Official Luthiers Forum!

Anyone know where I could get some? Tired of the rinky dink roly poly 1/4'round fiberglass ones...

Have you tried square/rectangular wooden go-bars?

I made up a batch based on suggestions from folks here on the forum and I LOVE them!

You just resaw some clear wood. Chop the end shorter and sand them down till they flex and spring properly in your deck.

My favorites so far are Oak. Spruce are ok. Cedar doesn't provide enough spring force before it gets way too splitty.

And.... You can make as many or few as you want.

Which reminds me... I need to make up 20 or 30 more oak bars for my deck.

I know this has been asked many times in the past few years. Too bad Stew Mac stopped selling them.

Check this place out. Maybe you can get someone in the US to put in an order and it can be split....??
