On bass I kind of set a basic price range as being up to $150 is cheap range and squire makes one at this price range. Next level goes to about $400- $500 these are the entry level. Some come with ebony fretboards and reinforced necks. Then $500- $1000 is mid level in which most basses are of good quality and materials. Then $1000-$2000 is high level imports. You can get American Fenders in this range, but that is about it. At $1000 you can start seeing stainless steel frets and EMGs. Guitars seem to follow a similar cost structure, although guitar seems to be cheaper it might run like up to $150 basic, $150-$400 entry level, $400-$800 mid level, $800- $1200 high level, and $1200- $2000 top of the line imports and American made.
I was browsing for an humbucker guitar and got one of the new Squier Troublemaker Tele coming my way for ~$400. Then I saw one of these Trinities on Reverb for around the same price and thought it was a seriously good deal, but you just made me realize I probably did a good choice with the Squier. I love how they look, how they're experimenting with the brand and their quality is not bad at all nowadays!
Purpose it could serve is you could swap pickups for each gig, like a 50's rock night you use whichever sounds best, then swap for country night, then swap for metal night. Not that it is common just seems the most applicable way to use the guitar. If you are able to set up more pickups to be used so you could set up some humbuckers, P90s, and single coils then swap each out and compare the sound. Overall, it is a cool looking cheap guitar. If you are able to set up your own pickups to use it will be a cool way to test out pickups.
Yeah. That’s true. I mean, there are uses for it, I’m just not sure I know how practical they are. Can you imagine getting to a gig, “I FORGOT MY BRIEFCASE FULL OF PICKUPS!!!” 🤣
@@CompanyGrip It has no real advantage as a touring guitar. Only people that could make it practical are demo channels and guitar shops. They might help sell pickups.
@@CompanyGrip I thought the same but to be honest it might be a newer one. Maybe the last run of them?? Either way you got a new follower!! keep up the vids. This guy had a short video of one that has the same head stock. ua-cam.com/users/shortsCfQMCNvfUug?si=bb6k_ZL3qfZc2gtp
This body makes me think they tried to make a les paul and then decided to make a telecaster. Finished and just cut the top part off to make a better belly cut. The part above the horn is a little weird looking.

Those troublemaker guitars look pretty cool! Let me know how it is!

Just pick up one of these used. Only one question my headstock just reads relish. Nothing about trinity any thoughts? All wood… bolt on neck
Interesting! I haven’t seen one that doesn’t say Trinity before. But same guitar I’m sure. Maybe it’s a very early model?

This guy had a short video of one that has the same head stock.

Yeah! Maybe you’re right! I see that video is only 6 months old. Cheers!

Agreed. It’s a super weird looking body. Hahah! I think all the Relish guitars looked really weird. I don’t think it will age well. Haha
Dude, I am about 3:20 into this video and it sounds like this guitar was made with cheap parts. Cheap parts = needing repair or replacement often.
Yes. Exactly! Haha
Well that sucks. I really like the body style. You should donate it. I know a guy lol
