From time to time, I try to imagine what it must be like to design a guitar. Not just for myself, but a guitar that other players would enjoy as well. It doesn't take long for one specific thought to descend upon my imaginary blueprints: we guitar players are a fickle bunch! We like guitars that feel comfortable and familiar. We like to know how to use the controls without needing to think about it. We like guitars that remind us of what our heroes used to play. But we also want something new. Something unique that will distinguish itself from our friend's guitars. Something unlike anything anyone has seen before. 

   With all of this in mind, I turn and look at this Trussart Deluxe SteelCaster with an even greater sense of admiration. Trussart has done it! This guitar has a bold and unique look: no doubt about it. But when I pick it up and start playing, I feel right at home. At it's core, the SteelCaster feels and plays like any great telecaster: it's the ultimate workhorse guitar.
