Fender Steel Slide, Standard Medium (FCSS1)

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025
Perfect length, diameter, and weight for sliding on my resonator guitar in Open D tuning with medium gauge phosphor bronze strings and action that is only slightly high. This slide lets the hi notes sing out and the medium weight and length of it are enough to sound out the bottom low string. I've had trouble with shorter lighter slides because they don't have the mass to make the low string loud enough. This Fender slide is the kind of slide I've searched for since..well, a long time. It fits nicely on my ring finger but I prefer it on my pinky. To make it fit snug I put a few strips of sticky back felt inside. I love that feel and I love the sound I'm getting now.

This product is built to last, great quality and very duty in weight. The size is perfect for my teenage grandson. Great value for the money

Very cheap price, works very well, very light weight and easy to use.Be careful not to get it stuck on your finger, the size is just big enough to sit halfway on my middle finger, I had gotten it stuck in the slide before.

It works, but I've had to learn with my pinky finger rather than index. Oh well, new way to play I guess.What irks me is my inability to resend it for a larger size. Not sure if that's Amazon or Fender, but either way I'm stuck with it.

Nice quality steel. There is no slight roughness to the surface like some slides, which I will add with a piece of sandpaper. Experienced slide players will know what I'm talking about. Only problem is it's a little small. I use my average size pinky for slide, and this is even a little small for my pinky. You might want to order a bigger size.

Be warrned, I'm an adult male, with average sized hands and the only finger it fits well is my pinky. That aside, it's a good slide for the money, I'm just starting out learning slide guitar, so I'll make do and see if I need a larger one in the future. It's nice and smooth with machined edges. I'm excited to start learning how to use it.

I bought several glass slides before I found one that fit properly and still didn't like it all that much. It was tight fitting but worked. The brass one fit very well albeit a bit heavy but definitely sounds better and easier to use.Glass for my ears was a bit too sharp on the notes where as the brass actually sounded great in comparison. It's also large enough I can slip it off my finger quickly with very little effort. Very highly polished and unique metal mix so it doesn't tarnish easily and hasn't for me at all yet. Tone and sound wise I would definitely recommend brass over glass any day! Not just because of the fit and fee but mostly the sound.Using a slide takes a while to get used to also so be patient. Getting your own technique takes practice but will pay off at some point and get you that sound!

Qualidade inegável! O tamanho ficou largo para o meu filho de 16 anos. Mas preferi não devolver, pois acredito dentro de pouco tempo vai servir.

Been meaning to learn some slide techniques but keep losing the cheapies I’ve bought over the years. This one also leans on the cheaper side, but I trust the Fender name and decided to give this a chance.It’s exactly what it says on the tin (plastic?): a slide. It’s not very weighty, as one should expect at this price point, but it’s solid. Could likely take being thrown around a gig bag for a good while without showing any notable wear. As for how it sounds? Pretty good, any inconsistencies in sound are definitely user error.

Único contra q eu tenho é q o diâmetro interno dele é mto largo pro meu dedo, mas isso aí dá pra resolver fácil. Fora isso é um ótimo slide, tem mto sustain.

Bought this for my 17 y/o son. Here’s his testimonial: “I like it and it works.” That’s about as much as a 17 yr old boy will admit to liking something. I consider that a win.
