The PHRED Instruments DockStar is a custom hollowbody in the tradition of arch-top Jazz guitars. The DockStar is heavily influenced by the unique Languedoc guitar made for Trey Anastasio of the band Phish…
The PHRED DockStar has a lightweight hollow-body made of Mahogany. The top & back are Koa or Flame Maple veneer and have traditional style bound F-holes. The neck is Maple with an Ebony fretboard, scale length is 25.5″ with 24 medium jumbo frets. Pickups are 4-wire humbuckers.
PHRED Instruments are based in Los Angeles but the guitars are manufactured in Asia. The PHRED name is a combination of the bands Phish and Grateful Dead and they builds guitars inspired by rarities like Jerry Garcia’s “Tiger” and Trey Anastasio’s custom Languedoc G2, which is the primary influence on the DockStar.
For the beginning of 2016, DockStar Koa is only built to order.
