Steel bar

Hi all!

Does anyone have an Emmons steel bar for sale? Or maybe another brand, please let me know for some ideas.

Best regards,

Mathew Jut :guitar:

I was totally astounded by the quality and low cost of this bar.

I'll second Billy's recommendation. Unbeatable price and an excellent bar :guitar:

Thanks all! I've just purchased an Emmons steel bar from someone in the US. I just want to try something else out besides my Dunlop and BJS bar. I will definitely try also out the one from Ebay! Again, much thanks for all of your reactions and recommendations.

If it's something different your after, Mathew. You should take a look at Basil Henriques' Ezzee-Slide bars. They are a completely different kettle of fish! I found mine to be very slick and speedy with a unique tone. I love it :guitar:

The eBay bar is from Ben ("Ben's Bars") - I got one of the very first. Excellent prep, tone and balance, and unbeatable price. Best steel bar I ever tried was a BJS, which I still have, but even that has some drag and string noise. The slickest by far is Basil's Eezzee-Slide made from medical grade polymer with a metal core - tungsten, in my case. Lovely feel, warm to the hand, very very quiet, although I think there is a tiny reduction in the top end and sustain. I use Basil's bar all the time these days, although I am keeping the other bars. Your mileage may vary...

How about a Shubb SP1?
