For those Trenier enthusiasts. I just received some pics of what Bryant is currently working on - which includes a “custom special “ with phases of the moon inlays. This particular guitar will be black with a blonde soundboard. There is also a Continental ,an
updated Calore model and a new Pasquale Grasso design.
I’ll update with more pics as they arrive - but here is what I have for now.

Beautiful. I’d love to have a Continental someday. Bryant is amazing.
-
legit love the moonphase inlay.
-
If that's a mineral streak on the top I'm assuming this will be a sunburst finish?

Bryant will be making a new custom build in the next batch. He will be sharing those ideas with me shortly - and I will start a post on that build.

I was thinking I liked the mineral streaks; they add character and authenticity. But then I like bear claw spruce, too.

Here is the link:
Bryant Trenier on Instagram: "I like doing these “1st day vids” - my rule is to record 30 seconds of sound within 10 minutes of first stringing up an instrument. I’ll go back and compare with later recordings to document the opening up of the instruments during their first weeks of life. Today we have the latest #continental and a #custom guitar done in black and white. I’ll post some pics once the guitars are completed.

Hello QAman! That continental is mine. Can't wait to get my hands on it this week. When Bryant asked what color I wanted I asked him to copy the finish he did on your custom Trenier. I'll keep you all posted once it arrives later this week and I get some practice on it, if interested.

And I see a cutaway w/ a port. Does BT offer a port with all his models ?
Thanks.

As for the side port - Bryant will add it when requested. The port makes a huge difference for the player and I highly recommend it.

Also, Steve - -
( curiosity again )
Is that batch like Mark C's, a quarterly output ?
Thx

Both builders have completely different approaches to guitar construction - and
both have many satisfied customers.
