Handmade three-layer modern guitar pick made of high quality materials in shape of jazz Jesse Clay Smith Sygnature - Black Gold Jazz

Jesse Clay Smith Sygnature modern guitar pick. It consists of three layers. Two external KIRINITE and depending on version one internal PE-UHMW or PEEK. Pick has embedded glowing material (when exposed to light, it emits green light in the dark). Provides good grip thanks to polished kirinite material as well as drilled holes. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a professional guitarist.

In the UHMWPE variant this hybrid combines the visual advantages of kirinite with the functionality of UHMWPE, offering:
- aesthetic design with durability,
- expressive attack with a warm, balanced sound,
- versatile in use (from metal riffs to acoustic arpeggios).
Perfect for guitarists looking for a combination of style, comfort and unique sound characteristics.

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 highs with slightly subdued sharpness and enhanced midrange.

The plectrum is perfect for music that requires technical precision (e.g. progressive metal, jazz fusion) and for players looking for an indestructible tool with professional sound characteristics.

Shape: Button Jazz
Lenght: 29mm, Width: 25mm,

Important! The price is for a single piece

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

**Material properties**:
- Kirinite: Acrylic resin with high hardness, durability and aesthetic appearance (patterns, colors). Gives the plectrum a bright, precise attack and a luminous sound color.

- UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene): Material with exceptional abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and good vibration absorption. Adds elasticity and dampens part of the high frequencies.

- PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone): An engineering thermoplastic with exceptional mechanical strength, resistance to abrasion, high temperatures and chemicals. It is characterized by stiffness, low coefficient of friction and moderate vibration absorption.

**Effects on sound**:
- Kirinite (outer layers): Provides a clear attack and bright tonality typical of hard materials.

- UHMWPE (core): Softens the harshness of the highs, enriching the midrange and bass, leading to a more balanced, warm sound.

- PEEK (core): Thanks to its rigidity, it stabilizes the sound, reducing excessive sharpness of high frequencies. It adds a subtle midrange boost while maintaining bass neutrality.
The result: balanced sound with preservation of detail, but without exaggeration in sharpness.

**Durability and comfort**:
- Wear resistance: UHMWPE layer protects against cracking and abrasion, extending the life of the plectrum.
- Kirinite, already durable, gains the added protection of mechanical integrity.
- PEEK, as a material with extreme durability, protects the plectrum against deformation, cracks and abrasion even during intense playing.

**Ergonomics**: Kirinite's smooth surface provides a comfortable grip, while UHMWPE's flexibility reduces vibration, minimizing hand fatigue during long playing sessions.

**Playability**:
- Stiffness vs. Flexibility: Kirinite's dominant stiffness maintains precision in solos, while UHMWPE adds minimal flex, facilitating fast strumming and smooth transitions between strings.
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.
- Glideability: UHMWPE's low friction can support fluid movements, especially in techniques that require quick shifts (e.g. sweeping).
The low friction of PEEK allows for smooth gliding across the strings, which is crucial for techniques like sweep picking or fast arpeggios.

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.
