''Trey Anastasio's one-of-a-kind guitar is famous amongst his fans. It was made personally for him by Vermont Luthier, Paul Languedoc. The guitar tech/audio engineer, Languedoc, was also Phish's sound guy for a sizable portion of the band's touring career. The guitar and Trey's unique set up help give him his signature tone that his fans can recognize almost instantly. One part of his tone that he is best known for is the incredibly long sustain he can achieve with his guitar and tube amp. Anastasio has a vast knowledge of music theory and is able to switch across multiple modes and scales easily during any given solo.'
