Description For both pedal steel players and Dobroists. Designed by John Pearse. Carved from an ingot of solid stainless steel. The original Shubb-Pearse Steel is favored by many 8-string lap steel and Hawaiian guitarists for its extra length and cutaway bullet tip. Unique design features not found on any other bars, including cutaway ends for improved control, and a semi-bullet tip which facilitates movement across the strings. Resists nicks and scratches far better than a plated bar, and if it ever should get a nick or scratch, it can be buffed out, unlike a plated bar. No plating to wear off. Any plated bar will wear down, and people end up replacing them. A stainless bar will remain as good as new indefinitely — outlasting a drawer full of worn out plated bars. Length: 3.125″ Weight: 5.0 oz
