New Justice Pro Lite

Post by Mike Ritchie »

Just got word that my new Justice Pro Lite shipped today and is expected in Florida on Friday! I can't wait to open up my belated Christmas gift and if it looks half as good in person as it does in the build pictures I'm in for a real treat :D

Thanks Ron, right on time!

Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

My Pro Lite showed up this morning and she is a real looker!
Thanks to Ron (and Fred), looking forward to putting some miles on her starting this evening.

Great choice Mike ! I will bet that was awful hard waiting the last 2 days before delivery ! Most or all of the top guitarists obtain one or several new instruments during their lives, so you are starting down a good road ! Gorgeous looking color combo.

You couldn't have made a better choice Mike. I am on my 2nd Justice now, the twin to yours. Got mine in 2015. As far as I'm concerned there are none better. Enjoy the ride!! By the way, I am Wes's friend in Nebraska. Hope we can get together again in Baxter Springs.

Thanks all, I have been struggling a bit over the last year trying to learn the steel. Started just a while back on an old Marlen pull-release and while I really like it, I am hoping this one is a bit easier to play. I probably should have started this about 30 years ago.

I've seen people on this forum starting out on PSG in their 20's, some in their 80's. It's never too late to start learning this amazing instrument ;-)
