I know independent / local artists who play Languedocs, but no one besides Trey of any renown who plays them.

Paul Languedoc was an apprentice guitar maker who caught the attention of Trey before Phish was famous, and made Trey his guitar(s).

Only recently did Paul start allowing himself to make guitars for the public. With the tone available from these babies, I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before they become more popular with other guitarists.

My friend Sam has a legitimate Languedoc, and the sound from this guitar is better than anything I've heard from 99.9% of hollow body guitars - the only thing that came close was a couple of Gibson customs. But the thinline nature of these guitars + the tone is not really accessible unless you get a Languedoc.

Plus - note that the headstock is made to be the state of Vermont. Pretty nifty and unique touch!
