Trent Guitars is a small-batch electric guitar workshop based in Poole, on the south coast of England, founded and run by luthier Elliott Trent. A former cabinetmaker, Trent began developing his first production instrument in late 2020 and has since built the brand around offset-style guitars made with a sustainability-first ethos.
The shop's flagship is the Model 1, an offset electric designed around what Trent describes as a 'tool-like' simplicity, prioritising playability and reliability over ornamentation. The lineup has expanded to include the Model 1 Bass and Model 2. Bodies and necks are cut from sustainably harvested timber, finishes use water-based paints, and most of the hardware — including the control plate, neck plate, hardtail bridge, saddles, and vibrato unit — is machined within roughly a mile of the workshop. The instruments are built without animal products, using Graph Tech TUSQ nuts and non-animal glues.
The guitars have been used live by Hester Chambers of Wet Leg and by Madison Cunningham, with Model 1 appearances at venues including Wembley Stadium, the BRIT Awards, and Madison Square Garden. Outside of direct sales through the workshop, Trent Guitars are stocked by UK retailers including Home of Tone and Windmill Guitars.
Trent Guitars has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Elizabeth Stokes, Hester Chambers, and Madison Cunningham.
