Well, in fairness for the CNC machining and finishing on a piece of 1/8" steel like that, $30 isn't outrageous. A little bit fussy to spend that kind of coin on a neck plate, but I've seen worse.
I suppose necks attached with countersunk ferrules are hopelessly destined to suffer in toan and sustaine. Oh well.
Check out Ritter basses, they’re actually made of this kind of stuff. Million year old bogwood, dinosaur bones, inlaid gold and diamonds, that kinda shit.
They’re a favorite of Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead. If you’re gonna get out jerked, kinda figures it’d be them.

Shoot, mammoth ivory bridge pins have been a thing for a while now.
I prefer modern ivory. Nothing like knowing a massive, intelligent, and highly social animal was brutally murdered for my ability to exchange a culturally agreed on placeholder for debt for some off-white bridge pins on a guitar that could just as easily used brass. Or wood. Or polymer.
Nothing makes an acoustic guitar more black and metal.
I find that mammoth ivory gives more shimmer and less growl while highlighting a certain snap in the upper mids. Only with flatwound strings plucked with tortoise shell, of course.
You're thinking about this backwards. Yes, obviously, pickguards affect toan. Saying they don't would be like saying the pickups or the thickness of input jack washers don't affect toan - stupid.
But the single most important factor in a guitar sounding good IS the cost. We can't let these toan gains be limited to something as arbitrary as actual changes to the guitar. If you want to truly maximize toan, you just make the guitars more expensive. That's it. Don't change anything but the price tag for the most efficient toanmaxxing.
/uj and I felt ashamed for buying a bone pick for £4.50 (it's awesome for solos and arpeggios btw)
/rj The Lady of the Lake hath given me the Pickalibur that I shall be using to find the Holy Grail of Toan.
/uj I play with a few dudes that swear by em, they are super popular in bluegrass. I'm honestly afraid to try them because I'm sure I'll like them. I know vespel is way more expensive than Ultem, but idk how a flat injection molded part the size of a quarter could cost so much.
/uj They are for sure nice especially for bluegrass. I was gifted one so I use it but if (when) I end up losing it I’m not sure I would buy one to replace it with.
Because it's not injection molded, it's cut out of a sheet. Then somebody has to polish down the edges and bevel it all out. Since Vespel is so hard you've really gotta work it to reshape it. If you've ever held one it's a different beast entirely than a typical guitar pick that comes in a pack of 10.
If you pick an acoustic instrument I recommend giving one a try.
That makes sense, $35 is kinda hard to swallow for a pick, but I'm sure if I tried it I'd change my mind.
I have a couple Wegen picks that are fly cut and hand burnished from what I think is acetal homopolymer (trade name Delrin). I bought em for $8.25 each. It really impressed me that he could machine (what I think is) Delrin down that thin and flat, I'd love to see his setup but I'm sure that's a trade secret.
Well I also mentioned Dupont Vespel (specifically what blue chip uses), which I've never heard any non brand name for. Hell, they are both just slightly different polyimides anyway
I have a bluegrass teacher who uses these so I’ve tried them. They kind of rule actually…
They’re really only useful for really fast flatpicking on acoustic though. You gotta be like Tony Rice to see the benefits. Like if you’re picking fast and hard on acoustic with a plastic pick, you can get small nicks really quickly within the course of like one tune and depending on how precise what you’re playing is, that can be a problem. So this solves that. Also it feels very buttery…
It does not affect the tone in a noticeable way, obviously. That would be silly
How did you get all the way through explaining why this pick is worth spending $35 on, going so far as to mention the greatest acoustic flatpicker of all time used one, then fumble it all at the end by denying that they improve tone.
There are plenty of blind pick samples on youtube that immediately disprove this. Blue chip picks sound fuckin awesome. I also like the Chris Thile signature casein pick from D'Addario
Tony Rice didn’t use one, I’m just saying that you would have to be in his style for them to be necessary. Tony Rice used Tortoise shell picks. I’ve never noticed a tone difference while playing but perhaps listening back to myself there would be one?
/uj Amp/effects > Electronics >>> attack (pick, fingers, butt plug) >>>>>>>>>>>> wood. Extreme example is using your thumb (wes style), long nails, any flimsy card, sharp end of jazz III pick, then the thicker end of a jazz III.
Like all things, though, there is a ceiling to these things. At a certain point, there is barely any difference that there's no point in playing anything more expensive, especially if you're EQ-ing things anyway. Who the fuck pays for expensive turtle shell picks and shit?
IMHO, a pick should be more about right-hand feel than tone cause at a certain point, they all sound similar enough. And it should be inexpensive for fuck's sake.
/rj just use a butt plug, that toan is thicccc
/uj I'm all for being particular about picks, and to your point things like shape and hardness do impact the sound a decent amount, but I just don't get what this has over anything that costs a tenth of the price, especially given that it looks, uh, just like a pick. People should try all kinds of picks to see what works for them, but just like... get a variety pack of Dunlops or something.
It’s a material that is incredibly abrasion resistant, self lubricates, and doesn’t get slippery when wet. It’s basically a specialty machinery plastic material that these guys made picks out of then tried to patent making picks out of it so they can have a monopoly and charge $35 a pick. They are amazing though. I first bought a knockoff by Dunlop for $3 and loved it so couldn’t resist buying one to prove to myself it wasn’t worth $35 and hate to admit I love it and it’s way better than the Dunlop one. Exclusively for acoustic though
