Beautiful! So much excitement in waiting and tracking the shipment from Point A to Point B to Point C to "package out for delivery"!
Lee, from South Texas - Down On The Rio Grande

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

You should be thrilled. This is a very well made instrument. I have ShoBud, Fender and EXCEL steels but ordered a S10 Jr. with just 2+1 to experiment with a VERY basic setup. I love it! Ron and Fred were great to deal with and their build time was very fast. I put on a 2nd knee lever and may add more changes after a while.

Ron made extra space for a second or even third pickup as I asked.

I received mine 7th of July really enjoying it. Right now all I'm getting to play is at the cowboy church I'm in. We wear masks and have plenty of room for distantcing. Using a Katana 100 combo. Enjoy Wes

Thanks, Wes. Did Ron build yours? He's been great to deal with in getting mine built.

Yes Ron built mine and was 3 weeks early with it. I've known Fred for several years. Year ago in Oct. Fred brought one to the KSGA show in Baxter Springs Ks. so I got to set down to one then. I had a SD10 BMI with 3 & 5' It was a very good steel my 3rd BMI but I am 84 and have some medical issues couldn't handle the weight. The price on the Justice fit my budget' I really wanted a Pro Lite but couldn't afford it. I'm totally satisfied with the Jr and my wife likes the weight. Getting old is soo much fun ha ha. Wes
