Why Non-Standard Thickness?
The large thickness minimizes movement, increases precision, strength and speed. Playing the guitar requires less effort, which is a relief for the player. As a result, the player will have fewer muscle cramps and tensions, and more comfortable playing.
Material Characteristics
1. PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
Recognized as one of the most versatile and efficient materials on the market.
Strength Properties
- Hardness: high (similar to hard metal)
- Abrasion resistance: close to Torlon but still lower
- Stiffness: extreme – virtually zero deflection
- Chemical resistance: unsaturated – sweat resistant
Sound Characteristics
- Attack: aggressive and fast with a metallic "ping" in the high notes
- Timbre: bright, clear with excellent sound separation
Example use: shredding, technical metal – where speed and legibility of notes are important.
2. ULTEM (Polyetherimide, PEI)
Strength Properties
- Hardness: medium (between nylon and PEEK)
- Abrasion resistance: good, but lower than PEEK
- Elasticity: moderate, slightly elastic
Sound Characteristics
- Attack: balanced – clear but not exaggerated in high tones
- Timbre: neutral, with a slight boost of mid-tones – universal
Example use: rock, pop – when versatility is needed.
