This likely won't be a big deal to most folks but it is a very special day for me and Justice Steel Guitars.
Today I reached a milestone and sold my "100th" Justice guitar.
Mr. Hubert Timpa of Lake Charles LA. ordered his second guitar this morning. Thank you Hubert.
Its been four years and four months since I introduced my first three guitars at the Dallas show.
Its been a blessing from God every step of the way.
Praise be to the Lord and all my good customers, we've not been with out guitars to build since we started.
I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every person that made this day possible. God bless each of you for making this old man's dreams come true.
Thank you to my sweet wife Brenda as well, it would not have been possible with out her to help and support me.
"Now" looking for # 101 
Oh, Edited to say "Thanks to Tommy Minniear" for building and maintaining my lovely website.

| Fred, as the old sayin' goes, "Do Good--Get Good!" A lot of hard work I'm sure for you and Ms. Brenda, but I would imagine it has been a Labor of Love for you both. On to the next 100 beautiful Justice Steels! All My Best, Carl |

Fred, A great milestone my friend! That means more than 25 steels per year. Plus, you have some real heavyweights playing your steels.
Congratulations to you for a fine contribution to the steel world!

Happy to be one of the "100". Hope you had a great time in Branson. Saw Jack Stanton Last Saturday nite, and he was great. Says hello. Thanks for your patience with a newbie, and looking forward to getting my new ax. Also, Mrs Justice is very sweet, and loved talkin to her. Will post pics of my ST10 when I have it set up.

Congratulations, Fred. I don't own one...yet. Maybe I can be one of the 2nd 100. I came to your shop last October as I was in the area and enjoyed a visit with you and your wife.

Thank you each and everyone. I'm still celebrating yet today by giving Brenda the day off,  just kidding.
With God's blessings they will be a second hundred and a third hundred and on and on.
I love what I'm doing, love to make people happy.
As someone mentioned, it is in deed a labor of love, just to hear the sweet music that comes out of these steel guitars is a blessing to my ears.
So, marching forward folks, thank you all again.

| Congratulations Fred. There is a reason why people like Justice Steel Guitars. I can sum it up in one word-"QUALITY". Being in business building products boils down to one thing-Hard Work. The only reward comes from seeing other people happy using the product you built. I was happy to see Mike Mantley complement Fred. Mike Mantley is a good person. Mike builds a wonderful guitar also. More guitar builders should show the respect Mike has shown to his competition. Something I have not figured out yet---Fred, at our age is work killing us, or keeping us alive. I see many people who retire and do nothing die quickly. At least working hard is keeping Fred off the street and out of trouble. |

| Congrats, Fred. You deserve the good things that come your way. By the way, played my first gig with my new Justice. It was a good experience. Band members all commented on the tone quality. I couldn't have been more pleased. Keep up the fine work. |

Hey Good Buddy! Congrats on your first 100. Seems like yesterday when you built your first one. Keep on working hard but take care of your feet and hands. Rest them once in awhile. Love you Buddy! Ray

Fred I hope to be in the next hundred somewhere....When I reach a level to where I can start playing with lots of different bands, then I'll order one, and I will be getting your light little single 10 with that cool add on arm rest. Love your guitars...and I must say.....a friend gave me a cd with some of your playing and I love the way you play as well. Congrats, and keep up the great work.
