Handcrafted three layer guitar pick made of titanium and polycarbonate in shape of jazz & flow, best gift for guitarist by Luka - Silvera

Silvera is a 2mm thick titanium core covered on both sides with a thin layer of transparent polycarbonate. The logo is between the layers, making it indelible.

„A life time pick with a clear and bright sound. Very comfortable and best for alternate speed picking”

Dimensions: Length: 30mm, Width: 25mm, Thick: 4mm

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

The Grade 2 polycarbonate-titanium hybrid is a niche solution for innovators that:
- Combines the organic sound of plastic with the metallic precision of titanium,
- Ensures indestructible durability thanks to the synergy of materials,
- Offers comfort of play impossible to achieve in homogeneous metal plectrums.

**Application:**
- **Genres requiring versatility** - from rock and metal to fusion, where both aggression and nuance count,
- Players who value experimental materials and unique tonal combinations.

**1. Material properties:**

**Polycarbonate (PC):**
- Thermoplastic with high impact strength (impact resistance), light and flexible.
- Characterized by a smooth surface, good abrasion resistance and moderate stiffness.
- Affects a bright but less aggressive attack compared to harder materials.

**Titanium Grade 2:**
- Pure titanium with high mechanical strength, low weight (density 4.5 g/cm³) and excellent corrosion resistance.
- Gives the sound a metallic shine in the high tones and precise articulation.

**2. Effects on sound:**

**Outer layers (polycarbonate):**
- They suppress the excessive sharpness of titanium, adding warmth and a soft envelope to the sound.
- They emphasize midrange and bass while maintaining clarity.

- **Core (titanium grade 2):**
- They provide a crisp attack and crystal-clear high-frequency precision typical of metal materials.
- Thanks to the elasticity of titanium, the sound gains dynamic depth without losing control.

- **Final effect:**
Balanced sound- combines the organic warmth of polycarbonate with the metallic brightness of titanium.

**3. Durability and comfort:**

**Wear resistance:**
- Titanium Grade 2 in the core protects against deformation and cracks, even during aggressive play.
- Polycarbonate protects the surface from scratches, while absorbing impacts.

**Ergonomics:**
- The smoothness of polycarbonate provides a comfortable grip, eliminating the "slipperiness" of pure titanium.
- The flexibility of the outer layers reduces vibrations transferred to the hand, which is crucial for long sessions.

**4. Playability:**

**Stiffness vs. Flexibility:**
- The rigid titanium core maintains precision in fast techniques (alternate picking, tapping), while the polycarbonate adds minimal flex, facilitating smooth transitions between strings.

**Glide and Control:**
- The titanium supports lightning-fast glide in techniques like sweep picking, while the polycarbonate prevents the plectrum from accidentally slipping out of your fingers.

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.
