I like the perimeter trim Bryant incorporated into the tail pc and finger rest - very tasteful !

Steve,
Another “unseen” touch he incorporated was to hide the pickup volume and tone controls. They are accessible beneath the pickguard.

After so many years of playing and a large number of guitars passing through I know pretty well what I want + what to expect from this type of guitar (16", lam top etc.) and what it will be able to put out. I went with him because of his reputation as a very talented luthier - I could have gone with Holst, Borys and a few others in that league but at the time he had an open slot for a Jazz Special build and after a few exchanges with other Trenier owners I pounced. After I got the guitar it took me a few months of tweaking, changing strings, picks, a few trips to my luthier before it had finally settled in and I found my way "into" this instrument, learning it's secrets so to say, where it will go with me and where I'd better choose a different "vehicle". So trying not to sound too full of my self I can now honestly say that I do sound like my unique self with this guitar. The size, weight + neck shape make it an extremely comfortable guitar FOR ME and Mr. Trenier's unique abilities with wood allow me to make it sound like me, without any undue effort - it just took some patience but that was to be expected.

The 2020 16" L5 style is going to our own Omphalospsychos. The 2021 D'Angelico style is 16.5".

Two breathtaking guitars. Whew! Bryant is truly an artist. The burst finishes are incredibly beautiful.

Bryant sent me some personal sound clips of these two guitars the other day and they sound like my Trenier Broadway and a Gibson Snakehead L5. Its amazing how he consistently replicates the tone for each build style. They each have a fantastic voice,..... reminiscent of what you'd expect to find during a visit to Gibson , or John D'Angelico shop in the mid 30's. I can only imagine what these will sound like in 1 year when the lacquer hardens ......wow.
This is the experience Bryant Trenier provides ......and its quite hard to beat. No one does this hand rubbed finish better- which dates back to Loar period.
As a builder, you have to immerse yourself in the history to pull off this level of excellence.

Look at the detail on this guitar that Bryant built for his wife. He perfectly matched the grain of the top with the grain of the binding. Who else does that!!??

Hi Mark, that top has no binding - instead, he inlaid a purfling line like it's usually done on violins and cellos, mandolins etc. That way you see the natural edge of the top plate. Not many builders do this - Koentop comes to mind,
Benedetto on his La Venezia model, David Morse, Scharpach and maybe a few others. An edge-binding serves primarily as a protection against bumps and in second stance as a "bling" feature.
