Justin Stabler, a custom guitar builder and experienced guitar tech, joined Trey’s team as a guitar tech in mid-2021. Justin has extensive experience working on guitars, including time at 30th Street Guitars in New York City and Joe Glaser Instruments in Nashville. He also builds custom instruments under the name Apollo Custom Guitars.
Stabler got his start as a touring tech when a guitar player for Lauryn Hill called 30th Street Guitars in New York looking for help on an overseas tour. Stabler toured with Hill for several years, and went on to tech for guitarists touring with Ricky Martin and Hall & Oates. Immediately before joining Trey’s team, Stabler was tech for John Shanks while Shanks toured with Bon Jovi, and sometimes worked with Jon Bon Jovi on private engagements.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Justin. We know this team is going to do incredible things with this rig!
Awesome, I was wondering about the saddles on the koa 1. They look very much like bone saddles and not brass. Especially in the closeup pics from when you got to tour treys setup. What are they??? If they are brass they look totally different than the newer ones Paul uses. Thanks!!!

It would be interesting to hear all this started. Justin’s crushing it so far! Quite the rig to maintain.

I love the tight & focused gain sound but wonder if I am the only one noticing the clean tones not having as much “depth” as before? It seems like I’m not getting as much of the hollowbody “thickness”?? Maybe we aren’t hearing enough of the wet rig in the mix? What are the thoughts of the group? Cheers!
