Je comprends aussi le Français, mais je ne comprends pas vos commentaires, ou pourquoi vous écrivez en Français.
C'est une très belle guitare, mais c'est un corps en bois, plutôt qu'en acier. Ce sont des guitares fantastiques.

Hughes, both of the two metal polychrome triolians look to be in V-good condition. What they sound like is another matter, there are no guarantees other than ask more questions, are they dealers  Can they face time and give you a visual tour and maybe a live soundscape so you know how they sound. See if there is any movement on the price, but be aware they do not occupy every guitar shop so price also reflects the availability,Rarity, condition etc. They are out there, it is more a question of when you are ready to buy/commit.

Hi Hugues
The first Triolian, the 1931 model, looks really good. It is a clean guitar and is in very good condition.
It is not cheap, but the seller knows what he has got and the price is right. I think in USD, the price is $4100. In Euros it is €3500.
If I were looking for a Triolian today, I would consider making this guy an offer. See if you can get the price down a bit.
I hope that is helpful.
Shine On
Michael

Thanks Michael,
It IS very helpful!
Actually, both are 1930. The "1931" has 1XXP serial (seller doesn't want to disclaim the exact number as the guitar is a consignement, he stated 1XXB, but I suppose he confused the letters) and the "1932" has the 208P serial number. According to the seller, the 208P "has a little dip in the neck", so the other one would be a better buy I think.
I asked the seller a few more questions about the condition of the neck, and if the answers are good news, I'll make him an offer.
Many thanks
Hugues

I just noticed in Mark Makin's book that there were B series triolian in 1933 (Brown duco). I will ask the seller to double check the serial as if it is indeed a B, that would mean that the neck is not original to the guitar and/or the neck (and possibly the guitar) has been refinished. Am I correct?

Hi Hugues,
You need to see a photo of the actual serial number. I don't agree with people holding back the number. People are always making mistakes when reading these numbers.
I will ask Mark to drop in on this thread, but it may not be until later. Keep the seller talking while we gather the information we need.
Shine On

Hi Michael,
So many thanks for your help! And many thanks to the other posters as well! This is probably the most useful forum I've ever been on.
I will keep in touch with them and try as well to have more informations.

Yes, I've seen it too. I have a thing for polychromes, but I keep an eye on that one also.

Interestingly, the 2148W is reported in the book as a tenor, refinished in green. Did they make dual serial numbers for different instrument types?

Hi Pickers Ditch, I didn't doubt that. Just wondered if there are two guitars bearing the same 2148w number, one 6 strings listed on Reverb and the other Tenor, recorded in Mark Makin's book. Your triolian looks sweet  |

Can they face time and give you a visual tour and maybe a live soundscape so you know how they sound.
