Starter Steel Under $1000?

[Dave Mudgett]

A new Stage one is $1275 with 3 pedals, 4 levers and hard case - https://www.stageonesteelguitars.com/guitars

But new orders are closed until Fall 2022 - https://www.stageonesteelguitars.com/

A Justice Jr. is $995 for 2 pedals, 1 knee, and a hard case - add $150 for each additional pedal or lever - http://www.justicesteelguitars.com/S10%20Jr.html

They're both good choices.

An old adage about buying things:

Quality, price, get it fast - pick no more than 2.
