James Trussart SteelPhonic 2014 Brushed Nickel


From James Trussart's website: "The SteelPhonic is a classic single cutaway design with a hollow steel body and a wood neck that is both beautiful to look at and to play. Designed to capture the ringing, metallic tones of classic resonator guitars while having the feel and playability of an electric, the SteelPhonic's sound is built around a metal 'candy box' attached to a transducer pickup. This unique flavor can be blended with the sound of the guitar's two magnetic pickups, creating an array of pleasing sounds no other guitar can produce. A true stereo instrument."

Hollow steel body with silver snakeskin engraving, recessed steel head cap, bolt-on grey stained maple neck with ebony fingerboard, Arcane Inc. hand wound mini-humbuckers, and internal acoustic contact pickup and preamp.

Purchased new in 2014, and lightly played since. Includes the James Trussart signed Certificate of Authenticity, Y cord splitter, and original (and unblemished) hard case.

[Guitar Heel]

Not the Trussart I'm looking for.

And I've never seen a steel alligator.

Like the guitar isn't enough to prove authenticity?

You're hanging out in the wrong swamp...

[bsman]

That falls squarely into the "shouldn't like it but I do" category.

 

[Jbird]

The wood floor is nice...

 

[335clone]

Would!

 

[CBHScott]

This may be the first Trusssart I actively like.

 

[wok]

Not really my thing, but I kind of like it

 

[frunobulax]

No. Definitely no.

 

[jp_nyc]

That snakeskin top looks like it belongs on the shoes of a pimp with bad taste.

 

[Tralfaz]

Not my thing, but at least it's not a rusty tetanus farm like so many of the Trussarts I've seen.

 

[Grant Harding]

I like it.

 

[Modern Saint]

Dig it!

 

[tiger roach]

I like it.

I wonder how well it captures the resonator tone?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Definitely would. I'm a sucker for resos.

 

[Flamencology]

I dig it.

 

[Flamencology]

I've never seen a steel alligator.
