Mr.Power Guitar Slide Metal Steel Tone Bar for Dobro, Lap Steel Guitar, Hawai...

New to lap guitar and couldn't resist Rogue $69 MF daily deal. Us guitar players want one of each. I bought this kit to try this kind of slide over a rounded bar, which I bought too. I won't use the fingerpicks but I like that I could try them at this great price. The slide is comfortable, has a nice weight. It seems to be durable and made of quality material. I don't know what a more benefit a more expensive one would be. It fits fine between the fingers. The material is decent and heavy. It has a nice weight for use. I don't know if I like the bar or this better. The bar I can use on a dulcimer too.

This Mr.Power guitar slide tone bar set is an excellent value and works beautifully for dobro, lap steel, and Hawaiian-style playing. The steel tone bar has a smooth finish and comfortable weight, making slides clean, controlled, and consistent with great sustain and tone. The included thumb and finger picks fit well and feel sturdy, providing good attack without being harsh. I also appreciate that both celluloid and stainless steel picks are included, giving some flexibility depending on playing style and preference. Everything comes neatly packaged with a storage bag, which is a nice touch for keeping gear organized. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, this set delivers solid performance and great tone at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Feels solid in-hand -- which it should, as it's a hunk of steel, I know. Seems well finished and smooth. If I actually knew how to play steel guitar my impression might be worthwhile, but I don't, so all I can say is that this slide seems decent to a rank beginner. Good weight, so it dampens the strings and creates that cool sliiiide sound without undue effort. Now I just gotta get myself to practice more!

Works well for extra slide

Picks are very cheap, actual slide is okay but both a better heavier one

The items arrived quickly and are good quality, including the storage pouch. Good value.

The slide is real nice easy to hold. The picks that cover the fingertip seem to be the only one's that have seemed to have worked for me. Your results may vary?

I recently got another lap steel guitar. I wanted to get another tone bar slide as I like the comfort of the shape as it is easier to lift than the straight cylindrical ones. The one I have purchased before was out of stock and this one was less expensive so I ordered it. It comes with a nice cloth zippered case and two sets of thumb/finger picks (metal and celluloid plastic) which are pretty nice. I am quite happy with this one and happy that i got it to add to my collection.

Bought to play Hawaiian lap steel guitar.

Good quality and price.

I bought this to use with my first lap steel, a Gretsch G5700. The tone bar works ok, but the top "corners" are quite sharp and make it uncomfortable to use. The finish is wearing off where the bar makes contact with the strings, after just 3 or 4 hours of use. There is a brass colour underneath. As for the picks, the plastic thumb pick is ok. The metal finger picks are thin and flimsy, and not really suitable for use. They bent too easily and didn't stay on my fingers. I've binned those. The plastic finger picks didn't fit me so I can't comment on them. I haven't tried the metal thumb pick. I've since bought a Shubb SP2 tone bar which is very comfortable as the edges/corners are rounded and don't dig into my hand.

Works as it should, the edges are a bit sharp I just softened them up with some fine sandpaper and all is good.

Works very well once you have learnt how to use properly.
