Hehe yeah ! Isn't that thing from that old Jason and the Argonauts movie, where he scatters dragon's teeth on the ground ? I could be getting mixed up and they may not be dragon's teeth at all... tongue.gif


It's an old legend but yeah it's the same thing they did in the Argonaut film! Good pull!

I like the dragons teeth pick idea, we should make them breath fire too, would be a nice show effect :-)

Thanks smile.gif The breathing fire is a nice touch! I'm thinking I'm gonna have to have some of these made by Clayton picks. They do custom designs of just about anything.

Buying sharp objects from Israel ? I'm surprised the customs officials let it into Germany ! biggrin.gif

Sure, here is the link:

www.stone-guitar-picks.com/

I am using stone picks since more than 20 years now, but I always found it difficult to find good ones, until I found this place. He makes great picks for good prices, in the moment he is even doing some custom picks for me. I love the tone that stone picks give me, they absolutely don't wear out (I still have my very fist stone pick which I bought around 1990, you don't see ANY traces of my playing, and I have been using this pick exclusivly for most of those 22 years!) and most important: they feel perfect for me. Definitely check his work out if you are interested, it is worth it!

PS: After 20 years with the regular shape I just went back to the Jazz III shape, I will post some pics later.

That depends on the pick, bad ones with sharp edges might affect your strings, good ones won't. I can't even remember when I broke my last string, I guess it was sometime during our Night at the opera tour, which was in 2002/2003, so much for harming your strings with a good stone pick ;-)

Along this line, I"ve been using V-Pics (Switchblade "Buffed") which the owner made just for me then very kindly agreed to share with the world on his web site. And then I tried the Vpick Switchblade BLACK which I had VInni cut to a very fine point. These are current fave. 1.5 MM thick and zero flex which I prefer quite a bit for precision work. I'm very interested in these stone picks so I'm going to have to order some! Here is the SWITCHBLADE BLACK custom sharp.
