Titianium mostly would have its own tone.and cost would be about double. Remember its very light. You will have to try one to see,

Custom bars
Marty, Do you have the specs on the two bars I got from you? If you do I need one more like the number 2 bar only lighter and 1/4 inch longer. These are the best bars around. Stanley

Jesse,
I normally dont chrome, but I can. I only burnish harden since I usallly use 303 and 304 . I dont know the exach hardness about Rockwell c40-45. I dont like the way the super hard bars sound, and I think any harder that this is just good for poor handeling like droping the bar on the concrete.But if thats what you want I CAN do it.

Here's a couple shots of the bar Marty made for me, it's a "normal" 1" X 3 3/8" but only 5.5 oz - zip, zip, zippie. It's pictured with an old 70's Harris slide and one of my bronze machine-bearing numbers (named "My Big Johnson" for apocryphal reasons), because if you sawed off Marty's bar to about 2 1/2" it'd be a wicked guitar slide. But I like it the way it is.
