My question is what are the symptoms of a worn out bar?

I wanted another for C6 tuning. SX offers decent build for a fair price.

In the 1956 catalog there is a single neck stringmaster. In 57 it’s relabeled a deluxe.

ALL FACTORY Fender Stringmasters are multi-neck guitars with eight strings per neck...
