Vintage aesthetic meets Bayou-inspired tone. If you are a player who lives for the look of tweed and well-loved, worn-in gear, The Rock Slide® Medium Aged Balltip is built for your rig. Individually hand-aged using a unique multi-step "recipe of destruction," these slides look like they were pulled from the bottom of a swamp while maintaining a mirror-smooth finish for professional playability.

Now available at Haggerty’s Music, this Medium (M) aged brass slide is the ultimate hybrid tool for players with a ring size of 8–10.5.

The Ultimate Hybrid: Lap Steel Versatility

The Aged Balltip isn't just about the relic look; it's a precision-engineered combo slide designed for maximum versatility across multiple instruments.

• Lap & Pedal Steel Inspired: The integrated ball nose allows this slide to pull double duty. Use it like a standard bottle slide on your electric, or flip to the tip for precise single-string work on a Dobro, Lap Steel, or Resonator.
• Aged Brass Tone: Tonally, this slide delivers the legendary "bite" and massive sustain of brass. It acts as a natural gain knob for your guitar, providing a dark, rich sound that cuts through the mix with authority.
• Two Playing Surfaces: The Balltip design offers both a longer and shorter playing surface in one tool, giving you the flexibility to switch between full-chord coverage and nimble lead lines.
• Signature Rock Slide Ergonomics: Despite the "distressed" look, it features the patented tapered interior for a snug fit, the knuckle cutaway for natural finger bending, and the flat finger rest for superior vibrato control.
• One-of-a-Kind Finish: Because each slide is individually hand-aged, the appearance varies from piece to piece, ensuring your slide is as unique as your playing style.
