I really wasn’t in the market for another guitar and then this fella came up. A fairly early James Trussart Holey Steelcaster from 2003.
I missed out on one about eight years ago, didn’t move quickly enough and always kinda regretted it. I’ve always preferred the original Steelcasters. I don’t think the treatment works as well on Les Pauls (aka the SteelPaul), nor am I so keen on the way Trussarts have gone more recently, with fancy finishes/engraving and latterly distressed paintjobs.
They usually have great necks and this one certainly does. Brilliant player and what a look. Better pix coming soon…
