My New Justice Steel Guitar
I recently sold my D10 steel and purchased an S10 JUSTICE steel. I love the pedal & knee action and the tone is outstanding all the way up and down the neck.Fred Justice builds them in Mesa AZ. There is something special about the playability that only can be explained by playing the Justice. Fred and his wife Brenda take great pride in each guitar.Check it out at Fred Justice Music.com

I got my justice steel in march of 09 at the the TX. steel show & I love it.it has really enhanced my playing. folks this justice steel not only sounds great , it plays great. the levers & pedals are so smooth that you can play barefoot on it.
BTW, I will be at the phoenix show to help Fred work his booth. He has some really cool new steels to show off this year. stop and play one, you'll love it.

Wes thank you for posting pictures of your new Justice Steel Guitar here on the forum.
And thanks to each of you that commented on our guitars. I'll be starting a D-10 line real soon so stay tuned for the development.
We had great response at the Phoenix show this year and hope to do even better at the up coming Dallas TX. show.
Thanks again everyone.

I'm sorry I didn't take a pic of one of the most gorgeous steels I've ever seen, it was a mica Justice at last weekend's Phoenix show, but the color had milky waves all through it, like looking at a cresting wave on the beach in Hawaii. I wanted the guitar just on looks alone!
Fred, if you still have that steel, please post pics, it's to die for.

I'll chime in by saying that the guitars FJ had on display at the SWSGA show sported some of the nicest mica combinations I'd seen in a long time, as well as the beautiful guitar John and Fred commented about above.
And Fred makes a fine steel case, as well. I have two 2-pc. sets, one for an Emmons and one for a Sho-Bud.
Fred, we've discussed this before, but I think that if you built a 12-string guitar, it should be called "The Jury." (as in "12", right
), and the D-10, of course, is "The Executioner."
That way you'd have a full line: Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
How about it, Forum? Whadday'all think?

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Herb, not bad idea's at all.
But my over all plans are as follows,
"The Judge" is my pro model, be it SD-10 or D-10
If at some point in time I build an entry level guitar it will be "The Prosecutor"
I have no long range plans to build a 12 string guitar.
Boys I sure do thank you all for your in put.

David your spot on it buddy.
I thought Doug was going to melt the strings on Jerry's little black baby. he hasn't wiped the string down to this date in fear he'll wipe off all them hot licks.
Ken thanks for posting, glad your enjoying your new rack case.