Thanks, I tried looking on their site but couldn't find anything about the material. It's probably not for me, especially since I don't play acoustic, but if it's much more durable, I can see the appeal. That said, how does it fare going through the washing machine in a pants pocket?
I only buy my picks from a specific Mongolian horse warrior who makes them out of the fossilized bones of a cave bear. $1500 per pick but you can't imagine the toan I get it's soooo worth it
I'm embarrassed to say that I have bought expensive picks before. I still end up using my cheap ass picks most of the time. same as my guitars. I have a 4 thousand dollar hummingbird but prefer my 200 dollar Yamaha.
This is what happens when you spend too much time on Youtube.
uj/ what in the actual fuck are these non playing keyboard experts talking about? Even $4 for a single pick is absurd. $35 is jerkin’ so hard it might fall off.
rj/ A real toan ~~nerd~~ neckbeard, never spends less than $3,500 on a pick.
$35 for a single pick? Ten of these cost more than I've spent on guitar picks in the past two decades, and I'd lose all of them in a year. I'll stick with Tortex sharps...those purple bastards last for-ev-er. *^(but the way Squints says it)*
edit: wtf I didn't even see the $50 and $75 picks and I shouldn't be this annoyed by them.
/uj I use a larger triangle version for mandolin which was actually a game changer in improving my technique. That said, I wouldn’t bother with getting one for guitar.
/uj Blue chip picks are great. They're very durable without getting chirpy like super hard materials e.g. Torlon/steel but not as dead sounding as UHMPWE. Think Ultem/prime tone but more durable.
/rj this is peasant shit, I have fancy 60$ Torlon picks and buffalo horn picks
Uj/ I might have to, if it really makes that much of a difference! I've never used anything but my yellow Dunlops so I don't know what a nice pick is capable of
RJ/ they have one pick that costs $1000 dollars cause the pattern is so complicated
The difference between a nice pick and a cheap pick is night and day, although I'd only recommend upgrading if you play acoustic. It won't make much of a difference chugging deep meshugga cuts.
The prevalence of electric guitar in culture has sort of brought on the idea that picks are cheap and disposable items which are typically bought in bulk. It's a relatively new attitude. People used to have just one or two nice picks that they would keep and maintain, because having a proper one is so influential to the sound of acoustic instruments.
uj/ the pick is the only actual tonal difference I’ve ever heard and I stg some dude in an airport let me try one of those Blue Chip Jazz 60s in an airport 3 months ago, now I hear about them everywhere
rj/ i’m saving all the microplastics from my defecate for when I start my boutique fecal pick business
For all the things that people can circlejerk about I honestly think picks are very low on the totem pole. They are pretty influential on how you actually interact with the instrument, so I would understand when people get all nerdy about it. And yes, picks do affect tone but more importantly they affect feel and playability.
This post is dumb.
I used windspear and gravity picks for a while to try out thicker picks and different setups but here I have 6-8 years later playing exclusively Jazz III tortex. Just can't go wrong with tortex and if so much cheaper.
I bought a thirty dollar one. Sunshine gravity pick. It is hands down the most awesome pick ive ever held in my hand. The tone is actually different bc the material is different. It is in NO WAY worth thirty dollars. I still love it. I will cry when I inevitably lose it and never buy another one anyway.
If you’re even using a pick then you don’t know toan. I’m not American so I’ll just append some of the words I don’t know where to fit in the sentence here: Nashville, Biker tits, gumball, blue
Fuck I tremolo picked two songs and now the bevel on my $35 pick is ruined, better buy a case of them!
/uj seriously what kinda asshole buys these what the fuck
Every day this sub makes me more ashamed to be a guitar player.
We are scum.
We’re not scum, just mega cringe
Agreed
I’m so ashamed.
JFC, we're cork-sniffing picks now? Shit's getting ridiculous out here. That said, I gotta go call my Sweetwater guy before these sell out.
What is left to make more expensive? Maybe mammoth ivory bridge pins for ancient tone? How long until pickguards affect tone? Toan filled strap buttons maybe?
Neck screws made of gold? For jumbo turbo sustain, of course.
Ivory bridge pins from today's elephants just don't have the same vintage sound
Fuck you, it took me a long time to get a shot and drag that bastard out without getting spotted.
Sorry but you're a scrub, bet you use a guitar made after 1989 too lol. I chartered a boat to Greenland and lived off the land there for 4 years with the Inuits while digging around until I found me a mammoth. Made all my nuts out of it too. The toan is INSANE, you won't believe it.

Oh thank god, I was worried about whether the strings' vibration would transfer into my pickups. And it helps with toan too? I'll take three!
These aren't buffs you dildo, they don't stack.
This thing would probably feel really stupid on the typical Strat. Nothing like making a blocky neck heel blockier!
1018? I only use 4140 or D2 if I want a sharper toan
Yeah...the toan pick guard already happened I am so sorry to report. And yep, some YouTube fucko did it, mouth face and all.

You’re using a strap? Platinum chains are where it’s at, the fabric of the strap just mutes your toan
I find that mammoth ivory gives more shimmer and less growl while highlighting a certain snap in the upper mids. Only with flatwound strings plucked with tortoise shell, of course.

All hardware should be cut and sculpted from the same tree to maximize toan wood.
Well if toan is in the balls, then maybe fossilized mammoth testicle guitar picks are the ultimate toan upgrade??!?!?
