There are a variety of guitar slides on the market including polished porcelain, brass, anodized aluminum and chromed steel; however, many professional players favor glass. Dunlop Manufacturing Inc. makes a popular tempered glass guitar slide, model number 212, that can be used for either electric or acoustic playing.

Dunlop’s 212 Glass Slide is Suitable for Acoustic or Electric Playing

Dunlop’s tempered 212 “Heavy/Small Short” glass guitar slide, made of boron silicate in the United States, can be used for either acoustic or electric guitar playing. The 212 glass slide, tonally consistent on acoustic instruments, resophonic and otherwise, is often the first choice for electric guitar players, attributable to the pure tone it provides when the music is amplified.

According to Dunlop, “Tempered glass slides are preferred for full, rich tones. They sound warmer and more resonant than metal slides, producing smooth transitions with minimal string noise.”
