We have just taken delivery of these wonderful new slides. Diamond Bottlenecks have made a great reproduction of the coricidin pill bottle slide. For those who don't know, this type of slide has been used by many electric players- Duane Allman, Rory Gallagher, Derek Trucks, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes ..... erm struggling a bit now , Gary Rossington of Lynryd Skynrd.... You get the idea. Because of it's light weight its great for playing slide on electric guitars with lighter strings (10's or 11's).
Get yourself a cranked up marshall, a Les Paul tuned to open e and one of these slides and you are in serious Duane Allman territory.
Unlike all the other coricidin type bottles on the market, this one is actually made of soda glass, not pyrex. This gives it a richer warmer tone. There is also a small hole drilled in the top to stop your finger sweating, a common problem for coricidin users.
Here's what guitarist magazine had to say about them-
......."full and liquid sounding....a perfect gap-free finger fit, definitely the best of it's type we've encountered".......
