I have so many fine bars: Zirconia bar, Groner bar , Baz 's bar, Tribotone, various Hillman powder coated bars, BJS Jerry Byrd bar, Pearse Cryo , etc etc (I have a lot of bars) |
I gotta change my vote ... I'm going with my custom made ... 2.75" x 0.75" "Groner" bar ...
Perfect cupped backside ... a subtle taper on the front end ... and a tone that is outstanding ![Mr. Green](images/smiles/icon_mrgreen.gif) |

My favorite bar is my Clinesmith bar that I got in February after trying out a polymer bar on an Emmons D-10 at the Emmons Guitar Company. I use my Clinesmith bar for dobro right now, but want to try it on steel.

I love my Michael Hillman bars. The powder coating makes them so smooth and effortless on the strings. |
