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

The Ultem-PEEK hybrid is an elite tool for virtuosos that:
- Combines the indestructibility of two of the hardest polymers,
- Offers a unique sound - precise highs with organic warmth and depth,
- Is designed for players who do not accept compromises between durability and articulation.

**Application:**
- Progressive metal, jazz fusion, neoclassical shred - where control over every detail of the sound counts,
- Long studio sessions - thanks to vibration reduction and ergonomics.

This is a plectrum for perfectionists who see the game as a combination of science and art - where the tool must be as exceptional as the music.

**1. Material properties:**

**Ultem (PEI – Polyetherimide):**
- High-strength thermoplastic with excellent thermal (up to 170–210°C), chemical and mechanical resistance.
- Characterized by moderate stiffness, good vibration absorption and warmer sound color compared to PEEK.

**PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone):**
- Engineering thermoplastic with extreme stiffness, abrasion and temperature resistance (up to 250°C).
- Provides crystal clear attack and neutral, precise sound with emphasized highs.

**2. Effects on sound:**

**Ultem layer:**
- Dampens the metallic sharpness of PEEK, introducing warmth in the midrange and depth of the bass**.
- By absorbing vibrations, the sound becomes more organic and subdued, with less of a "glassy" aftertaste.

**PEEK layer:**
- Gives the sound clear transients and bright highs, typical of technical techniques (e.g. shredding, tapping).
- Stabilizes dynamics, eliminating "smearing" of sound during fast passages.

**Final effect:** Balanced sound - a combination of PEEK precision with Ultem warmth, ideal for genres requiring both technical control and expression.

**3. Durability and comfort:**

**Wear resistance:**
- Both materials are indestructible - resistance to abrasion, cracking and deformation means that the plectrum will survive years of intensive play.
- Ultem protects against micro-cracks, and PEEK protects the edges from dulling.

**Ergonomics:**
- The smooth surface of both materials provides a smooth glide over the strings, but may require texturing for a better grip.
- The stiffness of PEEK is balanced by the flexibility of Ultem, reducing hand fatigue.

**4. Playability:**

**Stiffness vs. Control:**
- The stiffness of PEEK supports precision lead techniques, while Ultem adds minimal flex, facilitating smooth transitions between chords.

**Slide and Dynamics:**
- The low friction of both materials supports fast arpeggios and sweep picking, while the stability of the construction eliminates unwanted buzz.

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.

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 :)

Thank you for stepping by.
