ChickenboneJohn & Diamond Bottlenecks

If you want the very best in genuine bottlenecks slides...look no further...Diamond Bottlenecks.

I've stopped making my own bottleneck slides...and started stocking these fantastic slides because Ian McWee and the good people at Diamond Bottlenecks can do the job better, more consistently and quicker...leaving me more time to make more of my cigar box guitars. Heres a little bit about this new partnership...Diamond Bottleneck News and Reviews

You can get these great slides direct from Diamond Bottlenecks in Stourbridge in the West Midlands, from my online shop, or from my shop on the road at all the leading UK guitar shows.

Here's me demoing these slides...

Comment by ChickenboneJohn on February 3, 2012 at 5:53am: Never tried a bone slide...and not been inclined to do so because of the lack of density...but I'm open to trying one.

I'd be concerned about them marking-up, as that's another reason I don't favour metal slides, because they pit and scratch easily compared to glass. I've got a couple of steels (Dunlop and Kluson) for lap playing, which I really like for the weight, but it didn't take long before they got some pretty big tramlines in them.

Comment by Randy S. Bretz on February 3, 2012 at 5:36am: Just askin have you ever tried a bone slide?

Comment by James Bush on February 3, 2012 at 5:10am: I really like wine bottle neck slides. For those in the USA checkout Willy's slides on ebay or concact him at williamdcassidy@comcast.net
