Five times lighter than brass and 33% lighter than glass, magnesium produces a warm tone, great sustain and minimal string noise on acoustic or electric guitars.
​MagSlide is a father and son collaboration between TJ Carter and his dad Tom, combining both of their passions for guitar, music and product development.
​Growing up around the family's tradeshow display company, Expogo Displays & Graphics, TJ developed a love for product innovation and bringing new products to market and is now attending NC State's School on Industrial Design in Raleigh, NC.
​One day while working on another injection molded product they were developing, Tom & TJ decided to try using a piece of 3/4" magnesium tube they had as a guitar slide. Testing it the first time they were intrigued by the warm tone it produced and decided to explore developing series of guitar slides made from magnesium.
​After over a year in development and testing the result is the MagSlide, a contoured and tapered guitar slide with a stunning black chrome finish that is suprsingly lightweight with a rich warm tone and a remarkable amount of sustain.
