hey Eric,
I bought a Jerry Byrd bar from you long long ago it seems (3/4" by 2 3/4"). I've since gone elsewhere for a bigger bar that suits my hand better but only because you'd stopped making bars.
If "steel" guitar is named after the bar then I'm not sure what a lot of us play... "thermoplastic" guitar? There would be no Ezzee Slide bars or Clinesmith bars if you hadn't started the (Copernican) revolution. Thank you. |

Eric Ebner is great people; makes/made amazingly great and innovative products and keeps/kept his shop/tools in fantastic condition. I know 'cuz I was there...more than once.
Hope the new shop business comes to be, if that is what you want, Eric. I'm half a world away now and still love my Tribotone stuff.
Take good care, sir. |

If we are not going to call it Hawaiian Guitar, I vote for "Thermoplastic guitar." Its far more dignified than Lap slide, and way "cooler."
