| I've noticed that BJS chrome bars resist nicks (when dropped) better than a stainless steel bar. Anyone notice this? |

I played a BJS bar for about 15 years, and it never showed a scratch. Then I ordered a new one thinking that maybe the sound of the original had gradually dulled over time. When I got it, I discovered that there was no difference in the sound of the two bars. The old bar sounded just like the new one. BJS bars last forever!
They sound great, too.

Bobby Lee, what difference does it make if your BJS bar lasts forever or not, you aren't going to! (neither am I)

Bobbe, some of us want to leave something to our children and grandchildren. Being steel players, our BJS bar is about it.

Yea Herb, I know what you mean, I'm still playing the one my great grandfather left me.
But it's starting to get flat on the bottom. Guess I'll have to turn it over next millineum. I also have 86 years on my third string, hasn't broken yet. I play every night too! When my first string starts to get flat, I'll turn it over too!

Have any of you tried the George L stainless bar? I just got one by accident, seems very slick on the strings so far.
Curious what experience others have had with it.

| Does George L make single coil bars, or are they all humbucking? |

| Is that a tone bar in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? |
