the way from England - it's PJD Guitars! (lemmy.world)

After 7 long, agonizing months waiting, I got my PJD Woodford Elite today! It's a custom design, which Leigh at PJD was very gracious to allow me to choose

Stats:

Color: Highland Purple, quilted
Fretboard: Roasted birdseye maple
Pickups: Cream T P90s

It sounds so amazing, i legit teared up when i first plugged it in - think Strat but on steroids. I immediately gravitated towards Andy Timmons, so I had to try a bit of Electric Gypsy, through my Quad Cortex Mesa Lonestar preset, and it nailed it.

So happy today!!

thank you!

I know nothing about guitars, and couldn't play one to save my life, but I do know that is absolutely beautiful!

That neck!! Love the purple and gold. That’s a gorgeous guitar.

[–] ArtVandelay 5 points 1 year ago

My design inspiration was the Ernie Ball Jason Richardson, which I always loved the purple.gold combo. Since I already have a JP15, i thought I'd get the color i liked in a strat like package.

What a beauty!

Still missing P90s guitar in my roster.

I settled on a Revstar for that. It needed a bit of setup and is a slightly funny but mostly sensible shape, and I've been happy with it.

Saved a bundle compared to the DC LPs I was dreaming of. Neck is a more sensible construction as well, though the volute is a slightly annoying overkill.

I’ve been eyeballing some DAngelico models - ever since getting a korean Gretsch G5422T I love hollow/semi-hollow stuff.
Which Revstar did you get? I see the price range is all over the place.

I'm jus there to jump on the loving-that-finish bandwagon!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Had the pleasure of sampling a PJD at Andertons on the weekend. You’ve made a very, very good choice.

[–] Selmafudd 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what any of this means but it looks nice

[–] Sieguito 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WOW! That’s amazing! I sincerely love it, how does it sound???

[–] ArtVandelay 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's so great, and I'm sure it has a super versitile ability. So far, it has handled Andy Timmons and John Mayer blues' styles like a champ.

[–] Sieguito 1 points 1 year ago

Cool, cool, thanks for the reply, i hope i’ll get a chance at trying out one of these beauties one day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s a beautiful quilt top.

Daaaaaaaamn

[–] ArtVandelay 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty much exactly what I said when I opened the case lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Very nice guitar. Looks wonderful. I’d never heard of PJD guitars until I took at trip to Andertons last weekend. They were some of the best I tried out there. I’d definitely consider them when I’m on the lookout for a new axe.
