Phred dockstar koa upgrade#

Its currently run by brothers, Denis and Gilbert Sabon, who make a decidedly ethereal, delicate and balanced style than the currently fashionable 'modern', richer, oakier methods. The fretwork and the guitar’s overall fit and finish were very well done. The Sabon family is an ancient and well-regarded name in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, first mentioned in documents dating to 1540. With a 9.5 radius fingerboard and a Modern C shape neck profile, it’s quite comfortable.

It’s paired with a 25.5 scale, 22-fret maple neck and Pau Ferro fingerboard.

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). The body is alder, and our test guitar came in a beautiful off-white buttercream finish. I would think the resale would be terrible. Honestly I cant see paying that price for Phred. I have a Phred Dockstar that is decent after replacing the tuners. Reactions: earthmud, dmagalhaes and JohnK24. 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). Sounds great and he seems very comfortable playing it. So I'm starting to really consider buying a Phred Dockstar along with the pickup and electronic wiring upgrades.
