This is a "stubby" 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 1 1/2 inches (38.1 mm) in length (plus or minus 1/8 inch), and the inside diameter is 13/16 in. (0.812 in. / 20.6mm), which will fit over the first knuckle on medium-sized ring fingers. These slides have been carefully buffed and polished to a satin or semi-gloss finish (a mirror finish 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 a bit, but it can easily be buffed and polished back to a nice shine. 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.
