Titanium Jazz Guitar Pick with Grip Holes, Glow-in-the-Dark Material, Matte Finish

Handmade titanium pick with drilled holes and glow-in-the-dark material in the central part. The surface is matte finished on both sides.

Shape: Attack Jazz
Dimensions: Length: 25mm, Width: 22mm, Thickness: 2mm

Handcrafted plectrum (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.

Titanium is the perfect choice for guitarists looking for:

• Indestructible durability – a plectrum “for life”,
• Expressive, metallic sound with controlled sharpness,
• Lightness and precision in techniques requiring a fast attack (metal, progressive rock).

For whom?

• Lovers of alternative sounds, experimenting with metal materials,
• Stage guitarists who need a tool resistant to extreme conditions,
• Perfectionists who value the combination of design and functionality.

1. Basic properties of Grade 2 titanium

• Material: Titanium Grade 2 is pure commercial titanium (99% Ti), considered one of the most ductile and versatile titanium alloys.
• Mechanical strength: High tensile strength (~345 MPa) at low weight (density 4.5 g/cm³), making it lighter than steel or brass.
• Corrosion resistance: Excellent - does not rust, even when exposed to sweat or moisture.
• Elasticity: Moderate stiffness with good resistance to deformation - does not break, but may bend slightly under pressure.

2. Effects on sound

• Tone: Titanium Grade 2 gives the sound a bright, metallic character with a distinct high-frequency boost, but softer than steel or brass.
• Attack: Precise and fast, with a distinct “puncture” of the strings, ideal for metal riffs or fast solos.
• Tone: Despite its metallic nature, the plasticity of Grade 2 makes the sound less aggressive than harder titanium alloys (e.g. Grade 5).

3. Durability

• Indestructibility: Titanium Grade 2 is resistant to abrasion and cracking – the plectrum will survive years of intense play while maintaining its sharp edges.
• String Protection: Titanium’s smooth surface minimizes string wear, unlike sharper materials like steel.

4. Playability (playing comfort)

• Stiffness: The plectrum is stiff, but not excessively hard - it allows for control over the dynamics, without the feeling of “wooden” inflexibility.
• Slipperiness: A smooth surface often requires an additional textured structure (e.g. embossing) for a better grip.
• Ergonomics: The lightness of titanium reduces hand fatigue, even during long sessions.

5. Comparison with other materials

• Vs. steel/brass: Titanium Grade 2 is lighter and less aggressive on the strings, with a warmer tone.
• Vs. plastic (Delrin, nylon): Provides more attack and durability, but loses in terms of warmth and “organic” sound.
• Vs. higher grades of titanium (e.g. Grade 5): Grade 2 is more malleable, which translates to a less harsh sound and more comfort.

If you haven’t found in my offer the plectrum you are looking for and you need a guitar pick of an unusual shape, size and thickness, don’t hesitate to ask. I am open to custom orders :)

Thank you for stepping by.
