Man, I ]m just so particular...really need to feel it fit before I buy one...so finding any place that sells a FULL compliment of slides is impossible. even specialty guitar places around LA only have the standard Dunlop limited selection, I even see what I think I'm looking for in photos of their slides, but can't find one even on their website that measures at 1.5" thick wall... bumming. My main shortest slide i have is a 218 (213?) Dunlop --- but it has etches in it and scrape the strings pretty bad...I may need to find a local glass blower to make me one....seems dumb since I know my perfect slide must exist on a shelf already somewhere! I'll keep looking...just dont' want to order one through the mail only to find it doesn't fit and have to send ti back etc.

Thanks all! I think I'll try Willy's Slides first...I'm so oddly particular i usually customize everything anyway. So Willy's sounds good. Happy New Year!

I like Willy's slides, advertised right here on the nation. My momma say God heps them who heps themselves.
