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