Slide/Shubb-Robert Randolph Steel RR1

Robert Randolph is taking the steel guitar into a whole new direction, and people are sitting up and taking notice. Shubb couldn’t help but notice that he was using one of their bars.

Shubb’s Gary Mobley went to hear him play, and got a chance to chat with him backstage. Robert said that he loved Shubb bars just as they were, but when Gary asked “If you could have it exactly the way you want…” then Robert began making some suggestions.

A few generations of prototypes later, we arrived at the two bars that Robert now endorses and uses exclusively.
