Ergonomic Open Bottleneck (Solid Brass)

Want to give a true blues color to your playing without sacrificing comfort?

This open solid brass bottleneck reinvents the slide experience. Its semi-open design is a true liberation for your fingers: it allows you to bend your phalanx freely while ensuring surgical control over the fretboard.

No more feeling like your finger is stuck in a rigid tube; you maintain perfect mobility to alternate traditional chords and bottleneck flourishes.

Sound-wise, brass works wonders. It delivers a powerful sustain and formidable warmth, perfect for making your acoustic guitar weep or saturating a tube amp.

To ensure a custom fit, it comes with two ABS adapter rings. It thus precisely fits the morphology of your finger, preventing unwanted slips while you play.

Remarkable precision for fluid and controlled slides.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this bottleneck truly solid brass or just plated?

A: It is indeed solid brass. This is what gives it its ideal weight for pressing the strings with just the right amount of pressure, and that particular grain, much warmer and more resonant than glass or steel.

Q: Are the plastic adapter rings likely to wear out or fall off?

A: No, they are molded from robust ABS plastic to fit firmly into the base of the cylinder. Once the 19mm or 20mm ring is inserted according to your finger size, the assembly remains perfectly secure, even during rapid movements on the fretboard.

Q: Is brass suitable for playing on an acoustic with heavy gauge strings?

A: Absolutely. The natural weight of brass is a huge advantage for making heavy gauges sing on an acoustic guitar or dobro. It brings out the lows and extends the note (sustain) much better than a bottleneck that is too light.

Q: Which finger should I place it on since it’s open?

A: The vast majority of guitarists wear it on their ring finger or pinky. The trick with the opening is to place it at the joints (the bend of the finger). This gives you more comfort and leaves your other fingers free to fret the strings normally.
