Beautiful and unique modern guitar pick made of three layers. The two outer layers are kirinite acrylic while the inner core is highly abrasion-resistant torlon.
Plectrum provides excellent grip due to drilled holes. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a guitarist.
Shape: Button Jazz
Dimensions: Length: 30mm, Width: 25mm
Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.
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.
The configuration with two layers of Kirinite on the outside and a Torlon core combines aesthetics, strength and unique sound. This design is perfect for guitarists who want to stand out visually without sacrificing precision and durability.
Properties:
1. Strength and durability:
- Torlon (core):
- Abrasion resistance: extreme - the Torlon core practically does not wear out even with aggressive playing.
- Stiffness: high - minimizes the bending of the plectrum, ensuring precise contact with the strings.
- Kirinite (outer layers):
- Scratch resistance: medium - Kirinite can wear out on the edges, but the Torlon core protects against breakage.
- Combined effect: The plectrum is more durable than pure Kirinite, but less resistant to wear than Torlon itself.
2. Sound characteristics:
- Attack: clear and fast (Kirinite dominates), but with a slight smoothing of the highs thanks to Torlon.
- Tone: Highs: controlled, with a delicate "grind" from Torlon - less surgical than pure Kirinite. Mids: clear, with a subtle reverb (Torlon introduces an organic warm tone). Lows: balanced - Kirinite prevents excess bass, Torlon fills it slightly.
- Example use: progressive rock, fusion - when both precision and musicality count. Playing solo on a guitar with humbuckers - Torlon reduces the sharpness of the overdrive.
3. Ergonomics and comfort:
- Kirinite: smooth and slightly slippery surface but sticks to hands with minimal sweat.
- Torlon: stiffness of the core requires greater impact force - better for advanced players.
- Weight: Kirinite is lighter than Torlon, but the core maintains acoustic mass - the plectrum does not "run away" from the hand.
4. Aesthetics.
- Kirinite: a beautiful pattern that makes the plectrum a shiny artifact.
For whom?
- Collectors and stage artists - the plectrum will attract attention with its Kirinite pattern.
- Session guitarists - combines a universal sound with durability.
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.
