The PHRED instruments Project Phloyd gets its inspiration from a classic guitar design, and one of the iconic guitars played by David Gilmour. The body features three DiMarzio noiseless single coil pickups with a 5-way pickup toggle, main volume, two tone knobs, and a built-in pre-amp circuit. 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. Scroll down to the full description and specs for more information.

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.
