Justice Steel Guitars/Michael Cobb, Pro Lite

Fred Justice · Post by **Fred Justice** » 6 Jun 2017 11:27 am

Mike just gave me permission to post some pictures of his new Pro Lite.
Mike chose the Blue Diamond Pearl with a split front of White Diamond Pearl, WOW, what a combination of colors.
This guitar is a stock Emmons set up with 3x4, and it sings like a bird, "tone to the bone"

Fred, question:

Did the front apron design come from Rittenberry or did Rittenberry get that from you? Just curious where it started

Fred Justice · Post by **Fred Justice** » 8 Jun 2017 9:57 am

Mike I first seen that diagonal design many years ago on a Bethel guitar, only running the opposite direction.
I liked it and started using it. (the other direction)

I then built a few cabinets for Gary using that same design,they were both black & white cabinets, and we jokingly called them "Skunky one and Skunky two".
Thus Gary built some cabinets with that same design.

Its sorta become a recognizable look for a Justice guitar since I've built many with that front apron design.
Mike I hope this helps to satisfy your curiosity.

Thanks Fred! I always wondered where this was first used and now I know

My 3/5 pro lite arrived a month ago, can't describe how much I enjoy learning PSG on Fred's beautiful guitar.

Michael has his guitar now and should be chiming in here real soon.
