Noted as one the Southeast?s most distinctive Arts and Entertainment PR and Marketing firms, FRESH Productions and Marketing is proud to announce their newest clients Jack Dent Guitars and Steve Rothery, guitarist for Marillion and The Wishing Tree.

Jack Dent, a native of North Carolina, is an artist and craftsman whose signature work is handcrafted guitars that rival any other custom guitar in the marketplace. Made of the finest woods, designed with the true musician or collector in mind and offering technical attributes that are unique only to his instruments, Jack Dent Guitars are synonymous with superiority, superb functionality and uncompromising design.



Dent?s signature SR model holds the key for guitarists: Tone and Sustain from his extraordinary one piece neck with the Throughbody Tenon. The basic SR body shape allows for maximum natural resonance and oscillation to provide pure, crisp sustain. Additionally, Jack Dent Guitars only uses fine instrument grade and premium tone woods including antique mahogany and genuine swamp ash.

As a result, it comes as no surprise that, Steve Rothery, the renowned guitarist for Marillion and The Wishing Tree would be the first to own a custom SR Model that will bear his name and set a new precedent for progressive and rock guitar for years to come.

Rothery, the cornerstone of sound for Marillion and The Wishing Tree has played on 15+ albums and is regarded within the classic rock community genre to be a leader in technical prowess and unique resonance. Rothery is heralded by many fans of Marillion as providing their defining sound - with his signature clean toned, high-sustain Stratocaster soloing. Rothery?s tonal style and consideration of every note sets him apart from other guitar players as he knows, importantly, 'what not to play' ... a case of 'less is more'.* When FRESH Productions and Marketing looked for an endorser for Jack Dent?s guitars, Steve Rothery was a natural and perfect match. The result? Rothery has found his latest instrument of sound in Jack Dent?s designs.

FRESH Productions and Marketing CEO, Kim Thore notes, "We are honored to represent two of the finest artists on two continents. Jack?s work is unlike anything else in the custom guitar market and Rothery is clearly a ground breaking guitarist who has long deserved his own signature model."

FRESH Productions and Marketing COO, Dr. Jon Epstein adds, " Having worked professionally with Marillion for the past 20 years, I am very excited to be a part of this new partnership with Steve and Jack. I believe Steve to be one of the best guitarists in the classic rock scene and as a professional musician, myself- I believe the signature SR Jack Dent Guitars will change the way guitarists play.?
