Hi Dan & Ken Rollan, thanks for your offer, but I got lucky and Albert Tally had a Booth open for me. The number of the booth is R24, so for the ones that wanted to get in contact with me will know where I'm at.
Come by and lets get aquainted, I'm looking forward in seeing my friends, and meeting new ones.

There is one great thing about a Bill Stroud bar. They last for a lifetime. You never have to buy another one. Good for us, bad for Bill. HaHa. Jody.

Hello Mr. Stroud,
Will you have any of the 15/16" x3-1/4" bars for sale there? The plain ones - no birthstone.

Thanks,
Jerry Grant

See that's what I want guys to do, I would have not brought those length bars if you did not ask, now I know you want to either see one or get one so I'll bring it with me.
If anyone know what they want I can have it ready for you when I get there, I'm already getting emails from guys telling me what they want through my email bjsbars@frontiernet.net so if you know what you need or want, just email me your orders and Shirley will have your name on the box and they will be ready for pickup at my booth.
Thanks Jerry for asking,
Bill

Thank You Bill,
Yes I want one of the 15/16" x 3-1/4, or close, with no stone.
I plan on rolling in there on Wed afternoon to get settled in before the crowd.
See you there,
Jerry

W.J.,
I'm glad you asked I will put some in the box for you to try out, see I'm not bringing as many bars that I take to St Louis because I won't have the room, my booth is small compared to the one I get in St Louis, and I'm lucky to even get any size this late in the game but Thanks to Albert Tally I got one.
That's why I'm asking anyone that might want a particular bar is to let me know, and I will bring it, but I have so many different sizes and styles that I just can't bring them all.
I will be bringing the Birthstones as a lot of guys like those, just more personal, and they look good, especially under lights.
So email me or post here to let me know.
Thanks to all that have emailed and have put a request here on the forum.
The ones that email and post here as to what they want, their bars will be ready when I get there already boxed and ready to be purchase.
My email bjsbars@frontiernet.net web www.bjsbars.com there's an order form on my web page.
Anyone interested in an Evan's Amp, I've got two new ones in stock, I've got the very first tube pre-amp that was made SE200, and the other is a Solid State SE200 Amp both are new with covers.
If I don't get a request by email about the Amps I will not bring them.
Thanks,
Bill

Hey Bill,

I bought one of your bars about 3 1/2 years ago after my ONE of a KIND engraved by Reece Anderson MSA bar was stolen.

GREAT Bar and I love it! I want to get another one...but don't know if I will be able to make the show yet.

I will definitely come by to see you if I can.

Hi Billy, I would love to meet you, I hope you can make it, but I know when you have engagements (Bookings) that maybe you don't know of yet what that means, you have to go.
I play for a Gospel Group and the next one coming up is the week after Texas, so I could make it.
Hope to see you there,
Bill

Paddy, I will have some of those for you, if you want me to have the stone put in and ready for you tell me the month you were born in, and your name will be on that box.
Billy you are right, unless someone takes your bars you are set for life.
I keep one of my Steels & Amps at Church and the bar that I first made for myself is there also and it shows no wear, and it's never been re-polished or buffed, looks like new.
See you in Dallas, have a safe trip.
Bill

Bill I had wanted one of your bars, so in St Louis the girls gave me some money and said spend it while you are at the show, one purchase was yes a BJS Bar, Bill I love it and they do sound better, this bar is one great bar, slides so smooth and the sound is best yet, now if you could omly make one that does not make mistakes.??????
This will give you something to work on.

Hi John,
I'll have your bar for you, do you want a birthstone bar or plain nose?

Thanks Ernest for using the BJS bar, and thanks for the kind words.

Hi Paddy,
I got your email and your bar will be ready, I tried to email you back but it would not go through, I hit reply and wrote you but could not get it to go back to you.
Computers sometimes they like to mess with your mind.
See you soon,
Bill

Bill, If it is not too late, I would like to place my order for the 15/16 12 string John Hughey bar. I have one now but want a backup. With it being just a little bit longer, it doesn't feel like a 15/16.

I will also send you an email. Thanks.

Hey Bill

I won't get to come this year because of band bookings. My daughter and son in law will be working registration and security. I want them to pick me up a 15/16 John Hughey light without the stone in it.

Thanks

I had one of the early bjs bars that the farmed out coating went bad on. I took it to the St. Louis show. I think about 1996 or 97. AND Bill took a look at it. handed me a new bar. After 12 yrs or so it is good for many more.If you need a bar BJS is the best you can get.

For all of you that have emailed and stated here that you want a bar, they are packed up with your name on them and ready to be picked up at my Booth.
Thanks in advance for putting your order in as this saves some time. But I realize that some of you want to see and try a bar out before making your decision on which one that you want.
So many different styles and sizes.
I'll bring a few, like I said before I can't bring as many as I do in St Louis because of the limited space that I'll have.
Agani I'll say I can't wait to get down there, looking forward to it.
I hope I can hear from where my booth will be at some of the players on the main stage.
Bill
