The Dunlop 223 Brass Knuckle Slide offers a unique approach to slide guitar by providing the tone and sustain of brass while allowing greater freedom of movement than a traditional full-finger slide. Designed to fit across two fingers, this innovative slide gives players the ability to switch easily between conventional fretting and slide techniques.
Made from solid brass, the 223 produces a bright, cutting tone with strong sustain and excellent note definition. Its compact design makes it especially appealing to players who want slide capability without sacrificing flexibility during performance.
Unlike traditional bottleneck slides that occupy an entire finger, the Knuckle Slide rests across the middle joints of two fingers. This design leaves fingertips available for fretting notes and chords, opening up creative possibilities for players who blend slide techniques into their regular playing style.
Brass slides are known for their powerful attack, enhanced sustain, and focused projection. Many players prefer brass when they want notes to cut through a mix with clarity and authority. The Dunlop 223 delivers those tonal benefits while offering a distinctive playing experience.
The Knuckle Slide is a favorite among guitarists who incorporate slide passages into blues, rock, country, roots, and experimental styles. Its design encourages seamless transitions between standard fretting and slide playing without the need to remove the slide during a performance.
