Initially, Koa 1 still had a second mini-toggle rather than push-pull to control the TRS output, but as of 2022 Spring Koa 1 has a push-pull as well. There is also a push-pull to control a Tip/Ring/Sleeve (“TRS”) output on the guitars. On that toggle, the middle position selects the humbuckers, while the outer positions provide inner single coil and outer single coil options. There remains a mini-toggle to control pickup selection. There is no longer a series/parallel mini-toggle selector switch on any of Trey’s guitars. In 2019, as Trey moved toward high-gain oriented amplifiers, some changes were made to the guitars. The mini-switches under the bottom F-hole control pickup selection, coil-dropping, and series/parallel options. Later iterations have featured coil-tapped humbuckers for single-coil tone variations. Paul’s hollowbody guitars are fully braced and completely hollow, like a violin. Trey describes it as having “the bite of a Strat and … the meat of a hollowbody.” All while the superior tonewoods and hollow chamber lend a woody, natural tone and unparalleled sustain. The scale length gives the guitars a twangy Fender-ish bite and vocal quality while the pickups give them that high-output, compressed, mid-range-heavy hard rock sound. Furthermore, so many of the mass production guitars made today are variations on the basic Fender/Gibson ideas that there are hardly any mass production guitars out there with the 25.5″ + dual humbucker combo (notably, several of Jerry Garcia’s guitars featured this rare combination). Strats and Teles usually have single coils and Gibsons generally have a 24.75″ neck scale, so the Languedoc doesn’t fit neatly in either category. Languedocs are unique for many reasons, one of which is that they have a 25.5″ neck scale like a Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster but dual humbuckers like a Gibson Les Paul, 335, or SG. There are a few others that have made occasional appearances that are not (yet) included here Trey’s acoustic guitars are at the bottom of this page.
Below is a rundown of Trey’s most frequently-used Paul Languedoc guitars, with a brief description accompanying each picture.
