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?
-
Mark M,
A Continental would be a great choice for sure. I had a blonde one for a few weeks and it was magical.
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.
-
Not seeing anything new there yet - but I'm confident it'll play lotsa notes very fast

Bryant’s current batch headed for the spray booth.

For those Trenier enthusiasts. Bryant just posted some audio of two completed instruments from the current batch.
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.

Hi Dennis,
I don’t think any of these are Jazz Specials- and that’s why we are not seeing the Humbucker cutout. He has added Humbucker’s to solid tops too - but it’s rare.
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
Dennis

Bryant is more of a custom builder , whereas Mark Campellone is tooled and fixtures to build basically the same guitar with remarkable precision and predictable lead times.
Overall - Bryant makes around 10 -12 guitars / year - sometimes a few more , but not with the predictable lead times as Mark. Bryant’s guitars are built mainly by hand - with little to no fixtures, just like Jimmy D’Aquisto.
Both builders have completely different approaches to guitar construction - and
both have many satisfied customers.
