The Gotoh Vintage-Style Machine Heads are a perfect fit for the Carey Elite. With vintage styling and excellent tuning stability these are a great set of Machine Heads.
This guitar has a lovely American Ash body with a Flame Maple top.
Ash produces chiming highs, clear midrange and strong low end that lets higher overtones ring through, resulting in greater harmonic content.
The Coco Burst finish pairs beautifully with the Flame Maple top.
Nitro finish allows the wood on your guitar to breathe, yielding a more open sound and greater sustain. It's a very high quality finish that looks and feels great.
The Old Guard Humbucker has a warm, moderate output designed for classic blues, rock, country and pop.
These pickups brillantly capture the golden era tones we all know and love.
All of the internal components in the Carey Elite are top of the range to make sure that your guitar plays and sounds as good as it looks!
INCLUDING:
'Hot dog' fret ends have a decidedly rounded shape, hence the 'Hot dog' look. This is not a universal name for this type of fret, but luthiers commonly call it that!
On a premium fretted instrument, such as a PJD the hand rolled fret ends show the luthier has spent a good amount of time making sure every fret is not only leveled and perfect, but also has super-smooth edges that feel good on the fret hand. The 'Hot dog' frets have a unqiue feel to them but are very comfortable and are considered to be a premium option on a guitar.
