The Planet Waves Variety Guitar Pick Pack Heavy is a guitar pick pack, containing 1x Heavy Celluloid, 1x Duralin, 1x Cortex, 1x Black Ices and 1x Nyfles picks. Celluloid is one of the most popular guitar pick materials today. Available in a wide variety of shapes, colours and thicknesses, celluloid is known for providing a natural feel and warm, fat tone. A man-made material, celluloid was first introduced in the early 1900's as a substitute for natural tortoise shell picks.
Duralin (also known as Acetyl or Delrin) is a unique material with an extraordinary combination of strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, fatigue resistance and low friction. Normally used as a replacement for metal bushings and bearings in industrial applications, this extremely durable polymer is ideal for picks. Duralin picks are known for their bright clicking sound when hitting strings and are preferred by many soloists for their clear articulation on fast single note passages.
Cortex picks are precision moulded to eliminate grain structures, allowing for dynamic pick response. This unique material closely resembles actual tortoise shell in feel and sound yet offers high strength, durability and heat resistance. Cortex long lasting picks offer excellent attack with a clean, crisp tone for superior note definition, allowing notes to leap from your strings. Attack, control, clarity and durability…Cortex Picks!
Black Ice Picks feature a custom oversized jazz shape that is designed for speed picking in situations where precise articulation is required. Perfect for both rhythm and single note lead playing, Black Ice Picks are triple tumbled to create a soft-touch texture that provides both an incredibly smooth surface and a superb grip in all playing conditions. Made from Planet Waves Duralin, this ultra-durable material delivers strength and resists abrasion while providing balanced tone with a bright attack.
Inspired by the revered nylon picks of the 50’s and 60’s, the Planet Waves Nyflex is the first nylon pick to capture the flexible feel, warm tone and moulded grip pattern of the original, delivering an authentic, vintage playing experience in its entirety. Now you can finally experience the feel and tone that was so eagerly sought out by now Hall of Fame guitarist during the birth of rock-n-roll. Nylflex, the modern pick for vintage tone!
The main features of the Planet Waves Variety Guitar Pick Pack Heavy include:
Lovely set of picks, all are useable if you like them on the heavier side, but some of them are truly excellent for me. The important thing is that this pack gives you the chance to try different materials and shapes before you commit to a pack of a single type. Very good.
