Dragon's Heart picks from C. Whitney Guitars

guitarz.blogspot.com:

From Fort Worth, TX, in the United States come three varieties of Dragon's Heart picks by C. Whitney Guitars: Original, Pure and Hardened. They are made from Polyamide-imide with glass fibre or graphite fill respectively for the Original and Pure varieties, and offer between 1,000 and 1,500 hours playing time. These are a chunky "double-thickness" pick with a bevelled edge. This design is very easy to grip and moreover to keep hold of in your picking hand. Three different shaped corners (or "tips") allow for enough choice to cover most preferences and playing styles.

The picks are designed for faster cleaner guitar playing and also to impart tone. The Original variety offers a brighter tone, whereas Hardened gives a warmer, softer tone, and the Pure makes for a faster action.

EpicGrip - The Titanium Guitar Pick

guitarz.blogspot.com:

It sure looks cool but what are the advantages of a EpicGrip Titanium guitar pick to the modern guitarist? EpicGrips mainman John Wundes spills the beans:

Solid Titanium, super strong, incredibly light-weight, solid grip, durable as hell... This is the pick that rocks as hard as you do. Smooth rounded edges, high-polish, killer grip, insane durability, fantastic price. You won't find ANY titanium pick at this price, much less one with this level of craftsmanship.

Titanium is used in cars, planes, hiking gear, medical implants and spaceships, because it's light as plastic, with the strength of steel! The high strength to weight ratio makes the EpicGrip a great general purpose pick, and when you need to do high speed precision picking, THIS should be the pick you reach for.

Because it doesn't slip, the EpicGrip feels like an extension of your hand. Sound-wise, Titanium picks have a stronger attack if you hold them loosely, and a tighter grip softens the tone. It gives me an extra bit of dynamic range when I'm playing. Some rock guitarists in the 80s used to boil their strings to achieve a custom sound - now you can tweak your sound mid-riff, just by using the EpicGrip pick.

For more information and to get your EpicPick, please see the EpicGrip Kickstarter page.
