Multicolor handmade modern guitar pick made of high quality torlon and polyester resin material - Triple Layer Attack Jazz Pick by Luka

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.
