I have a brand new never used left-hand Cryogenically hardened stainless steel play bar. It is 7/8” x 3 1/4”. Please email me at rollermusic@cox.net for price too low to post.
I also have a left-hand reso simulator bar very slightly used for $27.00.
Please close, gonna do a turn around mod on them and sell them as right-handed bars.
Jerry

Do you sell left hands (an actual hand) so we can "switch" from one way of playing to the other? You know, Kind of like Day vs Emmons.

I hate to ruin your profit, but if you set up facing the opposite direction, you'll have one. . . for free!

Jerry, I cannot blame you one little bit for being upset that anyone would make light of such a well thought out post. I have one the those left-hand bars but when I sit on the right side and use it. it wants to play the "outro" instead of the "intro'.

It is real question. The extension nut on some designs ONLY properly fit the nut one way (with bass strings having the widest slots.) You just cannot turn it around because it will be tipped inward (or outward) and will screw up the scale.

Thanx,
Jim

My previous reply was for an extension nut, BUT also applies to a bar with round nose. Wider grooves at rounded(bullet end)!!

Thanx,
Jim

This post has 171 views and still neither bar has sold. Apparently, there is some confusion concerning the left-hand bar. The left-hand bar is to be held in the right hand of the left hand player while a right-hand bar is to be held in the left hand by a right hand player. If you face a mirror while sitting at your guitar you can readily see if you need a left-hand bar.

I bought one of these once by accident. It was really confusing until I realized it was a left-handed bar, designed to be used in the right hand of a left-handed player. Live and learn! Oh Well
