A Glass Slide Designed for Musicality and Expressiveness
The Jim Dunlop 234 Bottlenecks Glass Slide Glass Flare Medium is designed for guitarists who want a smooth feel under the fingers and an immediately musical sound response. The glass provides a softer attack than a metal slide, with remarkable clarity and a beautiful roundness that highlights vibrato, micro-inflections, and long slides. The result: a more singing playing style, perfect for giving your guitar a voice.
"Flare" Comfort: Control, Stability, and More Natural Slides
Its slightly flared structure improves comfort and grip, helping to maintain consistent contact with the strings. This stability facilitates fluid and expressive slides while offering precise control to hit every note accurately. The medium size is suitable both for guitarists new to slide playing and for those seeking a versatile model, effective in both rhythm and lead playing.
