Members Bbreaker Posted December 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks all. I demoed the Steelcaster with the clean channel on a Fender Hot Rod 4x10 at GC. Put it through it's paces. Played a few non annoying tunes (no Rectum Fryer volumes)...........some guy came along side me and sang along with me on "People Get Ready". It was a good vibe. I've yet to use any OD or dirty amp setting with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larry50 Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Trussart makes great necks. I played a Steelcaster once, and it was by a large margin the nicest neck I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only played it through clean amp settings. I'm going to put it through some channel switching amps and my OCD; Crunch Box and Golden Cello pedals this week. Supposedly the hollie back eliminates feedback at high volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 HNGD BB, that's one sweet looking guitar! I'd love to play a Trussart or Fano one of these days soon, but my checking account probably wouldn't appreciate it. Enjoy the new fiddle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to play a Trussart or Fano one of these days soon, but my checking account probably wouldn't appreciate it. Enjoy the new fiddle! Thank you.I'm interested in the Fano model with the Tele type bridge and P 90 neck p/u.GC's used website had 2 Fano with dual P 90's for $1699.99............I was interested but waited too long. They're both gone.GC's used website has better prices than CL and most vintage/boutique dealers.The only way I could acquire my Trussart was using GC's 18 month financing special. They don't honor used items in this special BUT if you bundle something with a qualifying item, you can get an 18 month deal.............BTW, a participating companies set of strings can be the qualifying item.I got a Fender lunch pail (qualifying item) at $19.99 and bundled the Trussart with it.GC wasn't thrilled but there's no fine print to say otherwise.

Some Fano-porn so you can ponder your next purchase. http://store.mesahollywood.com/fano.html I've actually played a couple of those guitars (including the Alt de facto MG6, my favorite). Incredible guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
