OK - shipping snafus aside, I received my bar yesterday and I am very satisfied. I got the 1" 440 and it is a very warm, very overtone-controlling bar. I did the A-B test with 4 other makes and there was, to my ears, a noticeable, positive, difference.
(This is my first 1" bar and I also noticed how much more comfortable that is than even the 7/8" for arthritic knuckles.)
Great bar and thank you Glen!

Great Bar

Post by Jimmie Hudson »

Got the new Bar today. This is the best bar I have ever had in my hand. The bar is as smooth as butter. It feels like it just glides on the strings. The tone of the guitar comes out bigtime with this bar.
The sustain lives under this bar far better than any other bar I have used.
All I can say is, SUPER GREAT BAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be telling all my customers about this bar.
