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!
Really any PAF style pickups. But the key to his tone is his old Ross Compressor, and now his Analogman Comprossor (just ordered one). Most compressors will probably get you close, but he uses a ton of compression. Also a Tube Screamer is part of his pedalboard.
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.
