-
Premium Polyacetal Construction: Made from polyacetal, a material favored for high-quality guitar picks, this pick offers a firm, stable feel for powerful, accurate picking. Polyacetal is known for its durability and its ability to produce a clear, focused tone that cuts through the mix.

Versatile 1.0mm Thickness: The 1.0mm gauge is a medium-heavy thickness that provides the perfect balance of flexibility and control.

Triangle Shape for Greater Control: The triangle shape offers three playing edges and more surface area to grip, providing superior control and a comfortable feel in the hand. It's a shape favored by bassists and guitarists who want a substantial, stable pick for consistent contact and quick string release.
