Visit the website of master luthier James Trussart, who is making some of the best guitars on the market today, breaking the mold by building kick-ass instruments out of various metals that capture the vintage look and sound we all crave.
To see some amazing guitars, check out McSwain Guitars. Tired of seeing the same old guitars and designs? Artist, luthier & musician Stephen McSwain decided to create a new breed he likes to call "functional art." Each instrument is hand made, one at a time, and has unique characteristics that make it a highly collectible guitar or piece of art, depending on how you look at it. A true creative, McSwain's enthusiasm and passion for his craft is nothing short of infectious. As he befriends his clients he manages to include something of them and himself directly into every guitar - having them become more than just a guitar. You can contact us if you want to know more or check out his website at: http://www.mcswainguitars.com
