Best Guitar Slides of 2026

"When I slipped these slides on, I was blown away by their top-notch quality and perfect fit for my pinky. Even though I joked about instantly playing like Duane Allman, these bottleneck slides truly feel well-crafted and worth recommending. At this price, I couldn’t be happier!"

"These slides are a great fit for any finger and feel solid in hand. The sound quality is excellent, and the weight feels just right, making them a fantastic addition to my gear."

"I received my order quickly, and the glass slide was well-protected with bubble wrap in a nice case. It looks great, and I’m excited to give it as a gift—will definitely share feedback on how well it performs after some use!"

"I use this slide on both my 6-string acoustic and 3-string cigar box guitars, and it sounds fantastic. The tone is great and it works well for different guitar types."

"I was concerned about getting the right size online, but even though this slide is a bit larger than expected, I was able to make it work. The tone is excellent, and it delivered a great electric guitar solo for me."

"This slide has a great weight and smooth feel. It fits comfortably and sounds amazing on both electric and acoustic guitars. Definitely a must-have for anyone who enjoys playing slide guitar!"

"I really appreciate the solid, smooth feel of this slide—it sits nicely in my hand and gives that classic slide sound on my guitar. As a beginner, I find the weight and finish make it easy to use. Now I just need to put in more practice!"

"This is a great tone bar for lap steel guitar. I like how easy it is to lift, much more comfortable than the straight slides. The included case and both metal and plastic picks are a nice bonus, making it a solid addition to my collection."

"The slide does its job well, and the carry case is handy. However, the finger picks are quite small for my hands, and one of the thumbpicks is a bit stiff. Still, the main slide piece makes this package worthwhile."

"I'm new to playing slide guitar, and for the price, this set offered a nice assortment of slides and a handy case. It gives me a chance to try out different materials. The picks are okay, but the real value is in the slides."

"I got this as a gift for my daughter's boyfriend who's just starting out. For $14.99, it comes with multiple picks and slides in a convenient case, which made it a great value for a beginner learning different slide tones."

"While the set looked promising, my glass slide arrived shattered, which was a letdown. The rest of the items were fine, but I wish the glass had been packaged more securely."

"After using this slide, I’ve found it to be exactly what I ordered and of excellent quality. It lets me keep my finger placement on the strings and still use the slide, which is way less bulky than a traditional slide. Being able to use the slide without losing finger agility is a huge plus for me!"

"The slide ring is a clever idea that really lets me keep playing chords and barre shapes as usual, but I can add slide licks instantly whenever I want. It took me a little time to get the hang of it, but now it fits snugly thanks to the spring mechanism, and I’m able to get both comfort and versatility from it. I highly recommend it if you want to add slide textures to your playing."

"I really wanted this to work for me and I think the design is unique and well made. However, it takes some getting used to, and the sizing can be a bit tricky. I had to try different fingers and may need a size adjustment. Still, the sound is great when it fits right and it’s worth the effort for players who want to experiment with new techniques."

"After spending a year playing Delta blues with a glass slide, I decided to upgrade my setup. Switching to this tapered brass pinky slide was a game changer. The fit is perfect for my thick fingers, and the sound quality improved dramatically—the slide glides effortlessly over the strings, delivering that authentic blues tone. The combination of high action, medium strings, and this heavy slide really brings out the best in my guitar."

"I've tried a ton of slides, including premium ones, but this one blew me away in terms of both value and tone. The flat surface makes full chords in open tunings easy, and the tapered fit is spot on. I mainly use it on my resonator for acoustic blues, and it has become my go-to slide. The price for the quality is incredible."

"As a beginner, I was surprised by how comfortable and secure the tapered interior feels on my pinky. It's heavier than my old glass slide, but that actually helps with control. The sound is richer, and now this brass slide is the one I reach for first."

"I'm new to slide guitar, and this set has made it easy to experiment with different sounds. The slides feel solid and work well, especially the brass one on my electric guitar. The case is perfect for keeping all the small accessories organized. While learning slide is challenging, the kit makes it fun and accessible."

"I bought this set as a gift, and my partner was thrilled! Each slide has a great feel and produces a distinct tone. The quality is excellent, and the whole package makes for an impressive gift at a great price."

"As a beginner, I wanted to try out slide guitar, and this kit was perfect for that. The slides deliver a range of tones and are easy to use. I didn't need all the extra picks, but it's nice to have them around. Overall, it's a solid starter set for anyone curious about slide playing."

"I'm an amateur using a cigar box guitar, and these slides are basic but reliable. The price is great, and both the glass and metal feel just right. While the packaging was simple, everything arrived intact and the sound is exactly what I hoped for."

"After my friend gave me a resonator guitar, I wanted a slide that could nail that swampy, bayou sound—think Louisiana or Florida Everglades style. The metal slide delivers that vibe perfectly and the cost was comfortable for me."

"I was pleased with how quickly these slides arrived and their quality appearance. The sound is excellent, and at this price point, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. If I end up breaking the glass one, replacement won’t break the bank."

"I’m impressed by the recreation of the old medicine bottle design—the fit, finish, and price exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic slide for the money."

"I appreciate how lightweight and thin-walled this slide is; it lets me feel the strings for better control and delivers wonderful tone."

"While the slide works great for my grandson’s guitar playing, we noticed the color in the pictures was smokey gray, but the bottle we received was clear. Still, we kept it since it performed well and was a great value."
