Extra Heavy Tone Bar With Cutaways

Post by Gus Callaway »

I have two bars currently, a round dunlop 921 (3.75" X 1.00", 11 ounces) and a shubb sp2 with cutaways (2.875", 5 ounces).

Really what I want is the shape/ergonomics of the sp2 with the weight of the dunlop. Does anyone make extra-heavy cutaway bars? I'm thinking the inside would need to be filled with lead or something denser than steel.

There's bullet bars with incuts, Michael Hillman's powder coated bars are great
