New Justice SD-10 "Pro Lite" (( PICTURES ADDED ))

Post by Fred Justice »

"Pictures Added" Visit our website for more detailed information and slide show.
http://www.fredjusticemusic.com/id28.html

Hi everyone, we have been working on a new model for some time now, and its just days from unveiling.
This is a professional SD-10 model in every way, but has been lightened up to weight about 26 lbs. out of the case.
The cabinet will measure 9&1/2 inches wide with a 3 inch pad. A real nice powder coating finish with 3 pedals and 4 knee levers (vertical KL optional)
This guitar has high end quality in design and craftsmanship, and will have that Justice tone just like our Pro model, The Judge.
This guitar has been designed with the Pro player in mind that wants to fly their guitar and come in under 50 lbs. The "Pro Lite" is NOT a student model.
Yet affordable enough for the beginner wanting to get started and not spend the big bucks.

Now for the good part, were shooting for a retail price for the Justice "Pro Lite" at $1995.00
Don't etch that in stone but that's what its looking like.
Were under two weeks away, in fact I hope to unveil the "Pro Lite" at the Baxter Springs KS. Show Sept. 30th.

Pictures will be forthcoming, thanks for looking.

Ray, Jerry, thanks for your post. Its getting closer, the cross rods go in in the morning and I hope to have some "DONE" pictures by Thursday.
It is so cool, of course the Proto (first one) will always have a home here at its birth place.
I've already got the case done and it should be travel worthy by next weekend and officially go on the market at the Baxter Springs Show. Watch for it on our website.
Two players have already requested to play the Pro Lite on their set at this show.
Watch for more updates and thanks for looking. :D :D

Fred, I've owned a really nice student guitar. I know this is a pro lite and not necessarily a student model, but it's the best looking economy guitar I've ever seen... I'm sure it has that great Justice touch, feel and sound to it too. I can't wait to see it in person. Congratulations!!!!

It appears that you have included split tuning? If so that is a big plus!

Clark D. thank you for your inspiring words Sir.

Rick B. thanks for your round of confidence buddy.

Crowbear, good to hear from you. Yes, I believe it to be a winner. Its a pro guitar in every way, just doesn't have a suit and tie on. :D

Greg thanks for chiming in pal.
The Pro Lite is a pro guitar, it has triple raise, triple lower, split tuning, a BL 705 PU, on a 9-1/2 inch cabinet.
It weighs in at 26.4 lbs. out of the case, about 45 lbs. in the case. Tone to the bone at $1995.00 plus shipping, how sweet it is. :D

Just wondering if the Pro Lite will be available in the same mica colors as the other models. Say, red burl maybe?

Hi Fred.
Looks great. I just spent two days buffing my end plates, with alot more buffing to go. I remember what you said when I asked you for buffing advice.

Larry B. that's right, a week from today.
Don't forget about the picnic at the river Thursday night at 4:00 PM

Mike my dear friend, thanks for your confidence in me.

Billy C. yes, except for the pearl's and ripple's, all and any standard mica colors I stock is available for the Pro Lite as well. However, two tone or split fronts are not available on the Pro Lite.

Ron P. ole pal, I gotta say "I told ya so"
Unless you have access to a pro buffing shop, I wouldn't even start, way to messy and time consuming for the results at home.
We need to get you in a Pro Lite anyway.:D :D
