I've had this piece since 2017. It's only been played casually in a smoke free home, never gigged, and cased when not in use. Comes with the original paperwork as well as the signed certificate of authenticity.
The two pickup configuration (volume control for each) gives so much versatility and can be clean, dirty or any combination of the two. It's a complete steel construction with the legendary titanic rust finish over gator skin engraving. The rusting process he uses for these is truly unique and sets them far apart from other guitars.
Below is the original description of the guitar: 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 breakout cable so you can use both pickups into different amps. It doesn't take long to realize the enormous amount of versatility this combination is capable of. Features a new Lace magnetic pickup which, through trial and error, James Trussart has determined sounds great 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!
