4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, not to be worn for long time, May 3, 2009

This review is from: Jim Dunlop 218 Bottleneck Slide-Hvy Short (Electronics)

I play the slide on a 12-string acoustic guitar in standard tuning.
This one enhances the highs, but less than a metal one.
Theoretically, it could be worn during the whole song because it is light-weight but if the room is warm or you are playing hard the finger gets wet and the slide cannot be managed easily while skipping from chords to slide phrasing.
If you have a slide-holder on stage and you are fast in wearing the slide everything will be fine.
