The Rock Slide | Nathaniel Murphy Signature Slides
Versatile Options - Versatile Player
The Rock Slide make two signature slides for the amazing guitarist Nathaniel Murphy. The first is a modified version of their small Moulded Glass size in a custom finish named 'Manchester Fog'; a nod to his English city home base. The Moulded Glass Rock Slides feature all the great design elements that made the original brass Rock Slides so popular, such as a knuckle cutaway, finger rest and a unique tapered interior. At the opening the walls are 4mm thick and by the end of the slide, where the fingertip needs additional grip and mass, they are 6-8mm. These thick walls are around double what you would find on a typical glass bottleneck slide. The overall thickness of the slide will get the strings singing, whilst the thick tip can act as a boost to help bring out low notes and lead lines. As with the other glass slides in the Rock Slide range, these slides are hand-moulded by expert lampworkers. Even though they are a little longer than the brass Rock Slides, they are both lighter and faster, making them an excellent choice for electric guitarists. Please note that with their reduced mass, these slides are not intended for use on acoustic guitars.
The second is a modified version of the small Polished Brass slide. Nathaniel's version features a large section of the tip removed, reducing the size to 1.5" with a 1" playing surface. This frees up the ring-finger tip for standard fretwork whilst being able to throw slide licks in at will. The Polished Brass finish gives a rich, warm tone and a golden glow in the looks department. The Rock Slide Polished Brass slides are effectively one solid brass rod that has been carved by a CNC machine to fit your finger. The brass formula that they use is very heavy to give excellent tone and sustain. The walls of the slide are generously thick and with its design innovations it is also extremely comfortable. A fantastic slide.
