Welcome to Voo Doo Cool, where you will find many paths to ultimate tone. Whether your quest is for your one personal tone, or you love achieving many tones with your guitar, we at Voo Doo Cool have the slide solution. We hand make an amazing variety of slides, both bottleneck and lap style, featuring both metal and glass slide surfaces. Our lap style slides are crafted using select woods from many countries, from the jewel like Bloodwood to the always popular maple. Our hand carved handles make playing an absolute joy, and allow for very articulate slide work. Behind the note muting, note skipping and pecussive effects are all enhanced by our designs. Your choice of slide surface; glass, brass, or stainless steel will play the biggest part in the slide tone, from icy smooth to raunchy grind. Bloodwood & Stainless Steel S.R.P. $35.00 The stainless steel slide surface provides the ultimate in volume and sustain, while being extremely durable. Steel has more string noise than brass or glass. Ideal for rock and raunchy blues. The bloodwood handle is hand carved, and oil finished. A light coat of lemon oil from time to time will keep the wood looking bright. Purpleheart & Stainless Steel S.R.P. $40.00 The stainless steel slide surface provides the ultimate in volume and sustain, while being extremely durable. Steel has more string noise than brass or glass. Ideal for rock and raunchy blues. The purpleheart handle is hand carved, and finished with urethane (The puple colour is natural to the wood, no stains or dyes are used). It can be waxed from time to time will keep the wood looking bright or left to age. Our Hand Cut Bottleneck slides come from real wine bottles from around the world, carefully chosen for glass type, surface finish, thickness and shape. Curved slides are better for arpeggio, chord type sliding, while straight slides are better for individual note playing and small string clusters. Thick glass provides longer sustain but may require higher string action. Thin glass allows you to slide easier on low string heights, where fretting is mixed with sliding. Each glass surface is distinctive. The coarser the surface texture, the more the slide imposes its own character on your tone. Voo Doo Cool Bottleneck Slides are cut by hand and look that way. We like the look of slides that could have come from a delta juke or bayou shack. We have nothing against the perfectly finished, machine-made slides that other makers sell, (in fact we have lots of those in our personal collections as well) but we find more mojo in the earthier, hand-made look. Our Motto: You Can Never Have Too Many Slides! We will have pictures on this page as our website progresses, but in the meantime, feel free to email us for info about the coolest slides on the planet.
