Look at my new Justice Steel

Post by Arlene Seydel »

Just have to share with everyone- a picture of my beautiful new pedal steel made by Fred Justice. Wow- what a guitar, I am so impressed with the workmanship and ease of playing; it is unbelievable. Fred is correct, he's not just another pretty face; he has a real talent not only in his playing but in building guitars. I've had 4 other steels by different builders and this is by far the best! Haven't downloaded a picture before on here- so if this doesn't work- I'll call Fred to post one.

Here ya go Arlene, and thank you again.
What Arlene didn't tell you is, her New Justice Guitar is custom built just for her with 2" under standard height and all the pedals and knee levers were moved in for her comfort in playing, as Arlene is only 5' 3" tall.
Enjoy your new baby Arlene

Nice color choice, Arlene! That's hands down, the coolest mica finish I've ever seen. Fred's guitars sound so sweet, too. :mrgreen: One of these days...

I'm sure it's a nice guitar, but sometimes I really wish I were color blind... :whoa:

Arlene, that is a nice guitar and I'm glad that I'm not color blind. This old world would look kinda bland without color! Ray

Beautiful guitar, Arlene.

Chris and Per. She doesn't need a lava lamp nor sunglasses, nor to be color blind.

She needs a lot of support !

Moving those pedals and knee lever in will allow you to motor !!!javascript:emoticon(':)')

Hey Joe- I probably would have had to order one from you if my seat wasn't black. I think I remember you hauling it back from Texas for me a few moons ago.
Enjoying the comments about the guitar- not too sure about getting a Lava lamp however; and the acid, like in battery?! Just came from Fred's; had him do a minor adjustment to the guitar after finding my knee caps are too short to the floor- so Fred put new levers that are an inch and a half longer. Boy- I am in business now- absolutely love this guitar!

Congrats on a beautiful guitar Arlene. I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come. That just may be the one I saw Fred building when my wife and I popped in on him a few weeks ago.

Can't wait to get to Mesa.....

Slight play on words there- sure glad it's not illegal- have had the guitar a few weeks now and the more I play it the more I love it. Words cannot do it "Justice".
