Hey Ron. I see nothing wrong with posting how excited or happy you were with your purchase. That's kinda part of what this forum is all about. Ain't it?
I don't post much, but I get a lot of information and quite few laughs reading. Actually ya never where where a post may go.
Hey, I love my Black Phoenix too!

I've been thinking about getting one. I think I read somewhere that the coating on the Black Phoenix is harder, is that true? Bill Stafford let me try his bar, I loved it but he said it would cost him about $450 to make one now. Of course he also said he tunes all fourteen of his strings to "E". I wanted to sound just like him so I ruined a lot of strings before I figured out he was joking.

I have a black phoenix .750 x 2.98 and I love it. I tried going back to chrome and there is no comparison in the slickness. I have found that the 2.98 could stand to be longer, so I am going to use it on the 6 string Harmony I just bought and order a 3.25 for my 8 string guitars.
BTW, Chuck is a great guy to do business with!

I bought a black bar from Chuck awhile back, and sent it back because the covering was not smooth at the back end, and Chuck sent me a new one, no problem. After using a little, I didn't like the weight (lighter than my chrome bar) and I gave it to Derrick Mau. What I really liked about the black bar was that it was a lot easier to hold onto, and seemed quieter.
