D'Addario Celluloid Guitar Picks – Guitar Accessories – Guitar Picks for Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar – Natural Feel, Warm Tone – Assorted, Light 0.50mm, 10-pack

Description

One of the first polymers ever created, cellulose nitrate
is made by reacting cotton fibers with nitric acid. Cellulloid was substituted
for natural toroise shell picks in the early 1900s and is still one of the
most popular pick materials available today. They are available in a wide
variety of thicknesses, shapes, and colors, and provide a natural feel and
warm, fat tone. From the Manufacturer D’Addario/Planet Waves Guitar Picks
Guitar picks may seem like a simple tool but with varying materials, shapes
and colors to choose from, D’Addario/Planet Waves has made it easier than ever
to help you find the right pick for your playing style. The following guide
will help you differentiate between varying shapes, materials and tonal
characteristics. Pick Shape: D’Addario/Planet Waves offers three different
pick shapes, each having their own advantages: Standard – Perfect for picking
or strumming, the standard shape is by far the most popular as it offers
enough area for a firm grip but also has more defined tip for good note
articulation. Many players also turn the pick around and use the rounder edge
for a softer attack and warmer tone. Wide – Wide picks are easy to hold and
offer multiple picking areas by simply rotating the pick as one edge begins to
wear. Jazz – Jazz shaped picks like our Black Ice Picks are the ultimate for
pick control and articulation. The small size and sharp shaped tip allows the
pick to have a fast response and bright tone with excellent note definition.
This pick is a favorite among jazz, progressive rock and metal guitarists.
Pick Material & Tone: Try this experiment. Take some picks of different
material and drop them onto a counter top. Notice how they all sound different
when they hit the counter. The same rules apply when they strike a string as
well. The material and thickness that your pick is made out of can have a
dramatic effect on your overall tone. Classic and Pearl Celluloid – Celluloid
is one of the most popular guitar pick materials today. Available in a wide
variety of shapes, colors and thicknesses, celluloid is known for providing a
natural feel and warm, fat tone. A man-made material, celluloid was first
introduced in the early 1900’s as a substitute for natural tortoise shell
picks. Our Pearl Celluloid Assortments are a top-selling choice. Duralin –
Duralin is a unique material with an extraordinary combination of strength,
stiffness, dimensional stability, fatigue resistance and low friction.
Normally used as a replacement for metal bushings and bearings in industrial
applications, this extremely durable polymer is ideal for picks. Duralin picks
are known for their bright clicking sound when hitting strings and are
preferred by many soloists for their clear articulation on fast single note
passages. Cortex – Cortex picks are precision molded to eliminate grain
structures, allowing for dynamic pick response. This unique material closely
resembles actual tortoise shell in feel and sound yet offers high strength,
durability and heat resistance. Cortex long lasting picks offer excellent
attack with a clean, crisp tone for superior note definition, allowing notes
to leap from your strings. Attack, control, clarity and durability…Cortex
Picks! Nylflex – Inspired by the revered nylon picks of the 50’s and 60’s, the
D’Addario/Planet Waves Nyflex is the first nylon pick to capture the flexible
feel, warm tone and molded grip pattern of the original, delivering an
authentic, vintage playing experience in its entirety. Now you can finally
experience the feel and tone that was so eagerly sought out by now Hall of
Fame guitarist during the birth of rock-n-roll. Nylflex, the modern pick for
vintage tone! Cellu-Glo – D’Addario/Planet Waves puts a new twist on celluloid
picks. Now you can still have the natural feel and warm fat tone of celluloid
in a “glow in the dark” pick. Simply pre-charge the picks in natural sunlight
or under a light bulb and you have a pick that not only sounds great but looks
great too. The Cellu-Glo picks add a new visual element to your playing and
are also easy to find on dark stages. Experiment and have fun with the tonal
variations that can be achieved by simply changing your pick. In fact, many
guitarists and studio musicians will use different materials depending the
guitar and style that they are playing. Specialty and Artist Picks:
