“The SteelDeville is the only guitar with more Mojo
and more sustain than a 50’s Les Paul.”
~ Danny B. Harvey (The Head Cat)
“Nobody appreciates classic guitars more than I, and
Trussart’s are true classics. They look and feel
familiar, but have a voice that is truly unique. The only
modern classics that i have found.”
~ Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses)
“A Trussart is more than a guitar, it is a piece of
art. When that is combined with a unique tone and a
comfortable feel, you begin to find a voice you didn’t
know you had. You start to find songs. ”
~ Kirk Douglas (The Roots)
“Just a note to let you know we’re thrashin’ them
blues on the FINE JAMES TRUSSART silver 6-string.
It’s funky. The tone is the thing…and this instrument
has got some tone.”
~ Billy F Gibbons (ZZ TOP)
“I’ve been playing Trussart’s for 20 years.
his guitars are constantly evolving into incredibly
versatile and even cooler looking instruments.”
~ Rich Robinson (The Black Crowes)
“I literally believe this guitar makes me play better. I
love the combination of ultra-articulate attack and full-
bodied sustain. The subtle metallic resonance—that
extra midrange peachiness—telegraphs articulation
details. I think that’s dueto: a combination of the guitar’s
innate sustain, the perfect fretwork, the way subtle
neck bends complement finger vibrato, and the gratifying
‘feedback loop’ created when the metal body hums against
your chest.”
~ Joe Gore (Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Tracy Chapman)
“With country, blues, classic rock, and alternative artists all singing the
praises of these exceptional instruments, combined with the fact that only
about 300 instruments are produced each year, the value, collectibility
and pedigree of the Trussart brand will certainly endure.”
~ The Robb Report Collection December 2007

James Trussart began crafting metal violins, dulcimers
and hurdy gurdies in France in the late 1970’s before
switching his focus to guitars. He is one of the few
builders who has broken the mold of traditional guitar
making. Settled in Los Angeles since 2000, he provides
rare and collectible handcrafted instruments.
Working with steel as his primary material, he produces
instruments that are as unique in appearance as they
are in tone.

The SteelPhonic is a steel hollow-bodied guitar designed to capture the ringing metal-
lic tones of a classic resonator guitar. It is built around a metal candy box attached to
a uniquely flavored custom transducer pickup that can be blended with the sound of the
mini-humbuckers, creating an array of pleasing original sounds in mono or stereo that
no other guitar can produce.
With separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can run two completely dis-
creet amplifiers at the same time. One Amp can be set up for distortion or used with guitar
effects pedals, the other for clean tones. With this configurarion you can switch back
and forth or blend them to create entirely new sounds with endless possibilities!

The magnetic pickup has a great clarity and definition,
and when plugged into an acoustic amp, sounds
remarkably natural with tons of output, but can
also be overdriven for loud heavy delta blues
sounds.
The Fishman pickup installed at the cone provides a
richer, warmer, acoustic sound. It comes with a
stereo cable. It doesn’t take long to realize the
enormous amount of versatility this combination is
capable of.
With separate volume and tone controls for each
pickup, you can run two completely discreet ampli-
fiers at the same time. One Amp can be set up for
distortion or used with guitar effects pedals, the
other for clean tones. With this configurarion you
can switch back and forth or blend them to create
entirely new sounds with endless possibilities!
As on all the different James Trussart custom
guitars, the recessed metal headcap provides a
noticeable sustaining power, with bell clear and
smooth harmonics vibrant volume.
