GUITARS: Custom-made Languedoc Guitars. Anastasio recently replaced the pickups on all his guitars with pickups by ReWind Electric. “These are a custom design, which James Finnerty and I worked on together,” says Justin Stabler, Anastasio’s guitar tech. “It includes Fifties wiring with higher-tolerance pots (550k ohms). [They’re] based around ReWind’s 1958 P.A.F. model coils but with different magnets and further underwinding in the neck position.
“Trey’s guitars are fully hollow, and acoustically they sound very different from something like a semihollow ES-335 or a PRS hollowbody,” Stabler says. “The midrange is more similar to a violin or a cello. It would probably be easier for guitar players to imagine something like the old Airline or Danelectro guitars, in terms of its unplugged sound. It has a beautiful top- and low-end that you’d find in a well-crafted instrument.”
AUDIO CABLES: Evidence Audio. The main instrument cable is the Lyric HG, which is a solid-core wire.
