Much More Than the Average Slide

The Aged Brass Rock Slide is designed and carefully crafted with your needs as a player taken into careful consideration. The Rock Slide is simply unmatched in comfort, thanks to the design's contoured finger rest and knuckle cutaway. And the slide's tapered interior ensures a uniform fit along your whole finger, adding stability and control to your slide performances. The slide's aged brass material is legendary for its gritty feel and cutting sustain, making your passages jump out.

Aged Brass

The Aged Brass Rock Slide is the one that started it all with the look of a well-worn tool. Brass imparts your tone with a cutting sound. And the rough surface of the aged brass adds a bit of drag and grit while traveling across the strings. The fact that it is also denser than glass and adds great sustain makes it a popular choice among the rock and blues slide players here at Sweetwater. Want to know what a great metal slide sounds like? Give players like blues slide guru Johnny Winter a listen.

Feature packed

Place a Rock Slide on your finger, and you'll know why the company makes sure you know it's "Not just a piece of pipe!" Rock Slides are quickly gaining in popularity with players thanks to some carefully considered features. The interior of the slide is tapered throughout, giving your finger the same controlled fit at your fingertip as you have at the base of your knuckle. The finger rest contoured into the side of the slide is surprisingly ergonomic. And the Rock Slide Aged Brass slide's knuckle cutaway keeps the slide positioned correctly on your finger at all times.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Slide
The only one that fit properly. Works well. Desired performance

Good product
Fantastic slide!
As I set out to learn how to play slide, I knew that choice of material would be important. I ordered an assortment of quality slides through my Sweetwater rep, Cody Kraus. Cody is a great guy and always treats me like I'm his only customer. One of the slides I ordered was the Rock Slide Aged Brass Slide. I'd always found brass to be overly bright and didn't think I'd like the sound, but i ordered it, anyway, just to have some options and also because of the extremely well-thought out design of Rock Slides. I was amazed at the tone this slide produced! Bright, but fat and warm...possibly due to the aging. All I know is that I love the sound of it and it fits my fat fingers, perfectly. I ordered the Moulded Glass Rock Slide, as well, and, it too, is an outstanding piece with wonderful tone and function. I'm far beyond happy with these slides! Thank you to Rock Slides for doing it right and thank you to Cody Kraus and Sweetwater for the killer service!

hand surgery
I play and perform on guitar. I had Dupturens Contracture surgey in February, 2022mostly involving my left pinkioe and left pointer fingers. There is thick pile of scar tissue at the base of my left pinkie where I used to wear my slide. I bought about 8 slides to find one that didn't hurt to use. Unfortunately, this one is still too small to fit over the lumps and scar tissue on my pinkie and does hurt to use.
Music background: I've beem playing guitar since I was 13 and come from a family with four professional musicians in it.
