SatinTone Polished Metal Guitar Slides - Handmade in the USA - Choose Size & Metal

Add some SATIN to your slide guitar tone! These polished copper and brass guitar slides are light and thin-walled, perfect for fast and fearsome screaming rock and blues leads on your guitar or cigar box guitar!

The stubby version is 1 1/2 inches in length and the full-size 2 1/4 inches (still somewhat shorter than a conventional 6-string guitar slide) in length, with possible slight variance in length due to them being hand-crafted one at a time here in the C. B. Gitty workshop. 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 (see below) to size it to fit.

We make these slides by hand out of real copper pipes (the same kind that carry water through houses), as well as brass tubing! These slides have been carefully buffed and polished to semi-gloss satin finish (hence the name), with a special metal polishing compound that leaves behind a protective film. However, with use and wear this natural metal will dull and tarnish - but it is easily buffed and polished back to a nice shine using a number of old metal 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.
