Exclusive handcrafted guitar pick in shape of teardrop made of high performance torlon and ultem material by Luka Plectrums

Exclusive three-layer guitar pick made of high quality torlon and ultem plastic.

It consists of three layers. Two external Ultem and one internal Torlon high tech plastic. There is a logo between the layers. A very comfortable, extremely durable and good sounding guitar plectrum.

Shape: Tear
Dimensions: Length: 37mm, Width: 26mm, Thickness: 8mm, 9mm or 10mm

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.

1. Material properties:
- Ultem (PEI – Polyetherimide):
- Thermoplastic with high thermal** (up to 210°C) and chemical resistance.
- Moderate vibration absorption – introduces warmth and organic character of sound.
- Lightweight (density ~1.27 g/cm³) despite thickness.

- Torlon (PAI – Polyamide-imide):
- Ultra-durable polymer with the highest mechanical and thermal resistance (up to 270°C).
- Rigidity with controlled vibration absorption – reduces sharpness while maintaining precision.

2. Effects on sound:
- Outer layers (Ultem):
- Dampens metallic sharpness, introducing midrange warmth and bass depth.
- Gives the sound a soft envelope, characteristic of materials with good vibration absorption.
- Core (Torlon):
- Stabilizes the sound, emphasizing precise attack and high-frequency detail.
- Thanks to its rigidity, it prevents the sound from "smearing" in fast passages.

- Final effect: Rich, balanced sound - the organic warmth of Ultem with the precision of Torlon, ideal for techniques combining expression and control.

3. Durability and comfort:
- Wear resistance:
- Torlon and Ultem create an indestructible system- resistant to cracks, abrasion and deformation.
- The thickness of 8-10 mm makes the plectrum exceptionally durable, even during aggressive play.
- Ergonomics:
- The massive construction requires getting used to - dedicated to players who prefer heavy, stable plectrums..

4. Playability:
- Stiffness vs. control:
- The dominant stiffness of Torlon provides precision in lead techniques (shredding, tapping), while Ultem adds natural flexibility in the strike.

- Slide and dynamics:
- Ultem minimizes friction, facilitating fast glide over the strings, while Torlon stabilizes the sound, reducing noise.

6. Summary:
The Ultem-Torlon hybrid is an elite tool for virtuosos that:
- Combines the organic warmth of Ultem with the indestructibility and precision of Torlon,
- Offers a rich, complex sound - ideal for music that requires both technique and expression,
- It is designed for professionals who are not afraid to experiment with unusual configurations.

**Application:**
- Progressive metal, jazz fusion, experimental rock - where control over dynamics and nuance counts,
- Long studio sessions - thanks to noise reduction and durability.


This is a plectrum for sound explorers who treat the game as an art of engineering – where every detail matters, and the tool is as unique as the music. 🎸🔥

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.
