Your cart is empty.This is a polished copper guitar slide, perfect for grinding out some gritty old blues on your slide guitar, cigar box guitar, lap steel or whatever you like to play with a slide. The slide is 2 1/4 inches in length (plus or minus 1/8 inch), and the inside diameter is 13/16" (.812"), which will fit over the first knuckle on medium-sized ring fingers, and up to the first knuckle on larger fingers. If you have a very large ring finger, these might be a bit too snug.! If you wear the slide on your little finger, you can always use the piece of included moleskin to size it to fit. These slides have been carefully buffed and polished to a nice shine (though not a flawless mirror finish - it would just get scuffed by the strings anyway when playing), with a special metal polishing compound that leaves behind a protective film. However, with use and wear this natural copper will dull and tarnish - but it is easily buffed and polished back to a nice shine using a number of old copper-polishing folk methods. The ends of this slide have been carefully smoothed and polished as well to make sure playing with them is a comfortable experience for the user. We include a square of self-adhesive faux moleskin with each of these slides for use in sizing the inside of the slide to your finger. This along with our glass vial slide makes a nice set to give you an idea of the range of tones and sounds that are possible with different slide materials.

The slide is flawless and re-creates the sound of "Bad to the Bone" very well! The item had a shipping issue that was most likely due to an error of USPS and never arrived. Working with the seller, they had no problem immediately sending another which arrived without issue. Thank you!

Slides come in many styles this is a polished copper slide ala George Thorogood. It came fast, no sharp edges , and fit just right. You can’t go wrong.

The slide was OK, just too small to fit my fingers.

Arrived earlier than expected :) Lovely sound. I tend to think my fingers are a bit on the wide side and this fits perfectly on every finger. I've had brass slides before. Sounds great as copper as well.

Just a piece of copper tubing, but I couldn't find this diameter from any suppliers. If the size works for you, it arrived quickly and at the price it isn't worth the hassle of looking elsewhere.
