Boutique high-guality guitar pick. It consists of three layers. Two external black or white peek and one internal ultem material. Provides good grip thanks to the special stickers with my logo. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a guitarist.
Shape: Tear
Dimensions: Length: 35, Width: 25mm, Thickness: 10mm, 9mm, 8mm, 7mm or 6mm
Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.
The plectrum is non-standard thickness for a reason. Namely, a large thickness minimizes movement, increases precision, strength and speed. Therefore playing the guitar requires less effort, which is a relief for the player. As a result, the player will have fewer muscle cramps and tensions, and more comfortable playing.
Layered plectrum properties:
1. Resilience:
- Peek (outer layers) protect the core from wear, scratch and deformation resistant
- Ultem (core): It acts as a shock absorber, reducing vibrations transferred to the fingers.
2. Sound:
- Attack: clear and fast (thanks to PEEK) but with a slight smoothing of the highs by ULTEM.
- Timbre: controlled highs without being too harsh, clear mid tones with natural reverberation, low tones slightly enhanced by ULTEM.
- Example use: universal playing - progressive rock, fusion, where both precision and musicality are needed.
3. Ergonomics:
- Ultem in the core provides minimal impact cushioning, reducing hand fatigue over long sessions.
- Smooth Peek surface provides comfortable glide across the strings
Characteristics of both materials:
1. PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is recognized as one of the most versatile and efficient materials on the market. A characteristic feature of PEEK is the combination of unique properties in one material.
Strength properties:
- Hardness: high (similar to hard metal)
- Abrasion resistance: close to Torlon but still lower
- Stiffness: extreme - virtually zero deflection
- Chemical resistance: unsaturated - sweat resistant
Sound characteristics:
- Attack: aggressive and fast with a metallic "ping" in the high notes
- Timbre: bright, clear with excellent sound separation
2. ULTEM (Polyetherimide, PEI)
Strength properties:
- Hardness: medium (between nylon and peek)
- Abrasion resistance: good, but lower than peek
- Elasticity: moderate, slightly elastic
Sound characteristics:
- Attack: balanced - clear but not exaggerated in high tones
- Timbre: neutral, with a slight boost of mid-tones - universal
If you haven't found in my offer the plectrum you are looking for and you need a guitar pick of an unusual shape, size and thickness, don't hesitate to ask. I am open to custom orders :)
