Dunlop Pyrex Glass Slide
now available at
Dunlop Pyrex Glass Slides for a warmer, thicker tone. I have tried a bunch of different slides with my cigar box guitars and this is the best hands down. After five cigar box guitar records and hundreds of shows... this slide is my favorite. It's not too long or too short for a 3 or 4 string cigar box guitar. I hope you find it as useful as I do. You won't catch me without my #218 Dunlop!
