New Justice

Post by Daniel Buller »

Just received my new Justice S10 last week. It's a left handed C6 guitar. I wanted the pedal and knee lever placement to be towards the changer end, so that it is the same as on my D10.

This thing is a really nice guitar! The mechanics and pedal action feel great (better than others I've played). Also Fred has impeccable customer service, will customize the guitar to suit you instead of using generic measurements, and go the extra mile to make sure you are pleased! He builds a very nice product and is a great guy to work with!

Great, a single C6th!! Congrats!! I'm thinking along similar lines for a new (Justice)PSG. At present I'm collecting/studying a lot of other players'copedents to decide which copedent I'll use. See 6 on the floor with your guitar; would you mind sharing your copedent??

That looks pretty complete, enough to keep you busy for the rest of your life, no need for a 2nd neck!!!
I see changes that look already familiar, the reverse P3 I was thinking of puttin on the P1 position myself, and the added D on str.10 is a great idea.
Could you explain the P6 and the "RKV" B changes on the 4th and 7th.
Anyway, thanks for your help,It's been a while I sat behind the back neck of my old D10 MSA, but the C6 logic is slowly coming back.
And i wish you lot's of musical pleasures with your new Justice!!!!

Hey Karel,

My D10 has 8 and 7 so I have the same copedent as the Justice minus the RKV and P5. On the D10 my "P8" I replaced the boowah changes with the P6 changes on the Justice (raising 3 and 7 a whole tone and string 1 a half). These changes have multiple uses for me.

1.Lots of available chromaticism for single note lines on the top 3 strings.
2. String 7 adds the available scale tone given to you on the high end by using a D on top that isn't normally there on the low end.
3. It also adds more possibilities for playing countryish stuff using string bends. (standard P7 "P4" on the Justice is good for this too, but sometimes I don't want both strings 4 and 3 raising simultaneously.

The RKV (raising 4 and lowering 7) is really just standard P4 changes on a D10, which I had abandoned on my other guitar as many others have done. However although they are not crucial to me, they are still nice to have (so thats why I put them back in on my vertical). I find that lowering 7 to "B" instead raising 8 is more useful to me, especially for single note stuff...

Also both the RKV and P6 I have effectively split the changes on P4 as well which is nice too.

The boowah is added back in on the Justice because like the RKV it's not crucial to me, but still nice to have.

Something to note is that I use both feet and always play P6 with my volume pedal foot. It wouldn't be very useful to me if I had to reach over and grab it everytime with the other foot...

Hope that explains everything.

Very lovely guitar!.. Reminds me of a Carter S10 I once bought.. That was a right handed guitar of course, but like yours it was a C6 set up with 6 and 5, and had the levers bunched up on the changer end. What a job making it an E9!

Enjoy the new ride...
I'm over the hill and hittin'rocks on the way down!

no gear list for me.. you don't have the time......
