Pheo Alo

The Pheo Alo is a mahogany neck through construction, semi solid body guitar with a solid East Indian rosewood top and back. Sides are cut rather than bent Honduras mahogany pieces. The neck, which has 0 degree neck angle and sits high off the body, is 25" scale, 12" radius, medium C profile, rosewood fretboard. Pickups are JM Rolph 58s. The Alo weighs 6lbs 3oz and has an oil finish. Because of the solid wood construction, the Alo is more resonant and complex in its acoustic response than a 335. It has a beautiful jazz voice but is also great for BB style blues and has a great edge for controllable feedback at higher volumes.

About Pheo Guitars
If you're new to Pheo Guitars, read on. These fractured, yet crafted, random yet profoundly organized instruments are the creations of Phil Sylvester of Pheo Guitars. They are the very epitome of functional art – they play, beautifully, even startlingly well. They are consummate instruments that press hard at the boundaries of what we normally think an instrument “should” be. From Pheo you will find remarkable guitars and amplifiers made from found objects and crafted elements – old instrument parts, hairdryers, grills, vacuum cleaners, etc. all deconstructed and reassembled into a whole that only vaguely resembles, and certainly transcends it’s origins.
