If someone knows, what size bar did Buddy Emmons use most of the time?

Hi Gary,
Buddy used a 7/8 BJS the last time I saw him record at Oceanway studios...I was in one room and he in the other studio....Choose the right bar length for your physicality - so you can maintain complete control of the bar as Buddy did....I can't play as well with a 10 string bar because my fingers are too long for that size. They would extend over the tip of the bar....For someone else its perfect....Wear a glove like Arnold Palmers, not the same size as his, that is unless your hands are the exact same size as Arnold's...The bar should tuck in as close as possible to the palm when playing so its secure for fast bar movements.
