Need 919 Bars

Post by Jeff Strouse »

I'm looking for two new or barely used (like new) Dunlop 919 bars. Anyone know where the best priced place to get them is?

I was examining the 919 bar that I use, and it has a lot of surface scratches on it. I'm not sure if this affects tone or not, but I'd like to obtain a couple of more to have around so I don't have to get all my "mileage" out of this one bar. Plus, I'd like to have a bar in each room so the guitar I have displayed there can be played instantly, without having to remember where I left my bar.

Also, does anyone else "clean" these regularly? About every six months or so, I wipe it with some Windex. It makes it shiny again, but does it do any harm to the chrome?

Thanks!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jeff Strouse on 24 March 2005 at 06:32 PM.]</p></FONT>

I know a deep scratch will kill one those 919's. I did it once.
You can get them from Elderly.
But what's this ?(!!!)No less than three (count'm three) steel sizes "designed specifically for Hawaiian virtuoso Jerry Byrd".
