Trenier guitars

[QAman]

For those Trenier guitar admirers, I just came across this article from Jazzfuel naming Trenier guitars as one of the top 10 World wide brands for jazz guitars, listed just below Gibson.

Some Broadway photos up on Trenier's Facebook and Instagram pages today:

A few more for the ongoing Broadway series. As many of you know, 2020 was damaged in shipping, so here is 2020 version 2, along with 2021.

I've said it before, this guy sprays the absolute nicest burst out there.

So true. Bryant's shading is superb. He told me he learned a great deal about this technique by watching the video I made of my 1991 D'Aquisto excel build. I stood behind Jimmy with my video camera and captured the entire spraying process. It was done at midnight.

Bryant obtained the video many years ago( before we met) from a copy I made for Larry W.

I hope that this time Jimmy was wearing a respirator, unlike the clip of him spraying a guitar on YouTube.

Unfortunately, Jimmy was not wearing a respirator. I also have video footage of my Dad’s D’Aquisto New Yorker Special being sprayed by Jimmy in 1977 - and he wasn’t wearing a respirator.

Paulie, what model is this? I have a Model E with a built in p/u, but I don’t recall seeing another Trenier with one.

Hey Mark, its a really early Trenier model from 2006 that was a one-off custom build for a customer. I bought it used a year or so back. Here are the specs:

• Body size at lower bout: 16 "
• Body Depth: 2 3/4"
• Solid bookmatched handcarved European spruce top
• handcarved figured black walnut back and sides
• solid 2-piece mahogany neck
• solid ebony fingerboard
• pearl headstock logo
• curly maple body binding

Bryant Trenier just posted details of a newly-completed Broadway to Facebook:

I think the Broadway has been the most popular model I’ve made, it’s traditional look and tone seem to hold their appeal even in this modern age. I recently decided to make a cutaway version - 16.5”, x-braced, with some of my best Czech spruce and a block of eastern maple I’ve had well over a decade. I used a vintage Grover tailpiece as well, to complete the look. The result is one of the loudest, fullest sounding instruments I’ve ever made.

What an amazing burst. Just wow.

Finally! That is so beautiful. I’ve just spent 5 minutes staring at that photo. The absence of a pick guard highlights the stunning finish and the beautiful simplicity of the model. ‘Just wow’ sums it up perfectly. I wish you many happy hours together.

In case you missed it, I recorded a quick clip and shared it in another thread, but I feel like it's a good idea to cross post it in this very, very long thread about Trenier guitars.

[Paulie2]

Just posted the whole gig in the showcase forum, but since there has been little activity on the Trenier thread I figured I would cross post it here as well but start directly on a solo at 49:38. Using my Trenier into a DV Mark Little Jazz.

Here's a link to that post with some more on the concert and tunes: Combo Set with drummer Quentin Baxter

Bryant emailed me yesterday to let me know that he's starting on the new batch of Jazz Specials, which will include mine.

Bryant posted photographs of two new guitars to Instagram yesterday.

Calore, #2. 7 or 8 years ago I made a guitar called the "Calore". This is a revision of the model, a design direction I intend to further explore in the coming years. 18" body, sound port, etc., etc., etc.....

[David B]

Continental #2. This is the second in the "Continental" series, continuing the work of past masters. I'll try to post a few sound clips in the coming days, this one is absolutely remarkable.

I don't think an archtop gets more beautiful than that.
