One for those who's PRS private stock collection has run a bit stale me thinks.

you'd make a killing on tgp with those

Wouldn't the Gold ones wear really quickly?

I note that they "also have an aperture to pass a thread or chain through to wear the pick as an item of jewellery". I think they mean "hole". Jewellery's probably all they're good for.

I did stump up £5 for a Satriani Chrome Dome pick, gets used for the occasional beep-boop slidey noise type thing but I've never really got metal picks.

If you used them on steel strings the wear would probably strip a few pence off the value on every note.

What happened to that chap who was making picks out of old coins on MR?

Used to get right on my threepennies..

They're not designed to be used as picks - they really are just jewellery.

I use a lot of their wooden picks. Very nice sound - you get a much smoother attack than with nylon picks. It's an expensive habit, mind...

I learned a long time ago not to get into things like weird picks or unusual strings. You inevitably get into a situation where they aren't available before a gig and then you're knackered.
