NGD Trent Junior

So far I think I'm the second fretboard member to buy one of these (or at least to show it off).

Just to add some more details to what @punchesjudy said, I ordered the guitar on 21st June and it arrived today (23rd July) So I've had a month of checking the progress on here. The whole process of watching it being built and the attention to detail has been amazing.

In terms of size and weight (mass) it's about the same dimensions as an SG. The SG classic is heavier.

Headstock looks nice and the tuners are rock solid. The frets feel thinner that the Gibsons and the neck just feels like a fender to me. My only experience was playing someone's USA telecaster and it feels a lot like that.

Finish wise, it's a beauty. The lacquer itself is quite soft and will mark easily but this is going to be my main playing and recording guitar.

Sound wise, it's much brighter than the SG with p90s. More like a telecaster come jazzmaster. A really great mix of brightness, clarity and grit. The SG sounds muddy in comparison. The pickups look like a different spacing to the bridge but that's something I will probably never notice again. Certainly not soundwise.

Overall It's a quality bit of kit and the coolest looking guitar I've ever seen. I'm chuffed to bits with it.
Dealing with Elliot (Trent) @TrentGuitars has also been a pleasure. He kept in touch at every stage and I know that if there were any issues he would go out of his way to deal with them.

Now back to playing it.

Congrats! So good man. Great colour choice as well. Can’t stop playing mine at the moment. Every time I walk past it I have to stop and noodle for a few minutes.
