Teardrop Guitar Pick – Layered PEEK ULTEM Plectrum

Handmade triple layer guitar pick consisting of two external natural PEEK layers and one internal Ultem core. Several thicknesses to choose from. Logo stickers on both sides improve grip — UV-printed for a slightly rough, durable surface. A very comfortable, durable and great-sounding gift for a guitarist.

~ Important! The price is for a single piece ~

Shape & Dimensions

Teardrop
Length: 37mm, Width: 27mm, 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.

Layered Construction Properties

1. Resilience:

• PEEK (outer layers): protects the core from wear, scratch and deformation
• Ultem (core): acts as a shock absorber, reducing vibrations transferred to the fingers

2. Sound:

• Attack: clear and fast (thanks to PEEK) with slight smoothing of the highs by Ultem
• Timbre: controlled highs without harshness, clear mid tones with natural reverberation, low tones slightly enhanced by Ultem
• Best for: universal playing — progressive rock, fusion, where both precision and musicality are needed

3. Ergonomics:

• Ultem core provides minimal impact cushioning, reducing hand fatigue over long sessions
• Smooth PEEK surface provides comfortable glide across the strings

Material Properties

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone):

• Hardness: high (similar to hard metal)
• Abrasion resistance: close to Torlon
• 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

Ultem (Polyetherimide, PEI):

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