The Rock Slide is an American manufacturer of guitar slides based around a design invented by guitarist Mark Morse in the late 1970s, after he modified a chrome slide to remove the pinching he experienced at his second knuckle. The design was later refined using CNC machining and CAD work in partnership with a metal manufacturing shop in Spokane, Washington, and the patented shape — featuring a knuckle cutaway, a flared finger rest, and a tapered interior for a snug fit — became the brand's signature. Danny Songhurst has owned the company since 2011, continuing the line originally built around Morse's invention.
The lineup covers slides in brass (including polished and nickel-plated finishes), moulded glass, and ceramic, spanning a range of sizes and wall thicknesses intended to suit different finger sizes and tonal preferences. Alongside standard models, The Rock Slide produces signature slides developed with artists such as Joey Landreth and Ariel Posen of The Bros. Landreth, and Dylan Adams. Players associated with the brand include Chris Shiflett of Foo Fighters, Dave Kilminster (Roger Waters' band), Boo Massey (Miranda Lambert), and Brent Wilson (Trace Adkins).
