Phred Instruments Ace

For sale is this Ace guitar as pictured. It was manufactured in 2025 and is brand new.

The PHRED instruments Ace guitar is a neck through double cut-away guitar that gets its inspiration from Bob Weir’s Cowboy Fancy guitar. The body features a humbucker-single-humbucker setup, with a split coil switch for the humbuckers and discrete on-off toggles for each pickup. Our Ace 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.

Body
The body features a humbucker-single-humbucker setup, with a split coil switch for the humbuckers and discrete on-off toggles for each pickup.  There is one master volume and 2 tone knobs, allowing you to dial in tone that goes from dark and muddy to crisp and bright.  Additionally there is a 3-band EQ that can be activated to further dial in your sound.  There is one 1/4″ output jacks on the top of the body.  On the back of the guitar, there is a large and accessible electronics cavity and a 9V battery box that powers the internal EQ. 

Neck
The 5-play neck-through guitar is comprise of maple and walnut.  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 ebony fingerboard has 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 a nice balance for playing chords up and down the fretboard.  Topping off the fretboard is a custom vine pearloid inlay.  At the top of the neck, you’ll find a bone nut for good sustain, and white binding all around the fingerboard for a uniform look and feel.  The tilt-back 3+3 headstock shape features white binding as well.  Under the fretboard is the adjustable double-expanding truss rod, keeping the neck stable in any climate.
