Looking forward to seeing many Forum members at the Dallas Show - our table as usual will be in the back of the main ballroom between Mike Sweeney and Texas Music Supply. Bring me any old powder coated bars you’d like to exchange for $15 for new. I’ll have a good representation of what we make, feel free to contact me if you are wanting a specific size and color. Thanks!

Posted 10 Jun 2023 7:39 pm Still making powder coated bars!
|

Someone emailed me last week asking if we were still making powder coated bars,and yes we are- haven’t raised prices since we began this thread on the Forum, but, due to inflation we will have to raise slightly the end of July. Thanks to all who support our project, and contact me with any requests or questions. -Michael _________________ Two Spector 5 string basses, Martin D-18, Taylor 812CE, 1944 Epiphone Zenith, a killer Luttrell 6 string resophonic, 1932 Model 56 Dobro, Beard Model E, Martin Soprano Uke, 10 string 1953 Alkire Eharp, Peavey Nashville 112, Fender Bassman, Fender 75 watt Rumble, and a Fender 100 watt Rumble. |

I’ve held the pricing of our bars fairly constant since 2014; but today increased prices about $7.00 per bar— thanks to all who have supported our powder coated bar project since it began in August of 2014. Looking forward to seeing many Forum members at the Dallas Show in March! -Michael _________________ Two Spector 5 string basses, Martin D-18, Taylor 812CE, 1944 Epiphone Zenith, a killer Luttrell 6 string resophonic, 1932 Model 56 Dobro, Beard Model E, Martin Soprano Uke, 10 string 1953 Alkire Eharp, Peavey Nashville 112, Fender Bassman, Fender 75 watt Rumble, and a Fender 100 watt Rumble. |

We will be in the back of the main ballroom in our usual spot, right by Mike Sweeney—stop by and say hello if you will be there! Shoot me an email if you are looking for a particular size and color bar, we will have a good representation of our stock, but I can’t bring everything. As usual, if you have old powder coated bars you’d like to swap for new ones, $20 per bar. Current pricing appears on this page, about three posts above. -Michael _________________ Two Spector 5 string basses, Martin D-18, Taylor 812CE, 1944 Epiphone Zenith, a killer Luttrell 6 string resophonic, 1932 Model 56 Dobro, Beard Model E, Martin Soprano Uke, 10 string 1953 Alkire Eharp, Peavey Nashville 112, Fender Bassman, Fender 75 watt Rumble, and a Fender 100 watt Rumble. |

We will be out of the shop for the Dallas steel guitar show, March 7, returning late on the 12th. Love to have any Forum members that are attending stop by and say hello, we are in our usual spot next-door to Mike Sweeney in the back of the main ballroom. We will bring a good selection of colors and sizes of bars, just did a batch in various sizes that are a turquoise color. Swap any badly worn or damaged bars for a new one for $20. Looking forward to a great show this year, thanks to Albert and Debbie for all they do to put on this great show!! _________________ Two Spector 5 string basses, Martin D-18, Taylor 812CE, 1944 Epiphone Zenith, a killer Luttrell 6 string resophonic, 1932 Model 56 Dobro, Beard Model E, Martin Soprano Uke, 10 string 1953 Alkire Eharp, Peavey Nashville 112, Fender Bassman, Fender 75 watt Rumble, and a Fender 100 watt Rumble. |
