Limited guitar plectrum in shape of shield made of high performance peek and ultem material best gift for guitarist - Triple Shield

Handmade 5mm thick plectrum. It consists of three layers. Two external Ultem and one internal Peek. There is a logo between the layers.

Dimensions: Length: 29mm Width: 26mm, Thickness: 5mm

Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.

Layered plectrum properties:

1. Durability:
- Ultem (outer layers) protects the core from impacts but is less abrasion resistant than Peek
- Peek (core): provides rigidity preventing the plectrum from bending.
- The combined effect: a plectrum for those who value comfort but don't want to give up
precision.

2. Sound:
-Attack: soft start (ultem) but with dynamic "push" from the core with peek
- Timbre: Highs muffled by ultem but slightly boosted by peek. Mid tones smooth and balanced. Warm low tones with a clear foundation.
Example use: Blues, alternative rock, chord playing - wherever fluidity is important

3. Ergonomics:
- Ultem's soft grip reduces slippage, even with sweaty fingers,
- Peek core keeps strings in control, preventing sound from "smearing"

Summary: This configuration is aimed at those players who value comfort and warmth of sound over extreme durability.

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
