The Rock Slide | Joey Landreth Signature Slides

The Aged Brass version of Joey’s slide is designed to have the sound of a standard brass Rock Slide but with an awesome vibe-heavy look.  Each one is hand-aged with a unique result.  The ageing does not involve sanding, dinging or scuffing; this results in the playing surface being completely smooth with no unwanted scratchiness to the sound or feel.

The Polished Brass version 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 get even more so towards the end of the slide, as it tapers on the inside.  There is also a tone ring at the fingertip that gives additional mass and helps your finger stay securely in place.  This slide really does cut through the mix.

If you opt for the Aged Brass or Polished Brass, either way you are getting a stretched out version of a Rock Slide Small Brass slide.  This not only gives some extra weight but also full string coverage.
