I have sent several question emails without response. It's still possible to order but I don't want to order if the site (http://www.bjsbars.com) is dead. |

I got one several months ago without trouble. You could contact Al Brisco in Canada, he should have them https://www.steelguitarcanada.com/online-store/bars/
I bought a 10 string bar, then realized my first finger was too long for it to be comfortable without bending my finger inward, and got a 12 string bar immediately after. I keep the 10 string in my case in the unlikely event I forget my other one _________________ Bryce

I hope they're still available - they're a truly great product _________________ Make sleeping dogs tell the truth!

Butch is an absolute blessing to the PSG world. You're better off calling him on the phone. What size are you needing? |

I just ordered a BJS bar about three weeks ago. Called him by phone. Love the bar, by the way. |

You can't hardly beat the BJS John Hughey bar.
The only bar that might beat it is the Zirc bar.

Justin,
I did not get in contact with anyone at BJS before ordering my bar. I ordered my bar about a month ago, and it came in within a week or so - a very timely manner.
So as of about a month ago, they're still trucking along at BJS.
Regards,
Eric |

Butch offers an excellent product and quick shipping. Here’s my new BJS 7/8 12 string bar, received it 3 days after ordering online.

I just spoke to Butch at BJS and he is waiting for a shipment from the chrome plater. I am dying to try out a 12 string bar since I play a U-12 and my fingers are long. I'm going to take Paul Franklin's advice and try one! _________________ Regards,

Hi Bryce,
Thanks for the mention, however I retired in August & sold our property, moved 3 hours away & Betty & I are now renting.
I still do a bit of playing, however it gets harder to carry the equipment...Ha, Ha.

I just got one maybe a week or two ago. I know he had been waiting to get them back from the plater and had said they had just come in. So he may be waiting for the next batch again now, as it seems they tend to go as fast as they come in. Phenomenal product, and great service!!! |

Butch sent me a 15/16 10 string about 2 weeks ago. I reached out in November, and he said he would get a hold of me as soon as they arrived from plating. Butch is great! |
