{"product_id":"james-trussart-steelcaster-usa-2006","title":"SOLD - James Trussart Steelcaster - USA 2006","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Trussart is one of the few modern builders who has broken the mould of traditional guitar making. Working with steel as the primary material, he produces guitars that are as unique in appearance as they are in tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd the tone is so distinctive that Trussart guitars have become 'must-have' instruments in the arsenals of influential artists such as Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Jack White, Paul Simon, Charlie Sexton, Daniel Lanois, Marc Ribot, Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Rich Robinson (Black Crowes), Sonny Landreth, Joe Perry, Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, The Roots and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Trussart -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Trussart Steelcaster tone is a uniquely enunciated 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 its own.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Trussart Steelcaster is a certainly a unique spin on one of the all-time enduring classic Fender designs. This is the fourth Trussart we have listed here at PREMIER GUITARS, and we are mightily impressed. There is no doubt it has the same footprint as the Fender classic, but it has a feel and vibe entirely of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe believe the pickups are hand-wound Arcane pickups crafted in USA by Rob Timmons. The company offers vintage-style replica pickups and specialises in distressed and antiqued looks. His pickups are standard in James Trussart's steel-bodied guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese very nice pickups coupled with the hollow steel body is a fine combination of hardware that produces something a bit special - a tone that is thick and bright, but different from your standard Tele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt may have a metal body but the weight comes in just fine at 7.86lbs. The neck is maple with a tobacco red stain and light thin clear finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith a typical vintage-like width and slender but not thin depth (19.77mm at the first and 21.39mm at the 12th) the neck feels immediately comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition. It has been owned and loved, and well looked after by its current owner. There is no evidence of player wear, very little fret wear and everything works as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAny Tele player will feel comfortable with this one, but it presents almost as a piece of art, that happens to make a very musical noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll housed inside its G\u0026amp;G hard shell case in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.75mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 19.77mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 21.39mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 41.72mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 51.28mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 3.56kg \/ 7.86lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrushed Rust Nickel Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBolt-On Maple Neck with Recessed Steel Head Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTobacco Red Stain on Neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e25.5\" Scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9\" Radius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21 Frets #6105 (narrow-tall)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Saddle Vintage Ashtray Bridge With Treble Side Cutaway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKluson Deluxe Tuners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnurled Nickel Control Knobs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArcane Humbucker Neck Pickup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArcane Single-coil Bridge Pickup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOHSC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838873133375,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G72310768","price":2747.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/James_Trussart_Steelcaster_-_USA_2006.png?v=1782094826","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/james-trussart-steelcaster-usa-2006","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
