I just wanted to thank you again for this amazing slide. Its incredible that such a simple modification to the slide could make it so much more comfortable and easy to use. Not only does it relieve that nagging pressure that the other "Jurassic" slides impose on your digits after a set or two, but it sounds better. Damn!! The ROCK SLIDE makes me play like Ry Cooder(OK, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration) Thanx |

I'm the lead/slide guitarist for FOGHAT and I have a little story to tell you. I returned from Philly where we are rehearsing for our upcoming tour. While setting up my rig I spy this gold glint on a nearby table. I ask Craig our bassist, "who's slide is that?" ... and he tells me the guitarist in his teenage son's band just picked it up at a local store. Now I have used a glass slide for 20 years. I love the sound of brass but the brass slides I have tried have been heavy, unwieldy things that wobbled around on my finger and nicked up my frets ... well you know. I picked up your slide, put it on and all I can say is ... WOW ... you know that rare feeling you get when you pick up the PERFECT guitar ... well In 10 seconds the giant box of glass slides I own have become knick-knacks .... and the TONE .... man I have another low octave of sweet harmonics now that just blew me away. My band mates looked at me and said what is that ... it sounds awesome. When a drummer notices your tone you've got something going on. I went to the local store to buy them out and they only had a couple so I'll be calling in for more. All this is to say I haven't been this excited about a piece of gear in years and I would honored to be added to your artist users page if you have the room. Thanks for making someone who plays slide for 60% of every concert a very happy man. I can't wait to hit the road with your slide.

In 30 years of playing slide guitar, it's hard to imagine that just a slight change could make such a difference. Completely revolutionary... A must have! |

"I just received my Rock Slide and man ... IT ROCKS !
Congratulations ! You made an awesome slide ! I don`t even call it a slide, it`s a brand new product. It`s the evolution of slides. I have a lot of other slides and they don`t even come close to these." |

The Rock Slide is the most versatile slide I have ever owned. The side with the cut out makes it easy to bend the finger to hit notes more prosaically when playing melodic phrases,then you just flip it around for your old school feel and wailing Blues chords. When you pick up a Rock Slide, you can tell you picked up something that was well-made, that is going to last, and feels like it has tone. Not to mention the rustic and vintage look of the aged line of Swamp Slides is too cool |

"Butter knife, socket, and countless broken bottlenecks led me to find my soul-mate with The RockSlide. Its weight is perfect for any string height and its design allows for total control so you always fall on the money. If you are looking for something to take your slide playing, tone, and feel to the next level, I believe you just found it."

"There are two kinds of guitar slides - the Rock Slide by Songhurst Guitars, and, well, everything else. You can either spend your money on a little sawed off piece of metal pipe, or you can invest in a true slide which was designed with both musicality and functionality in mind. The Rock Slide showed me what I had been missing for all these years and didn't even know it. If you play guitar but don't play any slide, perhaps it is because you have never tried the real thing." |

I'm writing because I'm so impressed by the design of the Rock Slide, I've been singing it's praises at the store I work at. I think this is a genius product. |

Hi Mark, I have been trying the slide, it's awesome. I could never quite get other slides to work well. This one feels very natural, like a part of the hand. Thanks! |

I've been using the RockSlide for just over a year now and haven't looked back. They're comfortable, easy to use and sound great. They are the only slide I use and they are perfect for live and studio work. |

Mark,
The rockslide is the best fitting most comfortable and killer sounding slide ever. A year and a half ago I had a stroke and it made my left hand so weak I couldnt fret the guitar anymore. (even with the lightest strings) I never give up so I tried learning slide-bottleneck guitar. I was about to think I would never be good again. None of the other slides fit right or sounded good to me. I purchased your small and medium Brass slides and my problems were over. I have more control and great tone and sustain. Im back playing blues and rockin ala "Duane".
Thanks for a great product! Simply the Best! |

Anybody into the new Rock Slide, ring-finger size, as much as I am? I just got one for use on the pinky finger, and prefer it's larger size because the added length covers all six strings and the larger diameter has a fatter tone. By the way, I found that when my older brass pinky slides tarnish, they don't look as shiny, but they sound better--I think the oxidation yields miniscule irregularities on the surface that add some vibe to the tone. As they age, I find that the tonal differences between the chrome and brass slides increase, so I'm glad I have both. |

"Not just a piece of pipe" Wow, what an under statement. I've got a drawer full of slides from trying to find one that works and fits too. The "Rock Slide" fits perfect and the added feature of the anti rolling flat is a welcome feature. Great job. Everybody should own one that has ever had trouble finding that perfect fit. |

What a great design! You have a wonderful product. I wonder why no one thought of this before? I purchased a medium chrome slide to play on my bottleneck Dobro and I cannot believe how much cleaner I can play. |

Plain brass gets that old time slide vibe going, but the chrome gets those wails and moans without even trying! |

I had to write and tell you how delighted I was with my new RockSlide. The feeling might have been akin to buying a golf ball that knocked six strokes off my game. I started playing slide some thirty years ago. Through all the methods and slide types from glass bottle to spark plug socket. I never experienced remarkable improvements that came without effort. Your fabulous new RockSlide instantly improved my speed, accuracy and control. Congratulations and thank-you! I will use the RockSlide exclusively |

Wow! I just received a brass and a steel pinky slide this afternoon in the mail. I've been playing them all evening. These are the best metal slides I've ever played. They play faster and cleaner due to their ergonomic shape. Players who do not normally play slide will gravitate to them because of the ease of use. I will spread the word to all my favorite guitar stores to carry your product. I know they will sell. How somebody never figured this shape out before is beyond me. My only recommendations are that you develop a glass slide and a 3/4 and 1/2 length slide. I promise I will buy them. |
