Re: Trent Guitars
I really like your headstock shape - modern, but not too pointy

Re: Trent Guitars
Very cool looking guitars!
I like the looks of your finishes, and that they are water based. I'm curious to see how they will age.
Cheers

Re: Trent Guitars
Nice clean designs, will you ever offer them with a offset tremolo?

Re: Trent Guitars
Yey, more tele parts on a random guitar. That's new and refreshing.
I like the shape.

Re: Trent Guitars
very nice, especially that white/cream one. the modern look reminds me of the deimel firestar, but obviously based off a Jazzmasters rather than a firebird.

Re: Trent Guitars
Hello everyone,
I'm a couple years down the line now! I've been very fortunate with some solid sales and currently struggling to keep up making them all - but I'm getting there! Been able to fulfill a lot of dreams along the way like getting guitars to a few of my absolute favourite artists.
I've recently started manufacturing my own offset bridge and vibrato unit, they are both mostly modern approximations of the original design so nothing particularly groundbreaking however they are very honestly and solidly made. The vibrato unit is made entirely from 303 stainless and has some great features like a dead sharp fulcrum plate and a screw in collet that actually works - I've made it in a way that it gets tighter as you screw it in to give you a little adjust ability. It's essentially like an elongated nyloc which creates more and more friction as you screw it. The bridge is also made entirely from 303 stainless, its a rocking design like the original and the bridge height screws are again secured in position with a similar system to staytrem but in lieu of nylon I'm actually using a clear PVC tube section inset into the bridge post. I use a 3 saddle design, the saddles themselves I designed and had machined locally, like all the parts. The middle saddle can be flipped if you'd like a wound G, too.
Anyway, self promotion achieved, they are available now on my website separate from the guitars!
Thanks so much!
