A great toy for your guitar
Unpacked it in the evening. Wanted to give it a slide or two on my guitar and suddenly, it was 3 am. It gives that great "western" sound and it fits my large fingers perfectly.

I've tried many, but this one sounds and fits best if you have long fingers like me.
Ring size 11-13
I'm a bassplayer with big hands who picked up playing slide guitar recently.
Most of the slides (Fender M, HB, Dunlop...) were too narrow for my fingers, the Dunlop Bottle neck slide on the other hand was so wide and weirdly shaped that It was almost impossible to control while sliding.
After trying at least 5 totally different types and sizes of slides (Thanks to Thomann's awesmme return policy!) I ended up with this one and it just "felt right" the moment I tried it.
If like me you have fingers with a diameter of around 20mm at the knuckle then this slide will fit you just perfect.
The sound is also significantly better than the metal and brass slides I tried and it's very lightweight and easy to move around compared to those other slides.
I can't recommend these enough! 😉

Nice Slide, but not of Superb Quality
This slide is of decent quality, but I did expect something a little more polished from Fender. It's unbranded and nothing, that I can see, sets apart from other inexpensive glass slides I've seen elsewhere.
I ordered a large slide based on other reviews because I have relatively large fingers. Unfortunately I find it too big! The fit is not as snug as I would have liked. I'll be getting a medium one instead with my next order. For reference, my middle finger is 7cm in diameter at the second joint.
Sound wise it's lovely. It produces a lovely airy, liquid tone, which I personally prefer over the sound of a metal slide.
If you're worried about the size, perhaps buy one of each to test them and return, sell or give away the one you don't need. The reviews here offer different opinions on sizing and this appear to be the kind of product you really need to test before settling on!

Solid slide
Good and solid slide, just a little thin and difficult for people with fat old sausage fingers like me.

I 've already bought the medium one but I wanted to test the larger size.
Now I have both I still can't decide which one has the better fitment :p
It is durable and nice sounding and for the price totally recommended!

Superb!
Great sounding slide made by Fender.
I've tried other brands but always come back to this simple Fender slide. For me it works best on Electric as I prefer a metal slide for acoustic.
The normal great service by Thomann makes this a great buy if your looking for a great slide.

Solid slide
Large enough for my fingers, with a good melow sound to it. The finish arround one of the edges could be a little bit smoother.
