I purchased two of these bars from Glen. These are some of the best I have ever used, and Glen is a great guy to deal with. Professional all the way!

I have used BJS and Dunlap bars in the past. The bar I bought from Glenn with the slightly weighted nose makes a big difference for me.

Highly recommended.

Hi Glen, Just got my 7/8 440 stainless bar today with the green insert. I have a 15/16 bar but lately I've gone back to the 7/8 size. I would encourage anyone that wants a top quality stainless bar to give these a try. Great bars.

I have the 340 stainless, I have had it a couple of years and it is a great bar. Took getting used to at first, because I have a small hand. But I have better tone than what I have had in years. Thanks Glen.

I just got mine a few days ago. I moved up to a 15/16" from a BJS 7/8" bar. I love it. The heavier front end really helps me out. Great product. Great price.

I have a question for anyone who can answer... I've only been playing since May, but my hand cramps in the middle very quickly with the 7/8 bar im using now. I was told to tey a bigger bar and these were.suggested....

Should I get a 15/16 or 1". The 7/8 feels small in my hand so I didnt know if 15/16 would be enough of a difference.

15/16" feels much larger than 7/8". I think if you did a blind test you'd think it was more than only 1/16" larger. Smile
I have large hands & find 15/16" to be ideal.

Hey Glen, sending the payment for a 7/8ths bar front loaded. Can't wait to give it a try.
UPDATE - I got my bar in the mail and used it all night last night.. At first I didn't think much of it but that changed after about 10 mins of playing. The weight in the top end really does a lot as far as control. These bars are incredible! I highly recommend them!
-Tim

Got mine today. Took only about 4 days to get to waaay upstate NY. Just gave it about a two hour work out, very nice! The slightly weighted end makes it a bit easier to control slants. Thanks, Glen!
