The PHRED instruments DC39 guitar gets its inspiration from the traditional double cut-away semi-hollow body, which features a dual humbucker setup, with discrete volume and tone knobs per pickup and a 3-way pickup toggle. Our DC39 guitar is professionally setup with low action and D'Addario 10-46 strings, and the frets are leveled and milled here at our shop in California for a nice smooth and clean feel all around.


Re-wire the entire guitar with CTS pots, Orange Drop Capacitor, Switchcraft output jack(s), and a Switchcraft 3-way pickup selector switch.  In addition to upgrading your tone, you'll get smoother turning knobs and a more fluid pickup toggle selector. Chose the Shielded Wiring option to further assist with keeping out unwanted EMI noise from the guitar signal.

Body
The semi-hollow body with ash veneers on the front and back features a dual humbucker setup, with discrete volume and tone knobs per pickup and a 3-way pickup toggle. There are two separate volume and  tone knobs for dialing in your desired tone.  There is one 1/4" standard guitar output jack on the side of the guitar body. 

Neck
The maple core neck is attached to the body using very strong wood glue.  The back of the neck contour is a C-shape that feels somewhere in between a strat and an LP neck, not too thin, and not too chunky either.  The rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets which are leveled and milled here at our shop in California for a nice smooth feel along the edge of the fretboard and all around.  The fretboard features a 12 inch radius which is perfect for soloing and playing chords up and down the fretboard.  Topping off the fretboard are dot inlays.  At the top of the neck, you'll find a bone nut for good sustain, and white binding all around the fingerboard for a clean look and feel. Under the fretboard is the adjustable double-expanding truss rod, keeping the neck stable in any climate.
