The Man Who Made Rust Beautiful | James Trussart

Every guitar James Trussart builds carries far more than steel, wood, and craftsmanship. It carries the influences of a life lived across France, Louisiana, and Los Angeles, a fascination with history, and an unwavering belief that every instrument should contribute something new to the ongoing conversation of the guitar.

We talk about freedom, creativity, memory, music, travel, craftsmanship, and the responsibility of preserving stories before they’re lost.

Along the way, James reflects on meeting legends like B.B. King, Billy Gibbons, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Depp, the Louisiana culture that shaped his work, and why he still believes the next idea is always worth chasing.

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with James Trussart. I hope you will as well.
