Hi Guys, it's so nice to know that I'm in good company and great minds think alike. I've been using a 15/16" dia x 3 9/16" long stainless steel bar for about the last 6 years and although I'm a nobody in company of the great Mr john Hughey, I would recomend this size of bar to anyone. I don't know the length of a 12 string bar, but I would guess it is near the same length? I have my bars made for me by a top class machinist and then I mirrow polish it myself. Kind regards, Dave (UK)

Hi Dave,
Yes my 12 string bars are the same length 3 9/16". That to me is the perfect length for the bars.
Thanks for your comments.
Bill

Hi Al Brisco, I've got your stock bars in the works, it won't be long now.
Thanks,
Bill

Leon, I did not answer you, but you of all people know how busy I am.
Sorry for that, but the good news is 320 bars will be at the platers Monday morning, I should have them back the following Monday so that means the orders that's received will be shipping that week.
I'm still working the rest of the bars until I get them all done....several more to go.
Thanks to all,
Bill

Good news, the bars if nothing happens, will start shipping the first of next week, as we receive the orders.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill, that's great news. You have my order for the 10 string 15/16 Light bar. I can't wait. I have one of your 7/8 10 stringer and it also is a great bar.

Hi John: Just to let you know that I received my JH Lite 12string 7/8 bar with birthstone today from Bill. The quality of material and workmanship is awesome. The playing of the lighter weight bar sure makes it easier for this old geezer to maneuver the bar without losing the quality of the sound.
Thanks for a great idea.
Harvey

Thanks Harvey for using the BJS Bars.

Well its not too long until I get to meet most of you at Scotty's Steel Guitar Convention. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you that have already purchased your new bar. Also I'm looking forward to a good show and hear some great picking. Scotty and his family puts a lot of hard work into these Conventions. Lets let them know how we appreciate their hard work.

Bill, I emailed my order. I know this must be causing you confusion. Hope you got me in the pipeline.

Hi Jim,
Shirley shipped your bar out yesterday, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.
Thanks for the order.
