Description
The Chord LGS25 is a guitar slide made from chrome plated steel, giving you a smooth surface to run across the strings. At 25mm long, it sits comfortably over most fingers and gives you enough length to cover the strings you need for slide playing. It works on both electric and acoustic guitars.
We finish the tube with a highly polished surface, which helps it move cleanly along the strings without catching. The steel body has a bit of weight to it, and that weight is part of why steel slides give a bright, cutting tone. If you have played with a glass slide before, you will notice steel tends to sound a little sharper and more direct, so it suits blues, rock and country styles well.
This is a straightforward tube design worn on the finger, most often the ring or little finger, though it comes down to what feels right for your hand and how you fret. In American usage you may see the same item called a bottleneck, a term that comes from the early days when players used the neck of a glass bottle. The LGS25 keeps things simple: one solid piece of chrome plated steel that does the job and holds up to regular use.
