Moulded Glass Rock Slides are individually hand moulded
by master lampworkers. These have all the same features as our brass
Rock Slide® with the Knuckle Cut, Finger Rest and Tapered Interior.
These fit almost exactly like their brass counterpart but are slightly
longer. The main difference being that they are much lighter &
faster so you can really cook with these on an electric guitar. Because
of our unique tapered interior design they do have enough mass to light
up your acoustic.
The Rock Slide Difference Problem 1:
Slides tend to go two ways, they feel like a cast in the way they
restrict your finger, or they have too much wiggle room forcing you to
cramp your fingers all night to keep the slide from falling off.
It’s either thin & comfortable, but has no tone – or – it is a bulky slide that sounds good, but is cumbersome.
No matter what slide you buy, it wobbles. Sure, it’s snug at the 2nd knuckle, but loose across the rest of the finger.
Don’t cut, carve the perfect slide! We made a slide
that tapers inside to maintain a snug feel all the way down your finger.
The added benefit is thicker walls for extra weight and sustain. A
cutaway at the second knuckle helps maintain finger bendability and
prevents pinching. Lastly, the flat finger rest is more stable than
resting on a round surface.
LARGE ROCK SLIDES are one of the heaviest on the scene. This makes for
killer sustain on the thickest of string gauges and a down-right dark
sound.
The Moulded Glass Rock Slide also has very thick walls because of the internal taper, in fact, the walls at the opening are 4mm and 6-8mm thick at the fingertip end. That’s about twice the thickness of a typical heavy wall glass slide at the end. A baseball bat has a sweet spot for hitting a home run, The Rock Slide® has a sweet spot too. While it is thick enough everywhere to light up the strings, the extra thick end almost acts as a gain knob which helps bring out the low notes, and makes for killer lead playing.
