Pasquale has become a global jazz phenomenon. A sensational player whose versatility enables him to perform in small clubs and on the big stage. He can also choose any guitar he wants.......but the Trenier is his choice, and its become a trademark of his sound.

My 2016 Trenier Motif (which I think was completed in 2018), and which is the very same guitar Pasquale plays on Bryant's site in a video, is still available for sale! I personally delivered it to archtop.com on a recent road trip. Guitar is in fantastic condition. I just don't have enough time for all my guitars. It was on hold but is available again. You probably wouldn't use it for a 5,000 person Jeff Beck opening gig, but it's a fantastic acoustic archtop and it sounds great with plectrum or with the fingers.

Please drop me a line if you'd like to commission an instrument for 2022/2023, after that, I'll be making instruments in "collections" for immediate sale.
Thanks for having a look, and for your ongoing support,

I dig the Dearmond Model 40/41.
Real secret weapon pickup.
Tailpiece controls have been around for a long time.
Vega used them in North America.
Fuma (and probably others as well) used them in Germany.Last edited by Hammertone; 07-23-2022 at 11:03 PM.

From photos on Trenier's Instagram account, three of the current batch of four Jazz Specials in progress will have floating pickups of some kind. The fourth will have a traditional three screw mount Charlie Christian pickup.

Bryant keeps getting Orders for these , so it’s been hard to get back to carving. Pasquale Grasso loves his floater laminate - and so do many other people.
Plug this into a Henriksen blu6 and it’s hard to beat.

He will get back to carving. My guitar is next.

As usual, some exquiste guitars will be coming to life soon.

Bryant just posted this to Instagram. He’s stringing up the current batch of Jazz electrics.
Who else gets this acoustic tone from a laminate ……….no one.
Bryant Trenier on Instagram: "Who says laminated plates are dead? I'm continually impressed by the resonance of these little guitars.

So his carved plates are so alive they spawn offspring everywhere?
Wouldn't that be something ...

I think of it as a bit more 3D control over grain.
Besides, laminate flat-tops are looked down upon, but use balsa for the middle layer and all of a sudden you get a desirable double-top (on paper at least)

Looks and sounds wonderful!
Ibanez pm200?
