Hey guys George here. A while back i reached out to Mr Butch Gardner of BJS Bars, told him i got to missing my Sitar bar. Both Mr Stroud, & Mr Gardner, have made several lite bars for me through the years. I have always had arthritis since my late teens, and just can't use those heavy bars. So i sadly sold my heavy coated sitar bars on the forum here. But thankfully Mr Gardner to the rescue. He had the equipment to create and build me another lite masterpiece, i could hold on to, and have more control of.

His new Sitar Bar is available in several lengths, and weights. For 10 String, 12 string players, just write and tell him what you might need. And of course, you will get the same BJS Quality we have all come to trust through the years. I use this bar for several songs. Such as Norwegian Wood {The Beatles}, My Sweet Lord {George Harrison}, Sultans Of Swing {Dire Straits} and so many more.

Mr Gardner is a master at his craft, and will build you the very best. Prices vary depending on your build.




As a side note, the Boss SY-1 Synthesizer Pedal allows this sitar bar to create many different beautiful effects. They work together like a left & right glove. I spent two full days creating magic with both these tools.




Have Fun Very Happy

Thanks, George! I was looking for a sitar bar already and can't buy through the Forum since I don't use PayPal. Love my existing BJS bar so this is a no-brainer.

What do sitar bars do, exactly? I've seen them mentioned around but never heard one.
