Boomerang~Junkie Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 2017 Trussart SteelResoGator – Electric Yep, this is one badass James Trussart steel resonator guitar. The gator print is acid etched into the steel. The patina on the metal parts is aged into a rusty delta bluesy goodness. This guitar will make you grin every time you open the case or pick it up. James calls this model the SteelResoGator Electric or sometimes just a SteelReso. Very loud acoustically. Check out the videos on YouTube, where you can see that these are monster slide guitars. I think the electric SteelReso’s retailed new around $5200 back in 2017 and the street price on them then was around $4500 with the Arcane pickup option added. I bought this one brand new and it remains “like new” with its hard shell case. They retail for around $5800 now with the electric pickup option. Warning for the faint of heart – these are heavy as a dead preacher – coming in just under 10 pounds. Model Specs: Features a unique 2 pickup configuration. 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 splitter. It doesn't take long to realize the enormous amount of versatility this combination is capable of. Features a new Arcane Inc. magnetic pickup which, through trial and error, James Trussart has determined sounds best with this model. With separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can run 2 completely discreet amplifiers at the same time. One amp could set one up for distortion or used with guitar effects boxes, one for clean tones. With this configuration you can switch back and forth, or blend them to create entirely new sounds with endless possibilities!
