Perfect for me!
Jessie JJ 02.01.2018
Great piece of accessory for any guitar player. Because this pack features a long slide as well as a slightly shorter one it's very usefull for a lot of different styles. I had been looking for the middle/short type slide for a while, because most short slides are approx. 25mm, the short one in this set is 40mm wich is perfect for me to use as a pinky slide. They might be a bit wide if you have small hands but other than that a great product, the chrome finish seems very durable!

Great slides
Seanovan 28.07.2022
I had yet to find slides that fit my hand AND glide smoothly across the strings. These ones did the trick. I used the smaller slide at a recent gig, and I have to say, I was impressed. I play more of a Duane Allman style slide guitar, so this made it a lot easier.

I would highly recommend these to any slide player of any skill. The larger one is a great starting point to familiarize a player with the technique, while the smaller one may require more intermediate or advanced knowledge. Whatever you choose, you won’t be sorry.

Nice set

Good overall sound, requires proper strings, hard to slide for example on the Resoking BK provided strings.

Everything 99% of the people will need

They are well made metal tubes, I really can´t go in much detail since the product is not very complex. I think, for most people who don´t professionally play music or players who aren´t only focused on slide guitar, this is excellent. If you are just going to use them from time to time or for some songs it´s a great thing to have, really does add something different to your playing.

If I have to get picky on my personal experience, I would say the large one is a little bit too large for my middle finger and the little one a bit to short to cover all the strings. Also, they feel a bit broad, so unless your fingers are thick, the slider might wiggle in your finger. But again, I guess it depends on your finger width. I can say that the large one is a bit longer than the width of the neck board on most of my guitars, maybe it can help you visualize it better.

good quality, watch out for size
Anonymous 13.02.2017
Bought these to have a bit of fun with a Harley Benton tele and I can't really complain about the quality. Both are a big too wide for my fingers, but mine are rather slim. The second slide is also too short for my taste, but again, it's nothing wrong with the items, just a matter of preference. I had a chance to compare them with similar products from Fender and Dunlop, and the quality is similar. So yeah, you get better bang for the buck. Just make sure you know what size do you need and go for something else if you have short, slim fingers like me :)

Ok, but not totally my thing
BramsC 27.05.2021
I wanted to start playing bottleneck blues, but there's just something that doesn't really work for me with these slides. I have one in glass now that fits better and I don't really use these metal ones. Still, they are of good quality, but a bit on the narrow side for me.

Great to bring around outdoors and during travel
Leon Eugene L. 12.03.2021
These guitar accesories are notably suited for a rarely-learned blues technique. Long years of practice with the slides and their durability and quality are positive aspects of this purchase. As a beginner, I have nothing ahead but practice and enjoyment.

Awesome slides! for BIG guys and girls!
Anonymous 08.01.2016
I really loved that it comes with two different slides.

My hands are big, so it fits really well on my fingers.

I have already a "Dunlop" glass slide, but I wanted something more durable!


Small price - for great product - for Big hands!

There is 1 in 100 chance...

...t that if you buy those for experimentation you will use them on an ongoing basis in your music. But what if you do? It's not a big price to find out.

Works well
general_dög 22.02.2018
If you don't care for brand names just get these. They quality is similar and can rival bigger names. Would recommend to anyone who never tried to play with a slide and want to save money.

However if you have smaller hands they will feel loose.
