I am a fan of Trey Anastasio's playing, but even a larger fan of his tone and the versatility that his Languedoc has (also the scale length since I'm a strat player).
#Phredguitars dockstar upgrade
I also was wondering (before I make a choice) about the differences between the Koa, Flame Maple, and Spalted Maple Dockstars (aside from cosmetics)? Also should I possibly upgrade any other parts in the Dockstar (bridge, tuners, etc.) to make sure I get the most out of the instrument?Īlso, I've looked into the PRS Hollowbody II (too expensive), the Gibson ES Les Pauls (also expensive), and other hollow body guitars (which are too large). Phred Dockstar Koa Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar w/Gig Bag - USED The PHRED instruments DockStar Koa gets its inspiration from Trey Anastasios Languedoc guitar. The neck is Maple with an Ebony fretboard, scale length is 25.5 with 24 medium jumbo frets. The top & back are Koa or Flame Maple veneer and have traditional style bound F-holes. However, I am a bit unsure if I should go for it, since I have heard mixed reviews about Phred instruments (though most state that they make great guitars). The PHRED DockStar has a lightweight hollow-body made of Mahogany. So I'm starting to really consider buying a Phred Dockstar along with the pickup and electronic wiring upgrades.
