DunlopGlass Guitar Slide Medium Wall Short
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Medium-wall glass slide in a short length. Covers a few strings at a time rather than the full neck, so it suits players who fret and slide in the same passage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who switch between fretting and sliding mid-phrase
- Blues lines on two or three strings rather than full chords
- Anyone wanting the smooth, warm attack glass gives
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full six-string slide chords — the short length won't cover them
- Players wanting the extra sustain and grit of metal
- Anyone who drops things on stage; glass breaks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Medium wall
Middle ground on weight. Enough mass to press cleanly without the finger-numbing heft of a thick wall.
Detail 03
Short length
Covers roughly two to three strings. Leaves your other fingers free to fret, but rules out wide slide chords.
Detail 04
Tube shape
Slides over a finger, so fit matters more than any other spec. Too loose and it wobbles off the strings.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your finger — sizing varies and a loose slide is unusable
- 02Higher action helps; low action makes a slide rattle against frets
- 03Glass breaks if dropped on a hard stage floor; carry a spare
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which finger should I wear it on?
Most players use the ring or pinky finger, so the remaining fingers can still fret. Pick whichever leaves you the most usable fingers.
02Glass or metal?
Glass is smoother and warmer with less scraping noise. Metal is brighter with more sustain and more surface noise. This one is glass.
03Do I need to change my setup?
Raising your action helps a lot. Low action lets the slide clatter against the frets. Heavier strings also hold up better under slide pressure.
04Will a short slide work for full chords?
No. Short slides cover two or three strings. For six-string slide chords across the neck you want a longer slide.
