My point was not that an EpicGrip is lighter than celluliod, but rather you get the strength of steel, for the same weight as plastic. Also, I checked out your shonkyinstruments blog. Nice work on the tenor uke.<br /><br />@jake - I originally wanted a banana shaped cut-out, but the focus groups preferred this design.<br /><br />@rotter - Excellent question actually. What is the long term effect of using these picks? Clearly any friction produces wear, but the smooth edge rounding of the EpicGrip minimizes that wear. From a materials perspective, titanium is slightly softer than steel, so if anything, the strings will be wearing down the pick, just like a regular pick, only much slower. Subjectively I've been using these on nylon, acoustic steel and super-slinky electric for over 6 months and have not yet seen any negative effect on the picks or to the strings.<br /> <br />cheers,<br />-JJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586720876169739222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-38592175552046591772013-06-29T12:27:38.625+01:002013-06-29T12:27:38.625+01:00At last! a super lightweight pick.

I do find it quite tiring holding a celluloid one.Antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074911783665849229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-86683385846484824972013-06-29T10:40:44.992+01:002013-06-29T10:40:44.992+01:00Cheesy tribal-ish patterns: not just for guitars, ...Cheesy tribal-ish patterns: not just for guitars, apparently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-81025831638379800702013-06-28T22:35:14.441+01:002013-06-28T22:35:14.441+01:00I bet strings wouldn't last too long using thi...
