Description
Designed and developed in collaboration with legendary guitar player Leo Kotke. The quality of the AcoustaGlide guitar slide sells itself. Its satisfying heft aids vibrato and makes it easier to play for pros and beginners alike. Precision machined from a solid bar of a special brass alloy, it's unique flared shape is ideal for all guitar necks; wide, narrow, flat curved 6 and 12-string. This unique patented flare also helps eliminate buzzing and angles nicely for non-open tunings (thirds and even fifths). Its hand-polished jewelry finish quietly tells the world that you're serious about your music.

A great slide!
This was recommended to me by my guitar teacher. It's weight make it easier to do the slides that I want to do (compared to glass slides, for example), and it is smooth and precisely machined.

LATCH LAKE ACOUSTAGLIDE - The best slide you'll ever use!
I've long been curious about this slide since my favorite guitarist, Leo Kottke, had a hand in designing it. I recently dropped my glass slide and broke it - I took this as a sign that I should go ahead and finally purchase this slide. And breaking my glass slide was the best thing that ever happened to my slide playing. I love the AcoustaGlide slide. It is heavier than the glass Dunlop so it is easier to dampen the strings and it produces better tone and sustain. Lunchbox audio was great to work with - the guy who answered the phone helped me choose the right size and it was shipped the same day I ordered it. I'm really happy with this purchase all around.

Just what the (R&R) doctor ordered!
Great slide: puts just the right amount of weight on the strings. Tapering works to nice effect

Great Slide
This is the best slide I have seen. It fits my finger perfectly which allows me great control over the slide and it seems a bit heavier on the end so it's easier to get a clean solid sound out of the bass strings. The inside has a slight texture to it that again makes it a joy to use. The outside is silky smooth. Can't think of a single improvement. Great Slide! I will be ordering another one soon.
