This was a blast! I honestly couldn't wait for this to air! Thank you for having me on, Rich! Oh btw, I still think about that Blue Carey once in a while, what a fantastic instrument!
@@RichWordsMusic I will check out these guitars in Wuppertal. Hardline music has some different models... We will see. I have to hold it in my hands...
@@robertdonosobuchner3129 Yes, definitely - with brands like this you need to feel them for yourself! You will never know if they click with you until you hold them in your hands... and they are too much of a risk to buy online, I think! Let me know your thoughts when you've tried them, as I would be interested to know :)
Today was the day I tryed out the St. John Limited and the Carey Custom. I prefer the Carey, it is just for me the right guitar. It is very versatile and I can use it for blues, rock and heavy rock music styles. The St. John is more to use for rock music. I love the good quality of these guitars! The Carey Custom is about 3200€, but it is a really good sounding guitar, that you can play for hours without realizing the time that is passing by. Now I have to safe my money to buy something great.
@@robertdonosobuchner3129 Thanks for the feedback! Yes, there is something kind of special about the Carey... and it's certainly a 'do it all' kind of guitar. The quality of all the PJDs I've tried so far has been incredible. I'm actually hopeful I will get to play and try some more soon. I am like you though... will be a long time saving before a guitar like this comes into my possession! In the meantime I suppose we can plan which finish, pickups, body woods, etc., we would like!
Impressive. I went to their site and there were many other choices. All look 'WOW' and understated at the same time. They all stand out without being in your face.
Agreed - that's exactly how I feel about them, and they seemed to have that effect on everyone who saw and played them at the show. Great to see 'new' builders for the UK doing amazing stuff like this. I feel PJD are going places, assuming they don't grow too fast to stay sustainable!
@@RichWordsMusic Being made in the UK and priced competitively with Gibson and Fender USA could eventually put this brand as 'the' third option with buyers worldwide. Eventually a couple of high profile players will switch to them and they will have to look for some new real estate to expand to meet the demand :-)
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing It's entirely possible I guess, although they'll need to do a lot to displace the likes of PRS. But back in the day, isn't this pretty much how PRS (and indeed, every successful company) started? And look at them now! I shall be following the PJD story with interest :)
@@RichWordsMusic It could happen very quickly. We have a new generation of players that expect their consumer tech to be 10 times better every year and their expectations. These are not just met but are literally exceeded.This is creating a mind set to try something new for fear of being left behind. Everything to them is never linear but exponential. It may in no time become uncool not to have a PJD. I think if they had a couple of hot and coming player play them would kick start an avalanche of sales. It happened with Charvel, Jackson, Kramer and BC Rich in the 80's.It was only bad management that killed it then. Except for Ibanez that quickly moved with the times.
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing You're totally right. This is what the age of social media has one to all of us. And I agree, a marquee player or tow and that could really kickstart PJD in a big way! I hope for their sake it does, and as you say, they manage it correctly.

Love the shirt Rich, beautiful guitars too!
Thank you sir, thought you'd like it, and yes - these are some beautiful instruments. They kind of took everyone's breath away.
They do look stunning, I can only imagine how nice the necks are.
@@PooNinja The necks are sweet. Really lovely profile. You ought to check if they do lunar deliveries!
@@RichWordsMusic I’ll ask my lunar Luither
@@PooNinja That's NO 'moon' you live on!
Brilliant guitars
They are indeed! Every single one I've played to date has been excellent.
Good job boys! \m/
Cheers man!
