The Rock Slide, now in stock!
I'm proud to welcome a new brand to the Home of Tone family, The Rock Slide! For long time followers of the Home of Tone, you'll know that high quality guitar slides have always been a big thing here. Offering the best glass slides in the world since 2015, with Diamond Bottlenecks!

From a tapered internal diameter, notch cut and finger rest to the cool polished and 'swamp slide' finishes, these are great, weighty brass slides and compliment the best glass slides I already stock with DB!
There are a few variants still on back order, but for now I have a neat selection, including the Joey Landreth signature slide too and you can visit the collection by clicking HERE
