As a woodworker and guitarist I get a woody just looking at that! Exciting!
I wonder if he uses a template and drills depth holes, or uses a CNC machine, or just carves it by instinct? Curious.

The Trenier Georgian is moving along -the back was just glued to the sides and Bryant is carving the spruce top. It’s the cutaway.

Stevie, another work of art coming together nicely.
I saw Bryant playing some Johnny Smith stuff. My kinda guy!
Stay well buddy

The Trenier Georgian - serial number 1150 is moving along. Here are a few updates today from Uzes France. Since Bellflower inlays are the main theme, Bryant added one on interior neck block - viewed through the side port. I have a feeling he might continue this down the neck - but that’s entirely up to him.

Coming along nicely! I would be climbing the walls in anticipation. Stay strong!

That looks fabulous, Steve! Love the sound port. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I'm living vicariously through you! Stay well, my friend!

QA, coming along nicely. I must say, that Is one heck of a port. That guitar will not have any problem letting sound out that is for sure.
I love how the sound hole is not only a sound hole, but a window that showcases the magnificent workmanship inside the guitar as well.
Getting pretty exciting!

Steve,
I think everyone is champing at the bit waiting for the next episode
in this build, I've never seen a Trenier in the flesh but its already
looking good in the rough.It must be nail biting waiting ,like anticipation
of an Oscar nomination. I agree with Joe about the sound port.

I’ll keep you guys posted with updates as they arrive.

Looking through that port I imagined I was looking at someones really nice music room. Just needs furniture.

Here is a recent listing of a Monteleone Radio flyer with similar sound port - mine has one upper port instead of two.
Don’t gasp at price - but this is what a used high end Monteleone will cost you.

Oh the agony, knowing full well what's happening in France of all places! I hope Bryant is happy living in that quaint town. He's but a stones throw from Marseille, Nice, and Cannes! We're talking 4 hours to Monte Carlo! I applaud your tastes Steve! That's one gorgeous and unique Trenier! Congratulations!

This will be a very beautiful guitar when its finished - and I know it will be an acoustic cannon.

Here are some pics just sent to me from Bryant. He has quite a few builds happening. The Georgian faceplate is mounted and looking real nice. It’s a very unique build made just for me.....a totally “ one off” guitar
The Cuban mahogany.....inlay lines, ebony background and shaded MOP will really come to life when it’s sprayed.

It’s getting closer.
Happy Fathers Day to all !!
