SHUBB Guitar Steel SP1

The original Shubb-Pearse Steel designed by John Pearse is the choice of 8-string lap steel and Hawaiian guitarists who demand extra length (3 3⁄8″) and precision control. At 5.2 oz, this solid stainless steel bar delivers the durability and performance that define professional-grade lap steel playing. Engineered by musicians for musicians, the SP1 features a cutaway design for improved string control and a semi-bullet tip that glides smoothly across the strings. Unlike plated alternatives, solid stainless steel resists nicks and scratches—and any minor marks can be buffed out. There's no plating to wear away, meaning your steel stays as good as new indefinitely, outlasting multiple replacement bars over time. Built to last and priced to value, the SP1 delivers solid stainless steel construction at a fraction of the cost of comparable bars. A workhorse for serious players.
