“True Customs” bespoke plectrums
Many of my most popular designs are now directly for sale in my online shop, the procedure described here concerns picks customised for individual players.
True Custom Picks ordering process - overview
Ordering Process - step by step
Step 1
Unless you already have something specific in mind the first step for me is to find out what kind of picks you play/like/dislike and how and what kind of music and instruments you play. Some of the things i will need to know:
- stiff, medium or soft picks ?
- thick or rather thin ?
- guitars you have/play
- kind of strings
- styles of musicĀ you play
- How much do you play (h/day or h/week/month) ?
- do you play aggressively or softly ?
- personalized decoration/engraving (initials/band logo) ?
… and anything else that’s on your mind
With that information i would recommend one or several of my designs and materials best suited for you to choose from.
Step 2
Once we agreed on a design i will need a bit of info about your finger size and how you hold your pick and what exactly you want from the pick, some people have specific problems they want to address and different people have different likes/dislikes in terms of tip shape, flex, grip texture, shape, size .. etc. This will allow me to spec the size and ergonomic adjustments so the pick will ‘feel right’ in your hand.
Step 3
If you want to personalize the decoration of the pick (engraving or artwork with logo) you can submit ideas/pictures/sketches and i will see how they can be adapted. At this point however not everything is possible, the point of my pick designs and the complicated manufacturing process is to make the best possible picks in terms of playability and sound so there is a limit to what can be done in decoration (especially with typography) without compromising the playing quality of the pick.
Step 4
You get the final quote for the pick(s) in your order. If you want to go ahead and order you can then pay either via Paypal or bank transfer. Since this is now a custom pick order to your personal specification I do not currently offer a money back return policy once you have paid.
Step 5
Once I received the payment your pick(s) go into production and are usually shipped within a week.
