PHRED instruments is a Los Angeles-based guitar company founded in 2011 by Freddy Rose, with a focus on affordable instruments built around the tonal vocabulary of the jam-band scene. The brand has a clear affinity for the music and gear of the Grateful Dead and Phish, and many of its models are designed as accessible takes on rare boutique guitars associated with Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio.

Its catalog centers on hollow and semi-hollow electric guitars such as the DockStar (inspired by Trey Anastasio's Paul Languedoc builds), the Wolph (inspired by Doug Irwin's Wolf guitar built for Jerry Garcia), the Ernesto, the Liger, the DeadBolt, and the Reprise. Many models feature dual humbuckers with discrete coil-split switches and multi-way pickup toggles to expand tonal options, and PHRED offers customization with DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan pickups and Schaller hardware.

Beyond guitars, PHRED runs a long-running "Pedal of the Day" content series reviewing guitar and bass effects, and the company has been covered in outlets such as Premier Guitar. Players associated with the brand include members of jam-scene tribute and original acts like The Garcia Project, Cubensis, and The Talismen.

Phred has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars.
