[zepled112]

what kind of guitar is that



[nancylanesmith]

It is a custom made guitar from Jason Schroeder in Redding California.

@zepled112 that body shape was originally by paul reed smith (PRS) guitars and you should look them up, the tone is kind of a strat les paul hybrid.

I love this guitar!

Hey Vinni I know that's a no-no in the guitar world but what are your thoughts on a metal pick?

[nancylanesmith]

I have tried them. They kind of dig up the front of my guitar.

I recently discovered a great new innovative guitar pick that doesn't drop from you hand!! Comes in different thicknesses. check out their video. "wing pick demonstration" If you have an issue dropping your picks,.. these are it!! They are really quite cool.

@bagelisdelish I have used v-picks for a LONG time now, but the difference between one of the rounded v-picks and a normal pick (such as a gator grip, which I actually tried to use for a jam session once) is huge. You can't just switch picks willy nilly and expect to play the same, it takes time to get used to using a new pick. Considering he's switching between them, AND he no doubt plays his own picks more than anything else, I'm sure it would be hard to switch between them and play the same.

@TheRandomness36 If you're using thin picks for acoustic you're missing out.

Jazz picks are usually thick and for a reason.

Thicker picks = warmest tone, and most speed, on any guitar, acoustic or not.

[TheRandomness36]

@MiniDaab Thin plastic is better for acoustic yes you could use it for electric guitars

but its better for acoustic guitars :P like the best for acoustic

[MiniDaab]

@TheRandomness36 I am calling the dunlop pick he compares the v-pick with here, a thin plastic pick.

I was stating that this comparison would only make sense if he compared the v-pick with a pick of the same thickness or at least more than the .86? that he's using here.

Also, all picks are for all guitars.

I'm switching between picks of 2.0mm and 3.5mm for my acoustic, use the same ones for electric.

It's whatever you prefer.

[TheRandomness36]

@MiniDaab Ahahaha i dont know about guitars but you are wrong sir

Thin Plastic picks are for acoustic

and hard picks are for E guitars

[MiniDaab]

V-Picks are great, but this comparison is rediculous.

Thin plastic picks that bend are gonna sound like shit ofcourse.

If he had compared it to a dunlop 2.0 that would have made sense.

If you haven't tried V-Picks yet, do yourself a favor and pick some up. They're worth every penny.
