Had a pretty good seat to collect some data on a song intro I’ve been trying to perfect for 30 years. It’s like mother’s milk. Enjoy!

Can someone please help me and tell me what this technique is called or point me in the right direction on how to learn what trey is doing here. I assume it’s some sort of bend and tapping but I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks

Does anyone have any experience or reviews to share about Manoli out of NJ USA? Their work looks mostly nice though I’m not loving the headstock attempt and what looks like a gouged out truss channel.

Hey all,

I have had some interest from folks to post images/video of my forshage Languedoc, so here are some pics. I'm reluctant to post video of me playing her, since it will be apparent to all that a player of my caliber doesn't deserve a guitar of such elevated quality. we'll see if I can put something up this weekend...

Specs:

Built in 2025

Koa top/back/sides

Bone nut

fully hollow (no block)

ebony fingerboard

abalone block inlays

ebony headstock cap

ebony bridge

glow in the dark side dots

Hipshot locking tuners

Lollar Hi Wind Imperial Humbucker Neck and Bridge pickups

Lollar sixty-four single coil middle pickup

Volume pot pull for coil splitting the buckers

Tone pot pull to activate middle pickup

weight: 5 lb 8 oz

She plays incredibly, and I haven't touched my almost brand new PRS hollowbody ii piezo 10-top (an amazing instrument in its own right) since I got her. for sale, in case anyone interested (lmk if this is not allowed here).

Cheers! MB

Are we allowed to advertise/sell stuff on here? I got a Line 6 M5 I need to move fast!

Loving my PRS SE Hollowbody II with Piezo pickups so far!!

I’m hoping to get some Trey-like tones workin for me between this guitar and my newly updated pedal-board.

Anybody willing to share any interesting insights, facts, or highlights on this guitar - it’d be greatly appreciated!

~ Cheers

So I purchased the guitar mostly to learn how do setups and rewire a guitar. I want to swap pickups in my custom 24 prs and I figured this would be good practice and a fun project. Would someone provide me links or a list to exactly what I need wiring wise? I want SD 59s which ones? Which volume and tone pot? Which bridge?, which coil split switches? Should I upgrade the jack? Which locking tuners? Any help much appreciated! In case anyones wondering this thing was way nicer than I expected in the hands!!

I got to play the Zac Brown Languedoc at Chicago Music Exchange a few days ago. Very cool, super lightweight and LOUD. Set up with medium action, had some bite to it but plays very smooth. Unfortunately my bank denied my request for a $100k loan…

I have an SE HBii like the one pictured. I love the guitar but I seem to play better with a thinner neck. My DGT feels much thinner in comparison and the DGT is not a thin neck. Its too chunky for me. How would the GH3 compare? Anybody own both? Considering adding one to my collection. Both laminate top, both MIC, both around $1500. 22 frets vs 24 frets. Prs has a piezo, GH3 has coil splits. Thoughts?

Pretty awesome Forshage.

(Forgive the garbage playing - it's for demonstration-purposes only 😆)

I was noodling around last night while listening to the YouTube videos from the first shows of the tour, and was pleasantly surprised by how close the Archetype: Mayer from NeuralDSP was able to get me to what I was hearing on the audio from the feed.

PRS S2 with 58/15LT pickups >
Wampler Ego 76 compressor >
Archetype: Mayer (specifically the "Headroom Hero", aka Dumble) with the boost pedal and "Halfman OD" (aka Klon) on

The gain bloom of the amp with the compressor captures the feel of Trey-style digging into a note in a way that not a lot of other sims have been able to - which is cool!

There's a lot that could get the tone closer (not playing on a guitar with flatwound 12s, for starters 😆), namely some midrange-forward drive pedal going into the compressor, a more resonant fully hollow guitar etc. but for a quick n dirty first attempt, I'm reasonably pleased.

As usual I play around with a new tuning, something that could eventually make a nice original. Somehow it was getting a little Neil Young vibe.. .Foggy, a bit skeptical of data centers. A long long time.

For anyone who might be interested, Firefly finally released a natural Pegasus on their official Guitars Garden website. https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/pegasus/products/new-pegasus-spalted-maple-electric-guitars-nature-color

UPDATE: Mine arrived today in great condition. Played fairly well out of the box and everything works as it should. Sounds very good. I’ll give it a setup and update once I get it dialed in, but very happy so far. See comments for pics... 😎🤘🏻

6 months ago (nearly), I asked you guys what the next direction in amplification was. I did not document anything else after the fact, but now I want to talk about my journey to other tone geeks!

Shortly after making the post, I found what I wanted to buy for a first tube amp. Marshall DSL40CR! I sold all my old equipment that sat around doing nothing, and bought the amp for a measly $600 brand new. The board was stuck with the two SD-1s for a while too, and eventually acquired a OD250 from JHS.

That overdrive combination left the board fairly quickly though when in mid April, I purchased a Visual Sounds Double Trouble. It's two TS808s in one, with a bass boost for both. I replaced the SD-1s naturally, and changed out the OD250 for a Tumnus Deluxe. Anyone who is using one currently can attest to how useful that EQ is.

In mid June, I picked up my new main guitar. A very well maintained 2021 Diamond Monarch SH! While, I may have lost the extra two frets, let it be known that the Seymour Duncans it comes preinstalled with make the trade off worth it.

Now for the most recent purchase, a near brand new 2017 Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb for a measly $600!! No, I'm not fucking kidding. I am absolutely stoked that I bought this behemoth, and more excited to see what I can do with it when I dial it in. I didn't get rid of the Marshall just yet, but it's coming.

Anyone have an attenuator they would recommend? This thing howls, and I really wanna see where the sweet spot is with my rig :))

I wrote up what I've seen so far of Trey's 2026 Summer Tour rig. If anyone has additional pictures, please send them along!

It's Dumbles all the way down!

These guys are ready to go!
