Player's Perspective

James Trussart has been building instruments made out of metal since the 70's and at this point his artist roster is a veritable who's who of the rock world. It's pretty impressive how many guitarists (and bassists like Geezer Butler) have sought out Mr. Trussart to get a unique but thoroughly badass instrument.
 
We're calling this one the "Captain America" guitar. Freedom has never sounded so good!
 
Snappy attack from the metal body with warmth from the wooden neck really give this a unique take on a classic design. The awesome construction and build quality of it allows for effortless playing. The Arcane pickups are harmonically rich and sound very refined. The neck pickup is warm, round, and creamy while having some really nice attack and articulation to it. The single-coil pickup in the bridge is bright and hot enough to handle some distortion whlie still being a vintage-inspired sound.

Manufacturer's Description

The SteelCaster has the look and feel of a vintage instrument with while also featuring our 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 Trussart has found it's 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.
