JSA Cu72 “The Bell” Copper Aluminum, Resonant Guitar Slide (US Ring Size 7)

Description

This lightweight, 60mm (2.36in.) guitar slide features a copper shell over a short ⅝” aluminum sleeve, with an additional polymer lining that extends just short of the slide’s length to reduce the inside diameter and accommodate the player’s finger.
The copper shell offers a look and sound comparable to brass, but the Cu72 is designed to be brighter and more resonant than other slides. The short, ⅝” aluminum sleeve keeps the polymer liner/the player’s finger separate from 1-¾” of the slides’s surface, which reduces muting, thus allowing the surface to resonate more freely.
The Cu72 is a generous mix of comfort, sustain, and maneuverability; its copper finish will form a rich patina as it is polished by steel strings and then tarnished over time. Whether it slides down the fretboard of an electric or acoustic guitar, steel or nylon strings, the Cu72 will offer years of versatile sounds ranging from gritty, delta blues to warm country tones and subtle twang.
Your slide will ship out shiny and polished, but over time the finish will darken and develop an appearance somewhere between pictures one and two and picture eight. The copper shell is meant to tarnish and will remain in a consistent state of change throughout its lifetime. As you play, small markings will develop along the surface of the slide, which will in turn tarnish and add depth to the emerging patina.
You will find that the more you play, the more dramatically the slide's surface will be affected—the appearance of its finish will be directly related to your own playing style and therefore unique to you.
