Steeldeville ®

The SteelDeville 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. The 24.5” scale length and vintage components make this instrument feel like home the minute you lay your hands on it. The SteelDeville features our exclusive hollow steel body and custom metal appointments, like the recessed steel head cap that is beautiful to look at and functional, by adding mass to the headstock it increases sustain. The steel body while also being the perfect medium to display the beautiful Trussart custom finishes and engravings also has tonal advantages. The Trussart SteelDeville tone is a uniquely classic, thick and resonant tone combined with an edge that cuts through. The construction of these instruments is only half of the story, the other half is the finish, every instrument comes with a history and a slight element of neglect, of decay, so it has a personality of it’s own.

The SteelDeville has found it’s way into the hands of many guitarists including Rich Robinson, Billy Corgan, Zakk Wylde, Richard Fortus, to name just a few.

OPTIONS

• Colors & Finishes •

James is famous for the intricate patinas and distressed finishes he has developed over years of research; each finish is unique to that instrument making it easily identifiable by its owner.  Rust O Matic finishes, so named by Billy Gibbons, feature swirling textured patterns of rust which are created using a proprietary technique that uses real alligator skins making a gator skin pattern in the rust. Shiny and satin nickel as well as shiny gold finishes are also available if your taste run towards the spectacular.

• Perforations •

Perforated metal front and back faces are available on these instruments.
Perforation lightens the weight of the instrument by 0.5 pound per perforated face, the perforation also increases the feedback resistance of the instrument while non perforated instruments have more resonance that some musicians prefer. Non perforated instruments have resonant qualities similar to hollow body guitars that many musicians appreciate, if you enjoy the resonance of hollow body guitars a non perforated Trussart is the instrument for you.
The Steeldeville has four perforations options, no perforation, Perforated back, perforated Front that can be combined.
Non perforated Steeldeville average 8.6 pounds, instruments with one face perforated average 8.1 pounds and all perforated about 8.1 pounds.
