A Classic Among Hawaiian Guitar and 8-String Lap Steel Players
The Shubb SP1 is a tone bar favored by many Hawaiian guitar and lap steel musicians, especially in 8-string configurations. Its longer length and the carefully crafted contour of its ends help distribute pressure more evenly across the strings, achieve generous sustain, and maintain clear intonation even during demanding passages. Its stainless steel provides a consistent glide feel and stable touch, appreciated for expressive playing (vibrato, sharp attacks, long slides) while remaining comfortable over time. With its extra-wide profile and cutaway design, this tone bar aims for efficiency: precision, control, and consistency, delivering a clear and singing tone both on stage and in the studio.
