Torlon, PEEK Guitar Pick – Leaf Shape, Luminescent Inlay, High Performance Plectrum
Leaf is a guitar pick made of PEEK or Torlon with drilled holes and a glowing material placed in it. The material emits green light after exposure to light. Matt or glossy surface to choose from (please let me know when placing an order).
Very comfortable, lightweight, durable and great sounding guitar plectrum.
~ Important! The price is for a single piece ~
Dimensions
30mm / 26mm / Thickness: 4mm, 5mm or 6mm
Craftsmanship
Handcrafted pick — sawn, carved, shaped and polished using workshop power tools.
The plectrum is non-standard thickness for a reason. A 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: PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
PEEK is recognized as one of the most versatile and efficient materials on the market, combining unique properties in a single material.
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
- Sound: bright, clear with excellent note separation
Material: Torlon (PAI)
Torlon is a material for perfectionists looking for indestructible durability, warm balanced sound, and precise control in technically demanding genres (progressive metal, fusion, jazz). An icon among premium materials — not for everyone, but in the hands of the right guitarist it becomes an irreplaceable tool.
Basic properties:
- Ultra-durable thermoplastic from the polyamide-imide (PAI) group
- Thermal resistance: above 270°C
- Highest mechanical strength among thermoplastics — resistant to abrasion, cracking, impacts and creep
- High stiffness with moderate vibration absorption — reduces metallic aftertaste
- Low density (~1.4 g/cm³) — lightweight despite thicker size
Sound characteristics:
- Timbre: warm, organic tone with emphasized midrange and deep bass
- Attack: precise, less "glassy" than PEEK — more muffled but clear
- Dynamic response: less analytical, more "musical" — ideal for blues, jazz, expressive genres
Durability:
- Virtually indestructible — lasts years even during intensive play
- Does not deform under pressure, moisture or time
- Minimizes string wear thanks to smooth surface and low friction
Playability:
- Very stiff — provides precise control over dynamics, ideal for shredding and tapping
- Smooth surface facilitates sweep picking and arpeggios
- Moderate vibration absorption reduces hand fatigue during long sessions
