The copperslide™ for Guitar
Playing slide guitar creates a unique sound. Often times it requires a number of different slides to get the right sound for the right song. Our Copper Slides are essential for the slide guitar player. Add one to your collection today!
Why Copper?
- It has a distinct sound all to itself. Until you have the opportunity to play guitar with a copper slide, you may have a hard time understanding the difference and uniqueness in the sound.
- The copperslide™ also allows for much more control while playing. The slides are light and not bulky whatsoever. The walls of the slide are not overly thick. This allows for much more control. The copper slide maintains weight, control and balance while playing.
- The characteristics of copper as a metal bring different nuances in various shades of color. Copper slides can have a shining, bright and brilliant appearance. They can also have the weathered, oxidized look as if found in a deserted crossroad somewhere back in time.
The Sound
