Someone once posted that red is the new black...I dunno about that, but to me a red pedal steel looks very good !



I (think) these are all the red ones I have owned over the years.







here is yet 2 more red one that i have owned andjust thought of...these were great steels also

I prefer wood grain or even wood mica.

However if I had to choose red vs black on an instrument with chrome, it would be red.

Those guitars look like Corvettes to me whereas black looks more like a Caddy. Both nice, but I know which one I want more.

Hey Wing Nut, where did you find such a critter as that?
Both are nice looking guitars,,in fact, the Justice S~10 is beautiful.

It's hard to not like a Holly Red Legrande. I had a new Legrande III SD10 back in the day that was Holly Red. There are different color red's in mica, most I find too bright. I searched for a Holly mica match for my recent Mullen G2, thru trial and error with Mike's help, we found a Wilson Art mica match. Now I don't have the craving for my old Emmons back. If I played with a band regularly, Black would be the way to go.

Me too Larry. I've had 3 red ones. I've owned only one factory new guitar and I ordered it in red. It's my favorite color next to black.

I don’t like red much. I don’t care for red cars, red houses, or red guitars. Red hair is usually another matter... I played a red lacquer Mullen for a few years because it was a super bargain, and a great guitar. But still red.

Hey Fred, I saw a Justice Judge at SWSGA show that is the most beautiful one I have ever seen ! It was sold and was going to the Navy band as I recall...amazing !

BTW, my new Justice tuned to C6 will be red also Smile

Take care, it was good to see you there...
