Go-bar Clamping Rod
We’ve updated our Go-bar Clamping Rods for pinpoint clamping with our Go-bar Clamping System. With two sizes it’s easy to dial in the right pressure for braces, tops, backs, bridges, and more.
The go-bar clamping technique is simple and fast, with more uniform clamping pressure. Our rods come with rubber tip protectors on each end to reduce slipping and protect the wood from dents. Extra tip protectors available separately.
Choose the right pressure rod for the job
- Regular Pressure: the perfect balance of flex and pressure for most jobs
- Extra Pressure: for tough jobs that require more clamping power
"Gluing braces on tops and backs used to be a slow process. One session used to take me two hours, but with go-bars it's less than twenty minutes. I build a dozen or more acoustic guitars a year in my home shop. I couldn't build that many in my limited spare time without using go-bars."
— Todd Sams, StewMac Production Manager
Buy additional go-bar rods to go with the Go-bar Clamping System, or use them in your own setup. We recommend 20 to 24 bars to completely clamp all braces of a top or back at one time.
