Trent Guitars - From the Workshop

sev112 · September 2021

Just a discussion on aesthetics - love the cream 90s and all the fab colours, but wondered whether that Olympic white ish one with black pick guard could have had a black p90, as the cream seems to clash with the white

hugely subjective I know

I have literally been eyeing short scale basses. Are you reading my mind

I'm supposed to be paying for the repair of my front garden wall, not wondering how I can raise the funds for a stunning guitar...

New guitar day for meeeee, model 1 just came in the post during my lunch break.

Here's a little video showing it off. Feels amazing, looks amazing, sounds killer. The p90s are to die for!

Nice riff. Did you make it up?

reubenmakesmusic · September 2021

Yep, I was inspired by a foxy lady

markarkark · September 2021

Looks amazing! Lovely playing as well.

Hello all!

So I have to apologise for my brief absence from this thread, as it happens I did take on a last minute rush (commercial) job over the last 10 days to get some money in the bank. After several 12 hour days it's delivered and I have just had a wonderful Monday back making guitars, I simply cannot wait until it's my sole source of income, true joy!

So I have some very exciting builds coming up, a teaser being a 3xP90, a Baritone (neck not pictured) and a review piece for Guitar magazine,

My Debut that was with Tony has now been to Joe Barton at Guitar Nerds as some of you may have heard, and now it's with Bobby Jarvis of instagram/TikTok fame (https://www.instagram.com/jarvisguitar/)

Here's a couple of images from the workshop

This batch is coming together,

Sanded up and ready for spraying, I did drill all the holes for the output jacks and neck pockets after this picture!

Also made solid progress on the 30" Bass project, note the swimming pool route that will accomodate both a split P or vintage style single coil with a simple pickguard swap.

Can't beat a detail shot, with the timber being so soft my chisels always need to be razor sharp too, this is finessing the treble side neck pocket.

Bass is an interesting concept.

TrentGuitars · October 2021

Been a solid week in the workshop!

Necks nearly complete, bodies getting polished up, more spraying!

Simply amazing!

I think it's great that we have threads like this. How often are people this open about how they make their products?

Model 1 custom finished up,

HB in the bridge which is coil switched with the toggle between the knobs, open pore satin, modern locking tuners, bakelite guard and a huge neck carve (25.4mm at 1st and 12th)

This is the best one yet. Simply amazing. It's almost exactly what I'd want.

This one will be off to Guitar magazine..

What a beauty! If it plays and sounds as good as it looks, zero luck will be needed.

Mattharrier · October 2021

Bugger me, that's a lovely photo...

Good luck Elliott, not that you need it

@TrentGuitars ; I check this thread every day, just in case there's new Model 1 loveliness to behold. Just saying...

Thanks man! I’ve been buried in getting guitars finished up, best place for most frequent updates is Instagram :-)

TrentGuitars · November 2021

Another one complete, this is a R&D one, with a red cedar body and a grain pourous finish!

D_Boult · November 2021

That white is just absolutely perfect.... wow!

Mattharrier · November 2021

God damn it man, you're really confusing me. I didn't think I liked white guitars, or tortoiseshell for that matter!

Seriously, these are all looking amazing.

Howdy, Stranger!
