Hi folks, I just finished this little beauty about an hour ago.
Its kinda unique in the since it has real wood inlay instead of the polished metal trim.
This is the 3rd guitar I've done this way and it is just stunning.
The mica is Red Breeze, its a Pro Lite 4x5
The owner of this baby works a lot of hours but will post on here when he gets the time.
Congratulation Michael.

| To me the inlay really makes a great looking guitar. That's one of the things I love about my Super Pro. |

I've never seen anything that comes out of your shop that isn't stunning Fred. And they play as beautifully as they look. Great work Fred!!

Posted 10 Jun 2018 8:02 am Thank you Fred for creating the guitar of my dreams.
|
|
Last October I made an internet search for steel guitar and with the greatest luck there was David Hartley in a YouTube video saying " I just received my new Justice guitar safe and sound here in the UK" and was about to give a demonstration. What I heard made me turn my head to my wife and say, "I know what I want for my 60th birthday". I live in Tucson so the close proximity to Fred in Mesa, Az was perfect, I could actually visit his shop as he made it. I did another internet search on his reputation or for any bad comments on his guitars and found absolutely nothing. You can search endlessly and find nothing but praise when it comes to Fred Justice, nothing.
So, in October 2017, I called Fred and ordered my ProLite. He had twelve guitars ahead of me so the due date was realistically at the end of May 2018. However, that actually worked in my favor because I needed time to sell things and generate the funds to buy this new "toy". My wife calls it the "Toys for Toys" program and it works really well when you tell your wife how much something really cost. This guitar has been a dream come true and working together with Fred has been the best experience. When I visited his shop he showed me a laminate which looked like leather and together with the diamond wood inlay we came up with a truly unique combination.
Thank you Fred for creating this beautiful work of art, you are a master builder and a true friend.

Fred,
What a beauty! Must be very rewarding to build such
a work of art, that is soooo unique!
BTW, was that Dave Hartley's second JUSTICE? I recall his first a couple years ago.

Ha Ha, Danny, Brenda's cabinet work consist of opening the cabinet door to put the clean dishes away.

The only thing I've ever seen come out of Fred's shop that wasn't stunning was Fred himself.  And that ain't very often.

How do you "thank a man", and tell him "Bit Me", all in one sentence?
Morning Ron.

Michael came and picked it up, and left with it about 10 minutes ago.
He was one happy man going out the door.
I got a slight case of "daddy's baby leaving home Syndrome"

Very nice Fred. The Pro Lite you built for me is really getting a work out and sounds great! I'm sure this one will too!

Bob, I know you give it a work out, you play out just about every weekend.
The more you play that Pro Lite the better it sounds.

Yes, Fred. 3 nights a week in March, almost every Fri & Sat in April and May, and EVERY Fri & Sat night in June through Labor day! The bad news is that it's an outside gig in a club on the gulf of Mexico...salt air, sand, and heat & high humidity. Some nights, I get condensation dripping from above me onto the fret board of my guitar! I'm going to have to send it you or Mickey Adams to take it apart, clean it, and put it back together when these gigs are over!
