Does anyone make a non-metal Stevens bar for Dobro and lap steel? Sorry if this is the millionth type this has been asked!

Looks like the Dunlop 911 Mudslide bar is a similar ceramic:

And JunkShopAudio on Etsy sells some marble bars:

I'm sure there are others as well, John.

Shubb's GS bar has a wood handle, but the business end (where the bar touches the strings) is SS. Makes for a lighter bar that's easier to grip, and warmer to the touch.
A lot cheaper at Sweetwater than at Shubb.

I don’t work for RM Slides… but I’ve been using them exclusively for a couple years now and LOVE the feel and tone. The Salida is cool to look at and play.David Venzke wrote:Rocky Mountain slides is one that comes to my mind:
