The James Trussart Deluxe Steelcaster looks incredible both on and off the stage.  In addition to its amazing looks, this relic guitar sounds amazing, too.  As with all Trussart instruments, it comes loaded with custom features.  It looks like a well-preserved vintage guitar, but it has some of the most modern parts around, including metal appointments and an exclusive hollow steel body.  The tone of this guitar is annunciated through the steel, giving it a very interesting sound.  It resonates within the hollow steel body, allowing you to get everything from incredibly clear tones to powerful lead tones.

The guitar features a bolt-on neck that is done in either a Fat ’52 or a ’62 style.  The fingerboard comes in three options: maple, rosewood, or ebony.  It has a nine inch radius and features narrow-tall #6105 frets.  For the pickups, the instrument comes with Trussart/Arcane single coils standard, but you have the option of using Seymour Duncan or TV Jones pickups.

As far as finishes goes, James Trussart is known for his many patinas and distresses finishes.  Each one is unique to the various instrument that it is used on.  A number of engravings is also an option.  The James Trussart Deluxe Steelcaster is used by a number of top players, including Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan, Robert Cray, Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry, Marc Ribot, and Tom Morello.
