High performance teardrop guitar pick made of peek and ultem high quality plastic best gift for guitarist by Luka - Yellow Triple Tear

Handmade triple layer guitar pick. It consists of three layers. Two external natural peek and one internal ultem. Several thicknesses to choose from. Plectrum has a logo stickers on both sides to improve grip. They are printed using the UV method making them slightly rough and durable. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a guitarist.

Shape: Teardrop
Dimensions: Length: 36, Width: 26mm

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 :)
