The JUSTICE steel guitar

Post by Ron Hogan »

With the passing of Fred, let's not forget that the JUSTICE guitars are still being built by Ron Anderson.

When I would speak with Fred, he always spoke highly of Ron. They made a believer out of me and one of my 4 guitars is a JUSICE Judge.

Played on the JUSTICE:

Well said Ron. I'm not sure when mine was built due to 2nd hand purchase, but it's not very old and plays like butter. Fred called me and we had a nice conversation prior to my buying it January 2021.

Ron A built my S-10 and he was great to work with. It’s a solid machine and plays great, plus he did a few custom things for me with no problems.

I just received my first ever PSG from Justice last week, and while I have no frame of reference, I can’t imagine that the ordering process nor the quality of the instrument itself for the price could be any better. From order to completion was something like one month, much quicker than I had expected. RIP to Fred, I never had the pleasure of talking to him but I imagine my instrument was one of the last that he had seen get started. Ron was great with helping me through the process, I can’t recommend him enough.

Tone!

Ron, you are so very right. That tone on that clip you posted is stellar.

Is this tune tabbed anywhere? I'd love to learn it if it is

Pro Lite ordered!

Post by Bruce Blackburn »

Ron,
Thanks for your input on the Justice Guitar. Because of your input I have placed an order with Ron Anderson for a new Pro Lite guitar. I am looking forward to seeing and playing the final product!
Ron Anderson was so polite to take time to talk to me about the guitar he builds and what goes into making this an exceptional instrument.
Soon you can come over and sit behind it too!
