DUNLOP 220 Jim Chromed Steel Slide

Engineered for bright, articulate slide tones, the DUNLOP 220 Jim Chromed Steel Slide delivers glassy attack and long sustain across the fretboard. Sized Medium to fit a wide range of players, this chrome-plated steel slide rings true from first note to last, whether you’re dialing in bluesy bends or carving through rock riffs.

Why the DUNLOP 220 Chromed Steel Slide stands out

• Chromed steel construction provides lasting brightness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, so your tone stays punchy night after night.
• Medium size is designed to feel secure and comfortable for a broad spectrum of players, balancing weight and control without fatigue.
• Smooth, beveled edges enable fast transitions and clean fretting, helping you execute quick runs and precise double-stop phrasing with ease.
• Even response across the fretboard supports consistent tone and pitch accuracy, making it easier to shape expressive slides from open voicings to high-wattage solos.
• Versatile tone delivers a bright, cutting attack ideal for electric guitar styles—from blues to rock to country—without losing note clarity on open chords.

Ideal use scenarios

Whether you’re chasing piercing blues licks, shimmering country slides, or grit-forward rock lines, the DUNLOP 220 Chromed Steel Slide gives you a reliable, musical voice. It pairs especially well with open tunings that emphasize string articulation, but its glassy attack also shines on standard tunings for a more biting slide tone on stage or in the studio. Suitable for both electric and acoustic-guitar setups, it’s a dependable choice for players who want a consistent, responsive slide in a medium footprint.

Who this is for

• Players new to slide guitar who want an easy-to-hold, comfortable medium-sized slide that sounds confident out of the box.
• Blues and blues-rock players seeking a bright, slicing slide tone with strong note separation.
• Open-tuning enthusiasts and country players aiming for clear, singing slides without excessive weight.

Care and maintenance

Wipe the slide with a dry cloth after playing to remove oils and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the chrome finish. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the chrome’s brightness and prevent tarnish over time.
