Sethgeist Signature Teardrop Guitar Pick – Ultem Outer, PEEK, UHMWPE or Torlon Core

Guitar pick signature by talented Mexican metal guitarist Sethgeist from the Culminated band.

Consisting of three layers: two external Ultem and one internal core of your choice — black PEEK, black UHMWPE, green UHMWPE or Torlon 4203, with the logo embedded between the layers. A very comfortable, extremely durable and great-sounding guitar plectrum.

~ Important! The price is for a single piece ~

Shape & Dimensions

Teardrop
Length: 37mm, Width: 27mm
Thickness: 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10mm

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.

Choose Your Core

PEEK core (black): Provides rigidity preventing the plectrum from bending. Bright, clear attack with excellent note separation. Best for: metal, shredding, fast technical passages.

UHMWPE core (black or green): Exceptional abrasion resistance and low friction. Adds elasticity and dampens high frequencies for a warmer, more balanced tone. Best for: blues, alternative rock, chord playing.

Torlon 4203 core: The ultimate core for demanding players. Ultra-strong PAI with the highest mechanical resistance among thermoplastics. Combines rigidity with controlled vibration absorption — reduces metallic sharpness while maintaining precision. Best for: extreme metal, progressive, demanding studio sessions.

Layered Construction Properties

1. Durability:

• Ultem (outer layers): protects the core from impacts
• Core material: provides rigidity and tonal character of your choice
• Combined effect: a plectrum for those who value comfort without giving up precision

2. Sound:

• Ultem + PEEK: Soft start with dynamic push from the core; warm mids, controlled highs
• Ultem + UHMWPE: Warmer, rounder tone; enriched midrange and bass with organic feel
• Ultem + Torlon 4203: Precise attack with reduced metallic sharpness; rich midrange and stable bass

3. Ergonomics:

• Ultem’s soft grip reduces slippage, even with sweaty fingers
• Core material keeps strings in control, preventing sound from “smearing”

Summary: This configuration is aimed at players who value comfort and warmth of sound, with core options ranging from warm to ultra-precise.

Material Properties

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone):

• Hardness: high (similar to hard metal)
• Stiffness: extreme — virtually zero deflection
• Chemical resistance: sweat resistant
• Attack: aggressive and fast with a metallic “ping” in high notes
• Timbre: bright, clear with excellent note separation

UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene):

• Exceptional abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction
• Good vibration absorption — warm, round tone
• Smooth string glide for fast strumming and fluid transitions

Torlon 4203 (PAI – Polyamide-imide):

• Highest mechanical resistance among thermoplastics (above 270°C)
• Rigidity with controlled vibration absorption — reduces metallic sharpness
• Resistant to creep and deformation under load

Ultem (Polyetherimide, PEI):

• Hardness: medium (between nylon and PEEK)
• Elasticity: moderate, slightly elastic
• Attack: balanced — clear but not exaggerated in high tones
• Timbre: neutral with a slight boost of mid-tones — universal
