Project Phloyd 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.

Body

The body features a triple single coil setup mounted in a 3-ply black pickguard pickguard made by AxetremeCreations. A standard 5-way pickup toggle made by CRL allows for smooth pickup switching. There is one master volume, two tone knobs, and a built-in pre-amp circuit which helps to preserve the signal out of the guitar as it goes into your FX pedals and to your guitar amplifier. There is one 1/4" output jack recessed on the top of the body. On the back of the guitar, there is a 9V battery box that powers the built-in blaster circuit, and a tremolo cover plate. We offer an optional custom hard shell case to go with the Project Phloyd guitar.

Neck

The smooth satin finish maple bolt-on neck is attached to the body using 4 wood screws. 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 22 fret maple fretboard features 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. 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 standard dot inlays. At the top of the neck, you'll find a bone nut for good sustain. The flat 6-inline signature headstock shape includes our widely recognizable 'ph' logo. Under the fretboard is the adjustable double-expanding truss rod, keeping the neck stable in any climate.

Electronics

The electronics feature a CRL 5-way pickup toggle, CTS 250k Audio Taper pots for volume and tone knobs, a built-in pre-amp circuit and a 1/4" Switchcraft output jack. All wired together in our guitar workshop with vintage push back cloth wiring.

Pickups

The 3 pickups installed are noiseless DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 single coil pickup in the neck and middle position and a noiseless DiMarzio Virtual Solo pickup in the bridge position.

Additional Info

The guitar body, neck and bone nut are manufactured in China. The other parts are sourced locally and the guitar is assembled and setup in our Southern California workshop.

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. All upgrade options are installed by our techs in Los Angeles while your guitar is getting a setup.

Look for these 5 features on many PHRED instruments guitars.

24 frets

While most electric guitars have only 22 frets, PHRED instruments guitars give you an extra two frets on the fretboard, providing a full 2 octaves on each string. We believe that 24 frets helps you more easily locate your position when playing above the 12th fret and provide better access to the higher frets when soloing.

Set Neck on PHRED instruments Guitars

Set Neck

A set neck is glued in rather than screwed in to the guitar body. As a result, a set neck will transfer more of the string vibrations to the guitar body, producing a more warm and resonant tone with more girth and sustain.

3 Humbucker Pickups

While many guitars have just 1 or 2 pickups, we believe that a 3 humbucker setup opens up the pallet to guitar tones you might otherwise never get the chance to play. Almost all of our guitars feature a triple humbucker setup with split-coil switches, however, we also recognize the unique tone of playing with true single coils and so we offer them as well on some of our guitars.

Mini Toggles on PHRED instruments Guitars

Split-coil Toggles

If a guitar has a humbucker pickup, we believe that it should also have split-coil mini-toggle switch. Splitting the coils on a humbucker reveals a single-coil pickup tone, allowing you to get two tones from one pickup at the flick of a switch. Split-coil toggles are found on almost all of our guitars that have humbuckers.

Built-in Pre-amp on PHRED instruments Guitars

Built-in Preamp

Behind the scenes, a built-in preamp (unity gain buffer) maintains and improves the tone of the guitar pickups as the sound travels along the guitar cable to fx pedals and amplifier. All of our guitars that have an On Board Effects Loop (OBEL) also have a built-in preamp.
