The James Trussart Steelmaster, like many of the James Trussart guitars, has that unique steel look and feel while using many of the most modern construction techniques. The Steelmaster also features the recessed steel top plate, something unique to Trussart instruments. This plate can be found in a recessed section of the face of the guitar. The edges of the plate are covered, which makes it feel more comfortable as well as adding to its unique look.

Another exclusive to James Trussart is the chambered wood body and metal appointments. These help add mass to the headstock and increase the Steelmaster’s sustain. The steel used in the guitar has several different tonal advantages, helping create a classic sound that ranges from thick clean tones to heavy overdriven ones. In addition to affecting the sound, the steel also makes the Steelmaster look amazing. The distressed finish that makes it look like the guitar both vintage and totally unique.

The James Trussart Steelmaster features a chambered pine or alder body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood, maple, or ebony fingerboard. It has a ten inch radius and uses medium jumbo 6105 frets. The guitar has volume, tone, and a three-way switch, and it uses either Arcane Inc JazzMaster pickups or Jazz-90 pickups. The unique finishes offered include Rusty, which features swirling textured patterns, and a shiny gold finish. Engravings are also available.

James Trussart SteelX

anthony — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:42:41 +0000

The James Trussart SteelX relic guitar, like all of the guitars made by Trussart, is of excellent quality and sound. The SteelX has a very unique sound to it. It’s different from the other Trussart guitars, and it sounds different from just about anything else out there, too. There are several different reasons for this, but the main reason is in how the guitar is constructed. It uses a perforated top, features a Korina set neck, and has a Tune O Matic bridge. The SteelX also uses Arcane Inc. humbuckers and is done in a steel finish that looks incredible. It’s also put through a relic process so that it doesn’t look like it just rolled off the assembly line.

Another very interesting and different thing about the SteelX is the guitar’s body shape. It’s almost shaped like an X, giving the body of the guitar a great visual appeal. This guitar looks great when you’re playing heavy metal or other rock. It’s certainly not going to be mistaken for any other type of guitar! Of course, the cost of the SteelX has been noted as being a bit pricy. However, don’t let that stop you. The James Trussart SteelX is worth the cost.

It’s also built using a very unique design that really captures the metallic tones of the resonator guitar. However, it plays and feels like an electric. This sound comes from the way the guitar is built. It is based around a metal “candy box” that’s connected to a transducer pickup. The guitar also features two other magnetic pickups, and the sounds from all of them can be blended together to create sounds no other guitar is capable of.

It has a rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo #6130 frets. The Steelphonic features a custom hard tail style bridge and custom B-Band pickups and preamp.
