I do, and so does my dad. We both like them a lot.

I've got two of 'em and love 'em to death. I bought my first one at Scotty's some years ago and liked it so much I wanted a spare. I went to Billy Cooper's Steel shop in Orange, Va. to get another one and got it for $4.00 less than I paid the manufacturer at the convention, go figure...JH

I've got a 7/8ths, thinking about trying a 15/16ths.

Pedal Steel and 6/8 string bar. Great tone, feels just right, comfortable. You will fail to be disappointed.

Since 1994 here. Original shows a little flaky where the acids in my palm have affected but sounds great. Have my back up wrapped in chamois in a Crown Royal bag with some dessicant and then in a ziplock bag. Just got a Jim Dulop 12-string bar with a flat milled for that sitar sound. Like the sound, but it't not the BJS.

Hey Ricky,
You need to have your Sitar bar sent off and hard chromed. The Dunlop bar is stainless steel where the BJS is chromed. Hard Chrome is one of the hardest materials that you can coat steel in, and it makes the bar slick. I have had a lot of experience with hard chrome in competitive combat handguns. I have done my Dunlop bars this way and it gives them that slick feeling also.

I've got 2 of them. They are the best in my opinion. I've lost 2 different diamonds out of mine and one garnet. I'd like to find a Ruby that would fit one of them.
