This guitar is all koa with a maple neck, and the same tapered body shape as the second one.
Trey's third and current Languedoc is a koa hollowbody built during 1996. Paul put the single coil pickup from the spruce guitar into this one, replacing the vacant hole in his old one with a plastic cover.ģ. The upper and lower bouts of this guitar are also not as curved as the original. There is a slightly different inlay on the headstock, and the inlay on frets12 and 24 are larger while the rest have been thinned down. This one has the same natural finish as the first one but the body is made from padauk (as opposed to spruce). Trey's second Languedoc, built in 1992, became his main guitar in the beginning of 1993 primarily, until late 1996. When #2 was complete, Old Reliable became his backup guitar.Ģ. Photos from 1992 show Trey using the spruce guitar with the plastic pickup cover, indicating that construction had begun on #2. When Paul began to build Trey's second guitar, he removed the single coil from the middle, and covered up the hole with plastic. This became Trey's primary guitar until his next one was built in 1992. The back and sides are spruce and the top is maple. Paul built it from a combination of spruce and maple, with 2 humbuckers and a single coil in the middle. This blonde beauty was built in late1987 for Trey when he told Paul that he wanted a fatter sound. "Old Reliable," Trey's first custom electric guitar. (A second bass was stolen during the summer of 1992.)ġ. Three Electrics: Trey Anastasio has three Languedoc guitars, all built by Paul Languedoc, soundman for the band who also built Mike's bass. Prior to that, he used a pearl-white solid body Ibanez (which he used to write "I Am Hydrogen" in his father's basement), last seen at his bachelor party jam session.
If you have any additional pics or updates, please email them to me! The first guitar Trey got made by Paul Landuedoc was a short-scale travel guitar he took to Europe with Pete and Dudley (both also of Space Antelope).
I would like to thank Brian Brian Brown (Trey's tech) and Glenn Goldstein from Hard Truckers for the updates.
