One of these is for my friend Nick Costley-White here in London, so I look forward to trying it soon! I believe two of the others are going to Pasquale Grasso and Will Sellenraad.

I’m liking the new headstock with the continuous curved corners.

Great point with the offset tuners- I’ll pass it along to Bryant.

What's with the new popsicle headstock?

In fact - I spoke with my good friend Larry W yesterday - and he really likes the continuous corner radius design and will likely be ordering one.
These Trenier Jazz electrics are really extraordinary guitars and offer the player something different than other market offerings.

Try to find one to play and let me know what you think. If you visit NY you can play mine.Last edited by QAman; 07-22-2019 at 07:54 PM.

My biggest guitar regret is having never purchased a Trenier. And I agree that the headstock change, imo, is truly complimentary. Does anyone do D'Aquisto style shading as good as Trenier? Big fan!

Pasquale is a player that can own or play any guitar and he chooses the Trenier for good reason. It enables him to get that pianistic tone which compliments his playing.Last edited by QAman; 07-26-2019 at 07:50 AM.

I'm keenly looking forward to comparing my 2020 Trenier Jazz Special to my 2013 Andersen Vanguard Laminate. I think Trenier put more R&D into his laminates than Andersen did; the Andersen is a wonderful guitar but I suspect Trenier's laminate plates are nicer from what I've heard so far on the interweb.

Just gorgeous !

Geez!

He's posted some even newer pics on FB of another Jazz Special from the same batch!! He's killing me with all these pics. I was patiently hanging around waiting for my 2020 build but all these sumptuous photos are getting me ancy...

Beautiful guitar!
Does the first fret inlay read Trenier? If so, I find this form of “badging” a bit odd for such a tastefully executed instrument.
Curious to know if that was a customer request.
