Charles Dent
My name is Charles Dent, and I am a Sales Engineer here at Sweetwater. I’ve been playing guitar for over half my life and feel at home on most stringed instruments. I love playing baritones and 7- and 8-strings. I’ve been recording my own projects for the last few years, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with my customers!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Panama City, Florida, although my father was military, so we traveled quite a bit before settling.

Instruments you play:
I play the guitar mainly, but I enjoy playing almost all stringed instruments. I have a little experience playing piano, but I wouldn’t say I’m a pianist by any stretch.

Gear you own:
Currently, I am playing a variety of guitars, but my favorite is my Ormsby Hype GTI, and that’s going straight into my Line 6 Helix. I wasn’t sure about modeling until the Helix came out, and now it’s completely replaced my previous rig.

Family info:
My wife and I recently married before moving to Ft. Wayne. We don’t have any children, but we do have a Chiweenie named Jimmy Pesto and a cat named Kida.

Other stuff we should know about you (hobbies, talents, interests, etc.):
I’m a huge fan of horror movies and, for a brief time, considered pursuing a career in that industry. I actually have my degree in video production and still make short films with friends when I have the time.

Guilty pleasure of choice:
I don’t really like to think of anything as a guilty pleasure. I love a little bit of everything, but I know every word to “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj.
