I gotta change my vote ... I'm going with my custom made ... 2.75" x 0.75" "Groner" bar ...

Perfect cupped backside ... a subtle taper on the front end ... and a tone that is outstanding :mrgreen:

My favorite bar is my Clinesmith bar that I got in February after trying out a polymer bar on an Emmons D-10 at the Emmons Guitar Company. I use my Clinesmith bar for dobro right now, but want to try it on steel.

I love my Michael Hillman bars. The powder coating makes them so smooth and effortless on the strings.
