Polycarbonate is a universal material for players looking for balance:
- **Durability** – the plectrum is resistant to intensive use,
- **Neutral sound with a warm attack** – works well in rock, pop and rhythm playing,
**For whom?**
- **Rhythm guitarists** – thanks to its moderate stiffness facilitating strumming,
**1. Basic Material Properties:**
- **Composition:** Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional impact resistance (even at low temperatures) and transparency.
- **Hardness:** Moderately high (approx. 70–75 on the Shore D scale), placing it between soft nylon and stiffer Delrin.
- **Density:** Low (1.2 g/cm³), making the plectrums lightweight but stable.
**2. Effects on Sound:**
- **Attack:** Warm, with well-defined transients
- **Timbre:** Neutral with a slight high-frequency boost - retains detail without dominating the natural sound of the guitar.
- **Sustain:** not very long but sufficient to maintain clarity in fast passages.
**3. Durability:**
- **Wear resistance:** High - polycarbonate is resistant to cracks, scratches and deformation even during intensive play.
- **String protection:** Smooth surface minimizes string wear, unlike sharper materials (e.g. steel).
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.
