The Taylor Crelicam Ebony Guitar Slide offers a distinct tonal alternative to conventional glass and metal slides. Crafted from genuine West African ebony – the same responsibly sourced timber used in Taylor bridges and fretboards – this 13/16" (Large) slide delivers a warmer, softer tone across both acoustic and electric guitars. Taylor repurposes ebony that doesn't meet guitar construction standards, extracting additional value from this precious resource while supporting replanting projects and environmental initiatives.
The ebony construction produces fundamentally different harmonics compared to the bright snap of glass or the metallic overtones of brass and steel. This Large size measures 13/16" in internal diameter, accommodating players who need substantial finger coverage without excessive weight. The dense African hardwood resists wear while maintaining smooth contact with strings. If the slide appears dry over time, a small amount of fretboard oil restores its natural lustre and playing surface.
