2 Pieces Glass Slide and Stainless Steel Slide in Box for Guitar, Bass, Medium (6 cm)

Little finger size bottlenecks - a bit thinner-walled than my preference, but not to the point of being fragile, and at this price? in a neat little metal box? Love it!

All the above items = value for money

Very nice quality slides neatly packed in paper and bubble wrap inside the perfect size silver tin, all arrived safely in pristine condition. They both fit my pinky and ring finger only which is just fine by me.

Great Metal and Glass Slider Set for Guitars . Both Metal and Glass. Many hours of fun in playing my guitars with them, and developing my guitar music. Prompt delivery. Thank you.

these arrived in a nice metal storage tin, trouble is they only just fit in the tin, so while there was packing above and below them, the ends were not protected and the glass one arrived with one end chipped, which later developed into a crack rendering it unusable. Other than that they were fine and while the tin is a fiddle for them, the tin is ideal for picks. The seller quickly replaced these free of charge after seeing my feedback, so I have changed my review to five stars.

Disappointing. Sold as a metal and a glass version of the same size. They were radically different sizes

The original blues players in the Mississippi Delta area cut the neck off a beer bottle and inserted the little finger of the left hand into the bottleneck to use as a slide on their guitar strings. In more modern times, you can buy this product – or similar – to do the same job. For the asking price, these bottleneck slides are OK. There’s a trad glass slide and an unbreakable steel one as an alternative: they do basically the same thing but the sound tone from each is subtly different (the sound of the guitar however will make more of a difference than the slide material). NB the amazon listing shows a photo of the slide being mounted on the index finger: this is incorrect. The little finger - or occasionally the ring finger – is generally used, and usually just the end-joint, as otherwise your other fingers will get in the way. Try it and you’ll soon discover this is the best way. Slides are also used in country music and other styles. If you’re new to the technique you’ll need to learn to use open tunings, as the standard guitar tuning won’t sound right. Fortunately in my case my finger is the right size to fit snugly into these bottlenecks. If your finger is small you can probably grip by tensioning your joints inside the bottleneck so it doesn’t slip off. However if your finger is too wide you’ll need to find a different bottleneck slide; a wide choice of options is available.

I usually cant be bothered leaving reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised with this product. For the price it is fantastic. I have pretty big fingers and these fit snug on my fingers and are comfortable. Seen pictures of broken ones, but mine came in perfect condition and the little metal box they came in is also in perfect condition. The metal one gives a nice twangy, country sound, whereas the glass one is more of a smooth blues sound. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to give slides a go.
