Half Astral Slide

Smaller form factor and easy break down for travel

The Astral Slide takes flight! Throw it in a bag and fly to a gig in Greenland or Croatia! Breaks down in seconds and fits in a small bag for carry-on. Same great tone and versatility as a full on Astral Slide in a simple, compact design.

Steve’s Take: “Similar functionality as the Astral. With fewer controls. Everything is condensed and the neck pops off easily for travel in a carry-on package.”
