Crushed Opal #2 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 sealed beneath a clear outer layer, producing vivid multicolor flashes across the surface.
This specialized glass requires a lengthy, hands-on process to create. At approximately 2.25 inches long, this piece is close to Silica Sound's Shorty length, with sizing similar to Model 423 and a slightly tighter fit.
Best fit: Shorty-length, non-tapered slide with a heavy wall and a slightly tighter fit than Model 423.
Comparable Silica Sound model: close to Silica Sound Model 423, with a slightly tighter inner diameter.
Specifications
• Length: 57 mm / 2.25 in.
• Outer diameter: 27.88 mm
• Inner diameter: 20.2 mm
• Wall thickness: approximately 4.7 mm, heavy
• Interior: non-tapered
• Glass/color: black glass with crushed synthetic opal, encased in clear glass
