Trey Anastasio's New Guitar

For those of you that follow the band Phish, you might have noticed the new look of the lead guitarist's - Trey Anastasio - guitar. Paul Languadoc, a luthier and former sound engineer of Phish, built him his new axe this last year and gave it to him to play this summer. The body and neck are carved out of koa, an expensive wood from Hawaii, while the fretboard, bridge, and tailpiece are carved from ebony. Trey has owned a number of different versions of this Languadoc design with the main differences being the wood selections and the electronics. The original prototype, built in the 1980's for Trey was based off of the Fender Starcaster. For a more detailed specification of his rig visit strangedesign.org. Enjoy...
