Hello guys! In this thread I'm happy announce that we have been working with Vonhotch to design my own Signature Picks series Invader. An the cool thing is that I can say that we are getting really close!!
Everything started months ago when I was Todd's thread at the site and I started to feel curious about this pics. I asked Vonhotch about this ones and he offered to send a few to try and maybe start designing my signature ones if I like them. After a week I received at my home this two models:  As soon as I tried them I've fallen in love with the left one. I was used to play Dunlop Sharp 1.5 but in this case, because of the material used I felt much more comfortable with the less sharp model. It is was very close to perfection for me. I could get a very precise picking and a very defined tone for high speed but also good dynamics for slower playing. I feel comfortable playing both rhythms and solos so I said him that I wanted to go for my custom series! The big difference that I found between these ones and the ones that I'm used to use is that mines are bigger so I asked Vonhotch to design a pick simlar to the first model but that were bigger. So the journey started and after some  I received this one this week:  I just used it yesterday at home and later playing with Cirse for a online show. It awesome how comfortable I feel in just some hours... I will continue this story and also post samples but the next step is to get the final version with the colour that I've chosen.  -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (vonhotch @ Nov 13 2013, 11:10 PM) Great idea on documenting the process! I'm really proud of this one. It is gonna be really cool. It has been an honor to get to work with you, as well as Todd, and Cosmin. Todd's pick is coming along well too, and is really cool! Here is a sample of the color, that Gab has picked. Love this green.  I love this colour! It's so cool, Can't wait to have my green pick on my hands.

I just can talk great things about these picks. I feel more comfortable, I get a brighter tone, tighter playing, more dynamic possibilities. Every person that I show the pick, tries it, and wants one. Cirse's other guitarist already asked me about getting one. He liked the first model that I received. (left in the first pick). QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Nov 14 2013, 09:26 PM) Nice!!! It's the same color as my new BC Rich Gunslinger!!! A fine choice And you can see them easily on a dark stage which will come in handy!! Having tried to use black plastic picks live, I've never tried that again. They disappear as soon as the house lights go out hehehe I didn't think on this when I chose the colour, but it's a good thing to have in mind. Sometimes I even lose my fretboard when light turn off. -------------------- My lessons
