Professional Setup and Feel

Professional Setup & Feel

To ensure that we deliver high quality playability and tone, one of our master guitar techs in the Los Angeles area meticulously inspects your guitar from headstock to the bottom strap button, and performs a setup to make your PHRED guitar feel comfortable to play. You can look forward to smooth level frets without any sharp edges, low string action, and adjusted intonation.  If you have a specific request for your guitar setup, just let us know.

What Our Customers Say

Customer Reviews

I received that guitar about a week ago. Just writing you to say that you guys did a great job with her. The actual play of the guitar is like no other, I fell in love with the first jam on it! Keep up the good work, I'll probably pick up one of your Garcia models in the future as well.

Ernesto VH Brown

 I played it on my vibro champ first then my pro reverb then my hot rod deluxe sounded great on all three best on the deluxe. The tuners work great the pickups sound as good as the 3 paf humbuckers on my 76 Les Paul Custom.

Kris Lambert
DeadBolt

The sustain is really amazing.  I play through a 74 Twin Reverb and two tube screamers, I have a BOSS compressor but do not use it all the time because I hate losing the tone.  The sweet spots of the hollow-body is a new thing for me, and there is no mistaking, once you find it you realize you have a guitar that can do things that the solid body cannot.
