Ok; a small but important part of the current batch from Trenier made its way to me this weekend.

Looking for an acoustic archtop for chord-melody playing last year, I contacted Chuck / ThatRhythmMan. He sold a couple of electric Gibson’s I had and talked to me about the Trenier Broadway 50th Commemorative archtop (2008). He thought it would be a great fit for acoustic work, even though it did have a floating pickup on the finger rest. And boy was he right. Just a tremendous guitar. I always clean / inspect / set up a new guitar, so when I removed the finger rest I saw the pickup was a Lollar Johnny Smith. It was dated 2011, so obviously not original. It looked professionally installed, but there was also a second footprint carved into the back of the finger rest for a pickup with a much larger mounting tab. Wanting to get it back to original condition, I emailed Bryant Trenier and asked if he had any idea what was originally installed. I was very pleased when he replied that the guitar was originally built as an acoustic archtop with no pickup. No wonder it sounded so great!

Anyway, Mr. Trenier graciously agreed to make for me another finger rest which would not have any pickup or volume control mounting holes or cut away binding. He contacted me earlier this year to say he would make my finger rest when he built the ebony parts for his current batch of guitars. The package from France arrived yesterday and I installed it today.

I wanted to thank Chuck for hooking me up with this tremendous guitar and say thank you to Bryant Trenier for being a pleasure to work with and providing me with, not only the original guitar, but the final piece to make it complete.

I thought I read somewhere it's part of a new Euro-based process called:

" Derailleur Harmonic Alignment Tuning ".........

You need this racing developed tool, calibrated , etc etc - -

Of course it's an expensive tool, but you know, it's racing calibrated, harmonic tested etc etc.....
