Are BJS bars still available?

Post by Justin Shaw »

I have sent several question emails without response. It's still possible to order but I don't want to order if the site (http://www.bjsbars.com) is dead.

I got one several months ago without trouble. You could contact Al Brisco in Canada, he should have them https://www.steelguitarcanada.com/online-store/bars/

I bought a 10 string bar, then realized my first finger was too long for it to be comfortable without bending my finger inward, and got a 12 string bar immediately after. I keep the 10 string in my case in the unlikely event I forget my other one

I hope they're still available - they're a truly great product

Butch is an absolute blessing to the PSG world. You're better off calling him on the phone. What size are you needing?

I just ordered a BJS bar about three weeks ago. Called him by phone. Love the bar, by the way.

You can't hardly beat the BJS John Hughey bar.
The only bar that might beat it is the Zirc bar.

Justin,

I did not get in contact with anyone at BJS before ordering my bar. I ordered my bar about a month ago, and it came in within a week or so - a very timely manner.

So as of about a month ago, they're still trucking along at BJS.

Regards,
Eric

Butch offers an excellent product and quick shipping. Here’s my new BJS 7/8 12 string bar, received it 3 days after ordering online.
