Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic head having a tape guide which regulates the path of tape travel wherein a wider range of errors is allowed for the angle of attachment of the head to the recording/reproducing system to improve the reliability and slidability during use at high temperatures.The present invention magnetic head is adopted so that a tape 9 running along a tape guide 3 is forced toward a restrictive member 5 by means of a slide contact section 4 of a sloped section 6 and a stopper 8 is provided on the side of said slide contact section 4 to prevent the tape 9 from moving toward the sloped section 6. It is further characterized in that said tape guide 3 is made of nylon resin blended with whiskers having the diameter of 0.2-0.5 .mu.m and the length of 10-20 .mu.m at a weight ratio of 10-40%.
