That was obnoxiously funny! Well, I put a few hours on it today and although it is a little pointier than I am used to it didn't take very long for me to adapt to it. I even posted a new Guess the Riff today that I used this pick on.
Pick scrapes with this thing are pure evil!
And sliding it across the higher strings that are not wound sounds pretty nice too, and so do pick taps!
Also my lady has already tried to steal it and make a necklace out of it.
On the downside though, I have already started seeing some wear on the edges from aggressive picking.
Nothing too bad yet but I can see the leading edges starting to kind of fold over to the other side.Whenever you start looking for new material you may want to go with the hardest series of alloy you can get your hands on, like a 2000 or 7000 series, or maybe even something in the 6000 series may work a bit better. So far it's not really a problem because this thing is plenty sharp, and after I abuse it a bit more I'll see if I can get my camera to focus on it better and try to get a good closeup and post a pic if you like.
Have you or Todd noticed anything like this in the way of wear and tear?
Actually I had noticed this little bit of edge roll on some of mine and have tried to fix it by leaving the edges a bit less sharp and a bit thicker. But as these continue to evolve I do not always nail the perfect edge on everyone yet. I am confident that as the pick wears and gets into the thicker material the edge will find it's "happy spot" and wear a bit slower, and the thin roll will wear off as well. Please let me know if it creates a problem or continues to wear excessively. And actually since you mention it new specifically known alloys will be being tested soon. (Thanks GregH)
I keep getting great feedback like this so I am working hard to beat out all the bugs. They will keep getting better and better, I promise.

Cool! Can't wait to get mine - I am curious how much abuse it takes to wear it down, hmmm..
Hopefully they show up soon! Mail is so slow!
