Unique handmade guitar pick. It consists of three layers. Two external kirinite (turquoise or pink) and one internal white peek. Provides excellent grip due to polished kirinite as well as thanks to the sticker with my logo. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a guitarist.
Shape: Teardrop
Dimensions: Length: 37mm, Width: 27mm, Thickness: 7mm
Handcrafted plectrum (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.
The Kirinite-PEEK hybrid combines:
- The aesthetics and clarity of kirinite – ideal for players who value unique design,
- The engineering strength of PEEK – for demanding users,
- Sound: Precise high tones with slightly subdued sharpness and enhanced midrange.
**Application:**
The plectrum will work well in music requiring technical precision (e.g. progressive metal, jazz fusion) and for players looking for an **indestructible tool** with professional sound characteristics.
1. **Material properties:**
- **Kirinite:**
- Acrylic resin with high hardness, scratch resistance and decorative appearance (patterns, colors).
- Gives the sound a **bright, precise attack and a luminous, slightly "glassy" color, typical of hard materials.
- **PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone):**
- Engineering thermoplastic with exceptional mechanical strength, resistance to abrasion, high temperatures and chemicals.
- Characterized by stiffness, low coefficient of friction and moderate vibration absorption.
2. **Influence on sound:**
- **Outer layers (kirinite):**
- Emphasize high tones and transient precision, ideal for fast solos or techniques requiring clear articulation (e.g. fingerstyle).
- Give the sound a "snappy", slightly cool character.
- **Core (PEEK):**
- Thanks to its rigidity, it stabilizes the sound, reducing excessive sharpness of high frequencies.
- Adds a subtle boost to the midrange, while maintaining neutrality of the bass.
- Effect: Balanced sound with preservation of detail, but without exaggeration in sharpness.
3. **Durability and comfort:**
- **Wear resistance:**
- PEEK, as a material with extreme durability, protects the plectrum from deformation, cracks and abrasion even during intensive play.
- Kirinite, already resistant, gains additional protection thanks to the rigid core.
- **Ergonomics:**
- The smooth surface of kirinite provides comfortable sliding, while the rigidity of PEEK minimizes the deformation of the plectrum during impact.
- The lack of excessive flexibility reduces vibrations transferred to the hand, which is an advantage during long sessions.
4. **Playability:**
- **Stiffness vs. Control:**
- The dominant stiffness of PEEK and kirinite makes the plectrum ideal for precise techniques (e.g. alternate picking, tapping).
- The lack of flexibility requires more control, but guarantees consistent string response.
- **Slide and Precision:**
- The low friction of PEEK facilitates smooth sliding across the strings, which is crucial for techniques such as sweep picking or fast arpeggios.
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.
