Since the 1920s, guitarists have used slides to create the deep vibratos synonymous with early blues music, and later, more mainstream electric rock. Bottleneck slides, popularized in the Mississippi Delta, produce a warm, rich tone and, once mastered, can create glissandos both haunting and beautiful, reminiscent of the human voice.

Handcrafted by artisan Terry Murphy in Hamilton, New York, these custom bottleneck slides allow the musician to experiment with tone and pitch to create a sound uniquely his own. Every slide is etched from a recycled glass bottle then polished by hand for a smooth, safe edge. Because each slide is unique, players will experience subtle differences in sustain, timbre, and loudness. Discover your sound today.
