Is this bar a Black Rajah? I got it with a 50's no-name lap steel a few years ago. It appears to be lead filled bakelite and is three inches long and tapers from approx. 13/16 to 11/16 and weighs 4.5 oz. I'm asking the question here on No Peddlers since I'm thinking that anyone who would use a bar like this either plays lap steel or acoustic. Hope the picture comes out, my first attempt at posting one.

| Yep, that's it! You're lucky if that's still uncracked. Most of them you see nowadays have cracked and missing pieces of coating. |

Yes, It is the Black Raja bar. When I played my T-8 Fender in the 50's. I would use it for some tunes when I needed a minimum of string noise and a lot of 'mellow'. Just NEVER drop it on a hard surface like I did with one. It shattered into many, many pieces, and went into the trash can.
Thanx,
