each guitar case for convenience. I already had a Planet Waves Glass Slide and have enjoyed
using it for most of my open tuning blues songs as well as other genre.
-- Stats -------------------------------------
Length: 1-15/16 inch [ 49.2mm ]
Inside Diameter: 5/8 inch [ 15.87mm ]
Outside Diameter: 1 Inch [ 25.4mm ]
The glass slide, more precisely a 'boron silicate' slide, can be worn on my hand, on the pinky and
third fingers, almost to the second knuckle. It fits securely and has never come loose or fallen off.
I can not get the slide on the index or middle fingers and this was expected.
I use a small slide instead of a full length for two reasons. First; I am able to move the small light
glass slide around the fingerboard much faster. It is less cumbersome and lighter than a full length
brass or steel slide. Second; I like the short slide for lead playing and, if need be, can move faster
with more accuracy on the strings. I don't need to unnecessarily mute the other strings that are
not in contact with the slide. I just feel more agile using the smaller slide for lead.
I like the tone of the glass slide on my strings. Generally it sounds more crisp and bright even with
Nickel strings on my electric and Phosphor-bronze on my Resonator. I recommend for those who
have not tried other types of slides to also get a steel slide and a brass slide. Both tones are very
different from the glass, which tends to provide a more clean tone in comparison. Steel can give a
nasty old blues sound and brass has a mellow sound, all things being equal among the three.
I give this slide 5 stars because simply works well. It is nicely polished, there are no sharp edges
anywhere on the slide, and has a smooth inside surface. I have purchased other Planet Waves
items and find their workmanship very good to excellent. I believe this slide will follow in the
footsteps of my other purchases.

NOTE: Want a small slide for your index or middle fingers? Try the Dunlop C218 below.
Dunlop C218 Glass Moonshine, Heavy Wall Thickness, Medium/Short .
It's a little bit small, but not too bad.
It does sound nice on both acoustic and electric guitars.
I'm not really a slide player, but I found this pretty easy to use.
