Steel guitar bar Norm Hamlet uses

Post by Brett Day »

While looking at Facebook tonight, I saw several pictures of Norm Hamlet playing a GFI Ultra SD-10 and I noticed he wasn't using a stainless steel or chrome bar. The bar he was using in the pictures looked like an Ezzee-Slide polymer bar like the one I use-it was white like the one I use. I'd like to know what bar Norm is currently using.

I think that white bar was a zirconia bar.

Hillman bars come in white also and when I got mine, my other bars became just dust collectors. :)
