Jazz Guitar Pick – Kirinite with UHMWPE, PEEK, Amber Ultem or Torlon Core
Beautiful handmade guitar pick consisting of three layers: two external Kirinite (toxic green) and one internal core of your choice — UHMWPE (black or green), PEEK (black or beige), Amber Ultem (amber) or Torlon (yellow). Provides very good grip thanks to special stickers with the Luka Plectrums logo. A very comfortable, durable and great-sounding gift for a guitarist.
Available in two versions: sharp edges or rounded tip.
~ Important! The price is for a single piece ~
Shape & Dimensions
Jazz
Length: 29mm, Width: 26mm, available in several thicknesses
Craftsmanship
Handcrafted — sawn, carved, shaped and polished using workshop power tools.
The non-standard thickness minimizes movement, increases precision, strength and speed. Playing requires less effort, reducing muscle cramps and tension for more comfortable long sessions.
Why This Combination?
This plectrum combines the visual advantages of Kirinite with the functionality of the chosen core material, offering:
- Aesthetic design with durability
- Expressive attack with a sound character tailored to your playing style
- Versatile use — from metal riffs to acoustic arpeggios
Perfect for guitarists looking for a combination of style, comfort and unique sound characteristics.
Material Properties
Kirinite (outer layers): Acrylic resin with high hardness, durability and aesthetic appearance. Gives the plectrum a bright, precise attack and a luminous sound color.
UHMWPE core (black or green): Exceptional abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and good vibration absorption. Adds elasticity, dampens high frequencies — for a warm, round tone with smooth string glide. Best for: funk, blues, chord playing.
PEEK core (black or beige): Extreme stiffness and hardness, sweat resistant, virtually zero deflection. Fast, aggressive attack with bright clarity and excellent note separation. Best for: shredding, technical metal, fast passages.
Amber Ultem core (amber): High-performance polyetherimide with a warm amber hue. Combines moderate stiffness with natural vibration absorption, adding warmth and organic character to the tone. Slightly softer feel than PEEK, with a touch more flexibility. Best for: jazz, blues-rock, expressive playing styles.
Torlon core (yellow): Ultra-strong polyamide-imide with the highest mechanical resistance among thermoplastics. Combines rigidity with controlled vibration absorption — reduces metallic sharpness while maintaining precision and note definition. Best for: progressive metal, jazz fusion, studio sessions.
Sound Characteristics by Core
- Kirinite + UHMWPE: Warm, balanced sound — softened highs, enriched midrange and bass
- Kirinite + PEEK: Bright, precise and fast — crystal clarity with a slight Kirinite warmth
- Kirinite + Amber Ultem: Warm and expressive — organic tone with smooth attack and natural feel
- Kirinite + Torlon: Rich and controlled — precise attack with reduced metallic sharpness and deep midrange
Durability & Ergonomics
- All core options create a highly durable system resistant to cracking and abrasion
- Kirinite's smooth surface provides a comfortable grip
- Core material fine-tunes flexibility and reduces hand fatigue during long sessions
Playability
- Kirinite's stiffness maintains precision in solos; the core material tailors flexibility and feel
- Low friction surfaces support fluid movements for sweep picking, fast arpeggios and smooth string transitions
