I know the subject of tone bars has been beat to death but I ordered and recieved a Super Slide Tone Bar ( based on Charlie,s Bar) about a week ago. Like most of us I have tried about every bar out there and have a drawer full! I used a Beard 20/10 (chrome) and a Scheerhorn (stainless steel) and like both of them. The Scheerhorn has been my go to bar for quite a while. The Super Slide felt great as soon as I picked it up, bigger all around, taller and heavier than the others but is the same length. There is a fuller tone thats hard to explain, maybe from the extra weight. The edges are super sharp and give very poppy pull offs. So far I'm very pleased. This is my knew "go to" bar. Here is the link to their website.

Congrats on finding your “go to” bar!

The Super Slide definitely has a beefy tone to my ears also. It’s great for fullness and rich sustain.

Your 3 bar photo is a good one for those seeking to compare the shapes.

I’ve found the Super Slide and EG Smith bar (not shown) have a more pronounced side cut-out curve and/or top lip, which helps lock in the grip.

Other bars, like the Beard Waves design, have a less pronounced cut-out, which might allow a player to float the thumb up off the strings a bit easier.

And the Beard is lighter and gives a brighter tone, to my ears.

Charlie’s and the folks at Super Slide are top notch, both in quality and customer service.

Good stuff.
