Really looking forward to playing this steel. Fred is a great guy to work with and kept me updated throughout the process while he was building it. He ran out of regular nut roller, so he threw in a set of gauged rollers at no additional cost so he could get it finished and shipped out in a timely manor. I really appreciated that. I'll post again after I play my new Justice Pro Lite! Very Happy

Thanks again Fred!

I have had my ProLite for 5 years with a 705 pickup. This is fantastic instrument.

Welcome to the family! My good friend, Chuck Lettes, steered me toward a Justice Steel Guitar when I called him from the Denver airport and told him I was gonna jump back in. I have an Emmons D-10 pp but the durn thing just got too heavy for this 60+ guy to tote around. I met Fred at the TSGA show in Dallas and ordered a Black 3x5 ProLite. My experience was like yours, Fred kept me updated on the build, called when the guitar was delivered, and is a friend to this very day! You'll love the guitar, impeccable craftsmanship, tone to the bone, and customer service unmatched anywhere! Good choice......

As promised, here is a pic of me with my new Pro Lite at rehearsal last night.



It played and sounded great! I was shocked at just how much lighter it is than my Carter D-10. My old back is going to appreciate it! And the case is very different than most steels. You place the pedal board and leg pouch on a board that rests on top of the steel once it's in the case. This puts the center of gravity lower and gives the case more strength. Very cool! (Sorry for the blurry pic)

Bob I was looking through the posts of the Pro Lites tonight and stumbled on yours...she's a beauty! The reason for my looking is I recently purchased a Pro Lite which will be here tomorrow and I feel like I'm 10 and it's Christmas eve again!!! Already I have discovered Fred is the type of man I want to deal with as long as possible. He graciously welcomed me to the Justice family and has taken the time to answer me and even told me to give him a call if I decide to make any changes to the copedent, and he will walk me thought it since I'm a rookie.. I csnt wait. I've not found 1 negative comment on any of Fred guitars and they are all veautiful. The color you chose is no exeption!!! Just georgeous Bob!

Thanks Jim. Fred is a great gentleman. He called me about a month after I received my Pro Lite to check up on me and see if I had any questions. I went from a D-10 Carter to the Pro Lite and was astonished at how much lighter it was than the Carter. I also went from a Fender Steel King to a Quilter Steelaire. My sound is great and my old back is much happier! Enjoy your new Pro Lite!!! Very Happy
