Silica Sound Glass Side Medium Wall Tapered Clear

⚠️ Please read sizing guide below. We are unable to exchange & cover shipping for alternate sizes.

Silica Sounds Medium Wall Slides are designed for players who want a lighter-weight glass slide that still delivers strong sustain and control. The medium wall construction gives a faster, more comfortable feel on the finger and typically produces a brighter tone that works beautifully on both electric and acoustic guitars.

A standout feature is the tapered interior: the snugger fit at the tip helps the slide feel secure (especially for pinky use or higher finger placement) and adds a touch of mass where it counts—helping with sustain and stability without making the slide feel heavy.

Highlights

• Typically a brighter tone than thicker/heavier slides

• Tapered interior for a snug fit at the tip and added sustain
