Steeltops


I like to keep all people reading this blog posted on 'new' things in the world of guitars... if it is not Versoul guitars in Finland (more on that later), or Linhof Guitars (as previously mentioned).. it must well and truly be James Trussart's Steeltops.  Just look at this beauty... this guitar takes a little bit of Resonator styling and adds some humbucker pickups, this... together with a lot of engineering and design input from James Trussart, means a brand new blip on the new guitar horizon.  Up until now, James was mainly building his line of 'Steelcaster' guitars.  Recently though, he has come up with this little beauty... the 'Steeltop'... and well-known artists (like Rich Robinson, of the Black Crowes) have not been slow to recognize this... so why should you?  Check it out... also check out their entire site...for roughly what you would pay for either a nice Fender Tele, or a New USA Made Les Paul, you can also have one of these...I have one, and one on the way...
