PJD Guitars is a British electric guitar maker founded in 2010 by luthier Leigh Dovey and based in York, England. The brand name is a tribute to Dovey's late father, who worked as a prop maker at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden. After building guitars in a home workshop while working as a sound engineer, Dovey expanded the operation into a dedicated workshop where instruments are built by hand.
The lineup centers on three core body shapes: the Carey, a single-cut often configured with humbucker and P90 pickups; the St. John, a take on the classic '60s offset design; and the Woodford, an S-style instrument. PJD offers fully bespoke Custom Shop builds from the UK workshop alongside the more affordable Origin Series, which is built overseas and sold in Standard, Elite, and Limited Edition tiers. The company also produces its own hand-wound pickups.
PJD instruments have been featured in publications such as Guitarist, Guitar World, and MusicRadar. Players associated with the brand include Mark Sheehan of The Script, Tom Rylance of The Lottery Winners, and George Edwards of YONAKA.
PJD has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars, and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 6 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Pop. Notable users include Mike Hranica, Lee Malia, and Neil Westfall.
