Tucker Guitars - Lightweight guitars from Hawaii

hans-j?rgen · May 12, 2006

While I was editing my ODP category I stumbled over this interesting electric guitar maker from Hawaii whose web site is back online now:

http://www.tuckerguitars.com/

"Patented hand-crafted guitars and basses from exotic Albizzia tone-wood" is the ODP description, and it seems that these guitars only weigh about 4.5lbs because of that special wood. So it might be a solution for people with injured back problems...

Another weird guitar maker is this one (completely made from steel):

I met James at Frankfurt Int. Musik Messe in April.
His guitars are not made completely from steel.
The guitars features only a rusty finish.

The descriptions list them as hollow bodies made from steel plates while the necks are made from wood.

In last months UK Guitarist Magazine there was an interview with James Trussart all about his steel guitars
