RT-3FTF

Model - RT-3FTF

At the request of some folks, I did a run of RT-3 bar with the full top flute as opposed to the standard RT-3, which has some of the top flute removed and beveled into the front 22.5 degree angle the way Mr. Tipton did them.  Some who use the FTF say it's easier to hold but it also feels just a little bit larger in the hand than the standard RT-3, so folks that like a large bar or have larger hands seem to like this model, and that's who I made these for.  It seems strange that a bar that feels larger can also seem easier to hold, but that's the feedback I've been getting on these.   The playing surface of the bar is 3.125"  long like the standard RT-3 and the FTF weighs a tiny bit more than the traditional version.  The pictures below that contain two bars will show the RT-3FTF on the left and the RT-3 on the right for comparison.   This first run of the FTF is laser serial numbered RT-3FTF 001 through RT-3FTF 023 along with the other logos that Mr. Tipton stamped into his bars for so many years.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you!
