Beautiful and unique modern guitar pick made of three layers high performance torlon and polyester resin. The two outer layers are resin while the inner core is highly abrasion-resistant torlon. Plectrum has holes drilled in the center on both sides to improve grip.
Shape: Attack Jazz
Dimension: Lenght: 26mm, Width: 23mm, Thickness: 2.5mm
Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.

1. Material properties:
Polyester resin:
- Light and decorative material - easy to dye, often transparent or semi-transparent,
allows for creating patterns (e.g. with glitter, pigments).
- Moderate hardness** (~80 Shore D) - less durable than Torlon, but sufficient for delicate
playing.
Torlon (PAI – Polyamide-imide):
- Ultra-durable polymer with the highest mechanical resistance
- Rigidity with controlled vibration absorption – stabilizes tonality, reducing high-frequency
sharpness.
---
2. Effect on sound:
- Outer layers (polyester resin):
- Emphasizes bright attack – similar to classic nylon plectrums, but with less flexibility.
- Adds a slight high-frequency sparkle, typical of synthetic materials.
- Core (Torlon):
- Dampens the sharpness of polyester resin, introducing midrange warmth and bass stability.
- Thanks to its rigidity, it prevents the sound from "smearing" in fast techniques.
- Final effect: Hybrid sound - a combination of decorative brightness of polyester with organic warmth of Torlon.
---
3. Durability:
- Wear resistance:
- Torlon in the core protects against cracks and deformation, but thin layers of polyester are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
- Polyester resin can crumble during aggressive playing - the plectrum is less durable than pure Torlon.
---
4. Playability:
- Stiffness vs. Flexibility: Torlon's stiffness dominates, giving the plectrum precision in lead techniques, but the thin polyester on the outside slightly softens the strike.
- Control and Dynamics: Polyester introduces lightness in playing, while Torlon stabilizes the sound, reducing unwanted noise.
---
The polyester resin-Torlon hybrid is the perfect solution for aesthetes and experimenters who:
- Appreciate the decorative look of resin (e.g. patterns) while maintaining solid construction,
- Are looking for a non-standard sound – combining plastic brightness with organic warmth,
- Don't need extreme durability but want to avoid the brittleness of pure polyester.
Application:
- Rock, blues, indie – where style and versatility matter,
This is a plectrum for those who want to delight with a pattern without giving up functionality – a combination of art and practicality🎨🎸
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.
