I would buy what I wanted. If I was younger again I would stay with the Sierra, but now that I am old and gray, I love my 2 Justice psg's.

If I were just starting out again, I would go with a 12 string steel. I own a D10 and a Universal now, but I really wish that I had started with the 12 string. Read this: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtop ... ight=cover and this: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=341331
If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool. It's just that the person trusted you far more than you deserved.

Been a Mullen guy for a long time, first with a very early S110 3X3, later a RP U-12.Still have both, plus a couple of D-10s that don't get out much. If I had an extra $5K I'd add a new G2 U-12 to the harem.
