Trey Gunn Signature Series

14 Degree Tilt-back Headstock:
This steeper angle increases sustain and tone. It is a superior design to the non-tilt-back style headstock. It takes more wood and labor to achieve the construction of this type of headstock. Furthermore, it is more difficult to locate the proper quarter-sawn laminates to achieve this design. Though this increases the cost of wood and labor, the resulting quality in tone is noticeable and worth it!

Graphite Neck Reinforcement:
Our findings show that an all graphite neck tends to be a bit sterile sounding, lacking the warmth of wood. However, using graphite as a structural reinforcement increases the rigidity of the neck, adding deeper tone while maintaining the warm characteristics of the wood. This design also increases sustain, making it the optimal choice!

Bridge placement on the node:
There is a place on the guitar body, that when tapped, you will hear a focused resonant note. This is where we place the bridge on the TGSS model. The advantage to this is, that it further reduces any dead notes, and helps to produce even volume levels from string to string. This results in a larger body design with increased mass. More mass, more tone.

The Drum Theory:
The body of the TGSS has been elongated with bridge placement nearer to the center. Imagine a drum. When the drum is struck on the edge, you get a thin drum tone. When it is struck in the center, you get a full drum tone. The same applies to instrument design.

Weighted Tuned Headstock "WTH":
We have added a proprietary technology to the construction of the TGSS model headstock. The design consists of a tuned placement of mass contained within the headstock. The result is a fuller, deeper bottom-end, heard on all notes. Furthermore, It helps in producing a more even volume level from string to string.

The best and most versatile instrument I have ever owned. Beautiful tone (even unplugged) and a joy to play. have the eight string version and can see myself buying a ten string in the near future.

The Trey Gunn you are looking at on this page and the home page of this site is mine.
Its the best touch instrument in the world and is awesome to play, to look at and to
hold. It lives up to everything mentioned above and then some.

In the past Mark built me two Artists: an all Maple one and a Bumbunga and Ash one. They are 12 string midi and I have managed to get them to track incredibly well.

I'm now contemplating getting the Metal, as if I need another Warr...........one can never get enough.

I bought my TGSS 10-string back in... I believe it was in the fall of '06. When I first go it all I could think was... well I couldn't really think. I was so awestruck by the instrument that when I finally went to go play it I didn't know what to do. This thing really is a work of art.

I had to put it down for my first 2 years of college but I've finally started to learn how to play this thing and all I can say is WOW! These really are first-rate instruments. My only regret is that I didn't know about you guys sooner!

Overall, my TGSS is unrivaled in its stage presence and overall tone. Thanks guys, you really made something over-the-top!
