Liz of @thebeths wanted a few extra special bits for her M2, in addition to the original parchment guard with P90s I’ve made a brand new custom set of humbuckers in my own P90 covers, all 3D printed, lots of choices! Really pops with the pearl guard, too! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato

Anyone else into the Coodercaster vibe? My tribute here in the form of the Trent model one. Great sound and awesome looks. @trentguitars model one in Ben’s blue (that’ll never get old), @rothkoandfrost dark tort guard, UFO knobs from @homeoftonejames and @mojopickups gold foil neck and lapsteel bridge. #trentguitars #trentmodel1 #bensblue #coodercaster #offsetguitars #tortpickguard #veganguitar #goldfoilpickups #lapsteelpickup #matchingheadstock #guitaroftheday #gearycoleman #gearacquisitionsyndrome #guitarsofinstagram #fenderamps #deluxereverb #tonemaster
I discovered @thebeths around a year ago and I’ve been totally hooked ever since. The NZ based 4 piece is headed up by the incredible Elizabeth Stokes, who I’ve made this guitar for! I simply love her music and I’m thrilled she was up for speccing out her own Model 2! You all must go and check them out if you haven’t already, expect mega catchy lyrics, a huge sound and Liz’s iconic voice. Also make sure to check out their YouTube for some stellar music videos! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato

Which one calls out to you? Over the past few years I’ve made some really wonderful specs for the Model 1, from simple through to wild!

Despite being a self admitted enjoyer of unadorned plain maple necks, there’s something fun about really making a neck blank pop. This is again with my fully waterbased lacquer. The first step is to sand the lot to 320, then wipe on an amber stain that sinks into the figure. It’s then flatted off with 600 and a couple of coats of my usual amber tinted lacquer. I do these ultra flamey necks on special request, happy to accommodate! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato

Catching this years Brit awards I can’t help but remember that amazing moment last year when @wetlegband took home a couple awards and performed playing two guitars by two small makers, Rhian playing a @rubyguitars and Hester playing one of mine. Can’t thank them enough for choosing to pick them up and the legend that is @davelarkin_ is a huge reason for this so thank you too mate! Oh and included is previously unseen footage of my live dumbfounded reaction to it (I had no idea it was coming) #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibrato
I think oyster white has to be my favourite, it always looks so wonderful with tort!

The beauty of speccing custom guitars is all in the details. Absolutely love the UFO knobs, pickguard material and pickup selection here and forever grateful to Elliott @trentguitars for accommodating all my hopes and dreams into this model one. I love seeing the awesome choices people are making on their Trents.

I’ve wanted a proper Jones & Shipman Arbour Press for some time now for pressing frets. I’ve been using a cheap eBay one since day 1 but my very talented welding friend @atomicweldinguk had this one sitting in his workshop going unused. He kindly sold it to me and I set about stripping the paint off, cleaning the lot and giving it a paint and facing the base plate on the lathe, lovely! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato
@nobuyuki.rush has been keeping me up to date with his studio reno, he has a couple of my most loved guitars!

More trips down memory lane when @huwbert who’s one of my oldest friends came down to help me launch the M1, this is the original one! Huw was an incredible sounding board early on and really helped me develop pretty much everything about the model 1, we don’t live near anymore but I basically blew up his WhatsApp on the daily with all my experimenting, wouldn’t be here without you bud! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato

Finishing up some guitars this weekend and thought you might enjoy this never before posted pre final prototype M1. This was made in the tail end of 2020, it doesn’t exist anymore (foolishly) but it served as basically the last bit of development for the model. I was still making furniture full time, feels like a lifetime ago compared to what I do now - I’m very lucky! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibrato
Mack sent in this lovely shot of his M1 settling into its new home, he sent in some really kind words, it’s safe to say he loves it (and he has quite the collection!) thanks mate! @mackduehring #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibra
I’ve been adding my own little touches to my P90s for r some time now, most of them have these acrylic baseplates in peach that I made, and now I’ve discovered patterned washi tape.. none of this is visible but I know it’s there, #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibrato
Absolutely love this worn gloss M1, with subtle marks on the body it ends up having a wonderfully tactile feel with a super comfy rounded fretboard, 25.5” scale with 9.5” in radius, full in house vibrato and bridge, the colour is matched to a vintage daphne blue duo sonic - has that slight green shift but still that lovey mellow blue, #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato
Guitar building is mostly sanding, forget CNC or routers this is where the magic happens. We should all buy shares in Mirka.

FOR SALE: to kick 2024 off heres another workshop model for sale, this the one I made up over Christmas, it’s a body made from that Honduran mahogany from those 1950’s work bench tops with a maple neck and rosewood board. Full vibrato and bridge made by me and it now even features a stainless tremolo tip I’ve made (not pictured). 25.5” scale, 12” radius and a lovely 7lb 4oz, proper one off!

Peach sparkle M1 will be the first going out this year, full @descendantvibrato with my lovely thin skin water based finish. Two of my handwound P90s and it will or course be having a spotted tort guard to go with it too! 25.5” scale with a 12” radius, plays a dream! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 #pickups #descendant #vibrato
During the short winter break I like to try and explore ideas, this is a remix on my m2 from builds past, I always have a soft spot for the walnut finish. It’s a differently contoured body, with a new pickguard design inspired by the older Gibson double cuts, my vibrato works well on it too! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibrato
Great day to share this completely bonkers M1, the centrepiece of course being the sustainer FSK401 from Fernandes, which took a great deal of time to carefully wire as it’s built to go in a strat - but it sounds incredible! Combine that with a kill switch, one of my P90s in the middle and the always excellent @descendantvibrato . It has @eobofficial of course and the subtle sparkle finish really tops it off for me, happy holidays! #guitar #handmade #crafted #trent #trentguitars #ukmade #woodwork #luthier #craftsman #utility #heirloom #timeless #jazzmaster #offset #customshop #p90 o #pickups #descendant #vibra
