James' Home of Tone, now a dealer for Trent Guitars!
I'm very pleased to announce that I am now a dealer for Trent Guitars! Made near the south coast of the UK, 2021 founded Trent Guitars lead by owner and maker Elliott Trent has quickly gained a great following due to the design, quality and eco friendly unique approach to guitar making. Elloitt's workworking comes from experience in cabinet and furniture making, running his own business in the field for a decade prior to Trent Guitars.
So although the Trent brand is a pretty fresh one, the passion for the craft and attention to woodworking detail goes way beyond the brand's birth. You can read more about Elliott's history and ethos via a great interview with Guitar.com here
The first Trent guitar I saw was via the great Guitar Nerds Podcast group, and some photos shared of a classy british green Model 1. The lovely headstock shape, painted to match the body adorning a really neat, modern yet almost retro logo/type caught my eye first. But I was glad to see the body shape was just as good, with a super clean offset design.
I have followed ever since, have been lucky to have spent some time with Elliott's own Model 1 build (the vibrant pink example photographed above) and was incredibly impressed by his work. The guitars surpassed expectation so I am now very very proud to say I am a Trent Guitars dealer right here in the heart and centre of the UK; Stourbridge in the West Midlands!
I have two builds now on the wait list to be built, specs for both can be viewed over on the Trent Guitars collection and look forward to spec'ing more and finding them new homes too!
