DunlopJoe Perry Boneyard Signature Guitar Slide Medium/Short
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Brass slide with a rounded profile, sized on the shorter end. For blues and rock players who want warmth and sustain over glassy attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Slide players who want thick, warm sustain from a metal slide
- Covering two or three strings at a time, not full six-string chords
- Players with smaller fingers who find long slides unwieldy
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting the bright, glassy voice of glass
- Anyone needing full six-string coverage across a wide neck
- Fingers larger than a ring size 9 in the long version
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
Ring size 5-3/8 on the smallest
Runs small. Measure your pinky or ring finger before ordering, since a loose slide rattles and clanks.
Detail 03
Metal slide construction
More mass on the string than glass, so notes ring longer and hit darker rather than glassy.
Detail 04
Three size options up to 19mm x 31mm x 71mm
The larger sizes cover more strings and fit thicker fingers. The 71mm version reaches nearly all six.
Detail 05
Rounded wall profile
Contacts the strings at a single point, so intonation depends on placing it directly over the fret wire.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Slides are sized by finger, not by hand. Check a ring sizer first.
- 02Higher action and heavier strings make slide playing cleaner. Expect a setup change.
- 03Nothing else is included. One slide, no case or sizing kit.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What finger does a slide go on?
Most players use the ring finger or pinky, which leaves the other fingers free to fret and mute behind the slide. Pinky gives more freedom, ring finger gives more control.
02Should it fit tight or loose?
Snug enough that it does not slide off or rattle when you tilt your hand, loose enough to get on and off. Too loose is the more common mistake.
03What is the difference between the three sizes?
Length changes how many strings you can cover, diameter changes which finger it fits. The 51mm short covers two to four strings, the 71mm long reaches nearly all six.
04Do I need a different guitar setup for slide?
Not required, but raising the action reduces fret buzz and makes slide notes cleaner. Many players keep a dedicated guitar set higher for slide work.
