Exclusive handcrafted guitar pick in shape of triangle made of highest quality Vespel, Torlon and Peek plastic by Luka - Black Hole
$131.46
Limited edition of exclusive three-layer guitar pick made of highest quality Vespel, Torlon and Peek plastic. Two versions to choose from:
1. Black Peek / Vespel / Black Peek
2. Torlon / Vespel / Torlon
Provides very good grip thanks to the matte finish and drilled holes in the central part with a diameter of 7 mm. A very comfortable, extremely durable and good sounding guitar plectrum. Made perfectly with attention to every detail.
Shape: Triangle
Dimensions: Width: 35mm, Thickness: ≈ 6mm
Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.
1. Material properties:
- Torlon (PAI – Polyamide-imide):
- Ultra-durable polymer with the highest thermal (up to 270°C) and mechanical resistance.
- Rigidity with vibration absorption – reduces the “metallic” sharpness of the sound, introducing warmth and depth.
- Resistant to abrasion, cracking and chemicals.
- Vespel (SP-1)– high-performance polyimide):
- Premium material used in aviation and industry – resistant to temperatures up to 300°C, with a low coefficient of friction and exceptional dimensional stability.
- Neutral sound with precise attack and dynamic control.
- PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
- Hardness: high (similar to hard metal)
- Abrasion resistance: close to Torlon but still lower
- Stiffness: extreme - virtually zero deflection
- Chemical resistance: unsaturated - sweat resistant
Sound characteristics:
- Attack: aggressive and fast with a metallic "ping" in the high notes
- Timbre: bright, clear with excellent sound separation

2. Effects on sound:
- Outer layers (Torlon):
- Attenuates high frequencies, adding midrange warmth and bass depth.
- Reduces the "glassy" aftertaste typical of hard materials.
- Core (Vespel):
- Provides **crystal clear attack** and precise transients, characteristic of technical techniques (shredding, tapping).
- Thanks to low friction, it supports smooth glide over the strings, minimizing noise.
- Final effect: Rich, balanced sound - the organic warmth of Torlon combined with the analytical precision of Vespel.

3. Durability and comfort:
- Wear resistance:
- Torlon and Vespel create an indestructible system - resistant to abrasion, cracking and deformation even during extreme play.
- Vespel in the core stabilizes the structure, preventing creep (deformation under long-term load).
---
4. Playability:
- **Stiffness vs. control:**
- The dominant stiffness of Vespel and Torlon makes the plectrum ideal for techniques requiring precision (e.g. alternate picking, sweep picking).
- Lack of flexibility - guarantees consistent string response.
- Sliding and dynamics:
- Low friction Vespel supports fast arpeggios, and Torlon stabilizes the sound, reducing unwanted vibrations.
---
6. Summary:
The Torlon-Vespel hybrid is an elite tool for sound engineers, which:
- Combines the indestructibility of the two hardest polymers,
- Offers a unique sound - the warmth of Torlon with the surgical precision of Vespel,
- It is designed for professionals who do not accept compromises.
**Application:**
- Progressive metal, jazz fusion, experimental rock - where control over every detail counts,
- Long studio sessions - thanks to noise reduction and durability.
This is a plectrum for perfectionists who see the playing as a combination of science and art - where the tool must be as exceptional 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.
