I know a large portion of his sound comes from his guitar being a hollowbody, but what pickups would pull me closest to his tone. SD or others. Thanks!

From the last interview I read, he was using Schaller pickups called Super Golden 50s.

But that's been awhile back and he could have changed by now!

In a GW interview, his pickups were stated as being custom-wound PAF-style. '59s would probably be a good cheaper alternative.

You should get a bazillion pedals, too

Trey's tone underwent a huge evolution throughout his career and continues to do so.
For the early stuff, a set of Seths will nail it IMO
Dunno about the current set up, but I do know that the late phish circa 2000 was a '59 and JB (farmhouse was recorded with this setup).
Most of his tone was also a result of the amp speaker.



See I told ya he's prolly switched since I last read an article on him

Here's a similar thread: from : localhost//forum/showthread.php?t=38221

I think he actually runs two tubescreamers, one into the other. I think they're modded by Analogman too, but I'm not sure.
