Crushed Opal #1 is a one-of-a-kind, non-tapered glass guitar slide built on a deep black base. Crushed synthetic opal shards are suspended throughout the glass and encased beneath a clear outer layer, creating a dense field of multicolor flashes that shift with the light.
Producing the opal-filled glass is a specialized, time-intensive process, and the finished slide has an extra-heavy 5 mm wall for a substantial feel. Its sizing is close to Silica Sound Model 424, with a slightly tighter fit.
Best fit: regular-length, non-tapered slide with a substantial extra-heavy wall and a slightly tighter fit than Model 424.
Comparable Silica Sound model: close to Silica Sound Model 424, with a slightly tighter inner diameter.
Specifications
• Length: 69 mm / 2.7 in.
• Outer diameter: 28.3 mm
• Inner diameter: 19.2 mm
• Wall thickness: approximately 5 mm, extra heavy
• Interior: non-tapered
• Glass/color: black glass with crushed synthetic opal, encased in clear glass
