  A. GLASS SLIDES:

Glass is a material that has been used for guitar slides since the very beginning. Nothing beats glass for high-end overtones and a clean but very emotionally resonant sound. Take your pick from recycled wine bottle necks to the premium hand-blown glass.
 
     
 
Glass Bottle Neck Guitar Slide
From real wine bottles for that authentic glass slide sound
Double Cut Glass Bottle Neck Guitar Slide
Made from real wine bottles, with the bottle-mouth cut-out, leaving you with a clean, cylindrical slide.
Hand Blown Glass
This premium slide gives you the sweetest and the most poignant sound a slide can produce. A serious slide player should not be without this model.
 
     
  B. PORCELAIN SLIDES

Porcelain is the most flexible medium for making guitar slides. They can be made in any shape and any surface characteristic, from rough to silky smooth and from Open End to Dome End. The latter is handy for tipping and a little extra weight on the base strings. Porcelain slides generally give a liquid, sweet and natural sound.
 
     
 
Porcelain Red Neck Queen Bee
This is one of Big Heart's most popular designs. The Red Neck is simply magic! It is created with four layers of glaze over an ebony porcelain base. The result is excellent tone and extremely quiet action.
Porcelain Boney Finger-Open
This model is the personal favourite of Big Heart Slide creator, Luther Tatum. Ideally suited for more advanced slide players who want to experiment with sound and control, this is an effect slide like no other.

This very special slide was originally created for nylon string classical guitar. Then he discovered that it can replicate the sound of raw bone slides used by many of the early great Blues slide players like Fred McDowell. The Boney Fingers unique surface gives it an unequalled dynamic range and a capacity to go from tiger-fierce to butterfly-gentle like no other slide in the world.

Like a fine Violin bow, they take time to learn to use. But for the serious player, the Boney Finger can get you to where you only dreamt of before.
Porcelain Big Heart - Deep Black
These slides were built for comfort, a flexible sound and a great fit to any guitar neck. The Heart Shape gives each side THREE different PLAYING ARCHS - regular, wide and knife-edge - that allow you to get just the sound and feel you are looking for. This is a great model for strong chordal slides and behind-the-slide playing.
 
     
 
C. Robert Johnson Guitar Slide
The Robert Johnson Legacy Slides are made of cast red bronze and have .133" thick walls with a length of 2.25". No player in the history of Blues is more respected for his depth of feeling and musicianship than Robert Johnson. Each slide is hand-polished to give you the sound heard on his incredible recordings. This slide comes with its own leather carrying pouch.
 
     
 
D. Big Heart Leather Slide Pouch
This is the perfect carrying case for these wonderful slides. The genuine leather material will definitely last you a long, long time.
