Bigfoot Custom Guitar Ceramic Slides
I've played lead crystal glass slides for almost my entire slide playing years, over 15 and counting now! But this year I finally got a ceramic slide in my hands that I've enjoyed as much as my much loved glass ones made by the great Diamond Bottlenecks.
These ceramic slides are hand made in Portugal by Marcelo Ribas, a custom guitar and cigar box guitar maker. His ceramic slides are beautifully well finished and are glazed perfectly on the inside as they are on the outside, meaning they're comfortable to use and not rough inside like many ceramic slides out there. They produce a very similar tone to glass, due to the glazing, but are much much lighter. So if you're really into glass tone but find it a little heavy, the Bigfoot Ceramic slides could be just for you!
I spent a couple of months testing my own Bigfoot Ceramic slide here with electric, acoustic and resonator guitars and it really did cut it! Very impressed with playing feel, tone and sustain over other ceramic slides I have tried over the years which didn't get past the 5 minute mark before I stopped using. Marcelo's work is really great, and I'm proud to offer his slides here in the UK for the first time.
