I'd suggest going with cheep cotton tape, no shellac, in the "bar discernment" stage (for me it was a couple of years before I found bar heaven, but I'm a slow learner and tried every variation of adjustment with each bar to be sure I wasn't just a tweak away). It's inexpensive, so I didn't feel bad about swapping things out, or spending lots of labor getting it on there, etc. Once you have the bars dialed in, then go for your bar clothing of choice. And who knows, you may find you love unfinished cotton. I get two+ years out of mine now before adding a layer, and someday I'll have too many layers and cut it all off and start again. Yes, it's uglier than shellac, but the feel is far better for me.
