Description

Dunlop Glass Slides are the classic choice for guitarists who want the smooth, vocal sound of glass under the fingers. Whether you are starting your first steps into slide or refining a signature touch, these slides deliver easy gliding movement and singing sustain. They sit happily on electric or acoustic guitars and suit ring finger or little finger use depending on the size you choose. From smoky blues to open tuned folk, country, rock and ambient textures, the response stays warm and lyrical. The balanced feel makes phrasing natural, so vibrato and intonation come together with less effort during practice or performance.

Each slide is made from quality glass with a precise, polished surface that keeps friction low and control high. Rounded ends feel comfortable against the hand while consistent wall thickness helps notes bloom evenly across the strings. Choose medium weight for agility or heavy for extra sustain and a planted touch. Compared with basic starter slides, the finish here is smoother, the mass better judged, and background noise reduced, so your lines speak clearly at low or high volume. The glass voice softens pick attack compared with metal, giving warmth, clarity and a sweet top end that flatters clean or overdriven tones.

Perfect for UK tuition and school ensembles, these slides are simple to size, quick to fit and reliable lesson after lesson. Teachers can keep a few sizes on hand so students find a secure fit without fuss, and the smooth feel helps beginners focus on hand position, intonation and vibrato. They are great value for home practice too, encouraging exploration of open tunings without any guitar adjustments. A quick wipe keeps them ready to share, and they slip neatly into a case pocket. If you need a dependable, musical slide that supports steady progress, Dunlop Glass Slides are a smart choice.
