Bring to life the crying vibrato of Robert Johnson, the hard rock wailing of Led Zeppelin or the Eastern-influenced modern slide of Derek Trucks with this small but powerful accessory.
Types of Guitar Slides
Order slide guitar slides from leading brands like Dunlop, MagSlide, D’Addario and Black Mountain. Whether you want to slide on an electric guitar, acoustic or lap guitar, we have several options to produce the perfect sound.
- Glass slides offer a warm tone ideal for ballads, classical guitar and blues.
- Brass and nickel-plated brass slides produce the brightest tone and biggest sustain, making them an excellent modern rock slide.
- Steel and stainless steel slides also have excellent brightness with amazing top end and harmonics for vintage rock.
- Ceramic and porcelain slides offer a halfway between glass and grass, and the glaze can further refine the tone.
- Magnesium slides have strong sustain with a warmer glass-like tone.
You can also choose from several wall thicknesses. Thin guitar slides are easier to control at fast speeds while thick guitar slides offer more sustain and allow for aggressive play. If you can’t decide which slide is best for you, call Strings and Beyond at 877-830-0722 — we’re here to help. Our slide guitar slides qualify for free U.S. shipping on orders over $35.
