    2006 James Trussart SteelCaster (Telecaster) electric guitar. This particular example, serial number 06 087, is in mint all original condition showing no signs of wear anywhere on the guitar including the frets and back of the neck. This example is rare to see with a maple neck, so take advantage of this guitar while it’s still available.

    Equally at home being played on stage or on display as a piece of art, you will know you have something special the moment you lay your hands on this instrument, every Trussart is loaded with unique custom details.

    The SteelCaster has the look and feel of a vintage instrument with while also featuring the exclusive hollow steel body and custom metal appointments. The steel while also being the perfect medium to display the beautiful Trussart custom finishes also has tonal advantages.

    The Trussart SteelCaster tone is a uniquely annunciated sound that, combined with the resonant qualities of the hollow steel body can range from sweet, crystal clear tones to aggressive screaming lead tones. The construction of these instruments is only half of the story, the other half is the finish, every instrument comes with a history and a slight element of neglect, of decay, so it has a personality of it’s own. This example features the rusty finish which displays swirling textured patterns of rust and “Rust O Matic” finishes named by Billy Gibbons, which are created using a proprietary technique that uses real alligator skins making a gator skin pattern in the rust.

    Trussart guitars have found their way into the hands of many guitarists including Billy Gibbons, Robert Cray, Tom Morello (Rage against the Machine, Audioslave), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Pearl Jam, Marc Ribot, Metallica and Joe Perry, to name only a few.
