Of the 298 pedal steel guitars Fred Justice hand built prior to his retirement, this example below is a one of one edition. There will never be another tri-color steel(turquoise and pearl white oyster with a black satin top)with matching front and rear aprons, a very rare “fat back” non cut away rear apron, four foot pedals(#1 being Fred’s special “booyah” pedal)and five knee levers.
Perfect in every way, hand signed underneath by Mr. Justice himself, with a very special dedication to me.
We speak a few times a year now, not as much as I would like, but every time is special. I am honored to call you my friend, Fred. This guitar will remain in my family forever, and the story of the build, included in the case, will remain there forever also.
Thank you again for such a beautiful instrument Fred!
Build date November 10, 2013.
