Well let's see I started two years ago and I'm... 52. So, yes. You can do it. Yes. I'm starting to suck at pedal steel. The good news is that I suck mostly for myself and when I play with other pe ...

What a groove! That Williams DOES sound great.

I had a problem that stemmed from miscommunication between myself and Ron. When I received my guitar it was MUCH to high for me to be able to play. Once we identified what had happened Ron made it r ...

I just got these from Amazon. Standard hex wrench works for them and they go on good and tight. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H3LWWQE?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Robert Simms on the forum. Good guy.

I've recently been introduced to the idea of diminished chords as passing chords. Diminished chords also repeat every three frets. So with a little planning you can set yourself up with the most conv ...

Ron is underselling so I'll finish this for him. He makes great guitars. Astounding guitars when you consider what he charges for them. Add to that he's just a ...

If that falls through somehow I'm right in Cedar Park and I'll buy it.

My experience with Ron Anderson at Justice has been outstanding at every level. My first guitar is a Justice S10-Jr (which they no longer do but their entry level S10 is essentially the same thing). ...
