Yeah, I really haven fallen in love with making them!
Thank you! I’m so pleased with all the headstock feedback as I feel it can make of break a guitar.
Yeah the headstock swatch is a cheaper solution than forking out the material cost and tone each time for sure. I would love to be able to show more of them complete but I think it will be limited to each time someone orders one.

Nice to see yellow and orange as on option on the Trents.
One of my hopes/ambitions when we originally set up the forum was that it should be a platform or channel for the various small UK builders & businesses (hence the Made in the UK section). Give them an opportunity to engage directly with their market, gather (informed) feedback, and help counteract the massive marketing budgets of the majors. Regrettably, limitations of the forum software stopped us from implementing some of the ideas, but I think the @TrentGuitars experience demonstrates some of the potential.
I’ve got 20-odd, though probably half of them have come out of my own workshop!
(sneak peak from the workshop thread)
A nod to classic design but also its own thing - that's hard to pull off. Well done!
Here's a link to an Imgur gallery rather than flooding this page! These arnt all the combinations and only have the cream plastics, but it gives you a good idea!

This is one of my personal favourites from the album...
R.e. The headstock... I really like the more angular one from before. I don’t dislike the newer one, it’s just the old one feels like you’ve got a shape and design and committed to it. It’s bold. Softening the edges feels like a compromise maybe?
Lovely looking guitar though and good luck with it all!
There'll be some community old timers who might remember the Jooky build that pretty much toured the country, North to South and East to West, being passed from hand to hand in service station car parks and other popular meeting places.
I'd have thought that the "usual suspects" in and around the SE could arrange something on a more restricted geographical scale. An opportunity to try out a different guitar from a new builder for a week or two, opportunity to hang around a dodgy car park in the twilight hours to meet a friendly stranger (and hand the guitar on to the next test driver). Maybe write up some thoughts / comments here. Perhaps add a sound/video clip or two.
I don't remember who was involved in the Jooky tour, but @McToot always seems to be involved in things ....
