This new guitar, finished in July, was made from a beautiful piece of koa that Paul had been saving for some time. It’s the first guitar where he used wood binding (contrasted with the white edging from guitars) and the first time color inlays were used.

Paul built the solid body Time guitar that was used on Junta, the Mar Mar series (the prototype in padauk can be seen above and was played through much of the ’90s) and the first Languedoc made from koa (Trey’s main guitar for much of the past decade).
The inlay at the 12th and 24th fret is a Ghanaian symbol Gye Nyame (jeh N-yah-me), translated as ‘Except for God’. Long inspired by the music of West Africa, Trey once gave members of Senegalese legends Orchestra Baobab two Languedoc guitars as gifts.
