Now you'll have a great steel as well as the best bar!
My Emmons bar has gone into retirement some time ago. And Bill is an absolute gentleman to deal with Smile

Thank you Bill for using the BJS Bar, any problems let me know.
I suggest don't eat Chicken and try to hold onto the bar, not a good combination. ha ha
Bill

Thank all of you for your comments, that's what keeps me going.

Ok I'm at my desk at work (yes I'm writing on the SGF while I'm at work.... shame on me) Anywho I've got my BJS next to me a a hilton vp in the box Can't wait to try them out. The very nice lady who answered the phone had a hard time understanding me. I told her I was sorry for my vulgar Baaahstan Yankee accent. We had a chuckle over it. Thanks for getting it out so quick. Only 3hrs till I get to try this bar..... Sad

I first met BJ at the Dallas show about 3 yrs back now...My first BJS bar lasted me 12 yrs, and is still as smooth as the day I purchased it. (Shes retired now and sits on the windowsill) Since then Ive moved to the 15/16 12 string bar....And as my profile says..."Only BJS Bars" will do!!
Great product, and one great individual...Thats BJ!!

My favorite BJS bar is the 15/16" John Hughey bar.

Just like the three bears: not too heavy, not too light, just right! Very Happy

Bought mine 19 years ago and it's still as smooth as it was when i first got it, i have small hands so the 7/8 is perfect for me and Bill is a good guy to deal with.

like they say... the best in the west Smile BJS all the way.

I use the 15/16 bar I bought from Gerry Hogan here in the U.K. It delivers a superb tone and masses of sustain, a great product!

I rememnber mentioning this a few weeks ago. It really does make a lot of difference, doesn't it. I have seen the work involved in preparing these bars for sale, its no wonder that they are the best. you will probably want one next year too. John Hughey bar is great, just a bit lighter for faster moves.

hi to scott too, nice guitar..
