Custom White Delrin Favorites

We pulled a few of our favorite picks this week that were printed on White Delrin. We get asked a lot if full color designs with lots of detail like

the pick that is covered with a background in this set if it would look best on acetal, delrin or pearl. It really just depends. If you are looking for a softer matte finish then the acetal would work great for your image. However if you have bright colors or are looking for a glossy look the white delrin would suite your needs. Sometimes we are surprised by the intricate [...]

Full Color Black Raven

Just wanted to give everyone an update on some of the amazing picks we are printing on our black raven material. We have been getting so many interesting designs, we can’t help but share these with everyone. All of the ones I selected today show all kinds of different shading, effects and detail. One of the hardest things to get to turn out on a pick are flesh tones. As you can see on the Krakshi pick we really got the realism of the hand. Plus all of the picks have incredible detail. If you are interested in purchasing some [...]

Byron Nemeth

Byron has just finished a brand new instrumental song entitled “Engines Of Thunder”. Stylistically it’s a “tip-of-the-hat” to the early Satriani & Hendrix vibe when there was strong emphasis on composition and lyrical soloing with catchy hooks and unique twists in the guitar playing.

“Engines Of Thunder” was recorded in Apple Logic Pro X with the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X QUAD using only the UA Marshall JMP 2203 and Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 plug-in’s for an amazing emulation of the legendary Marshall sound.

These plug-in’s are like recording with Vintage Gear because they deliver dead-on tones of the great [...]

A Perfect Pair!

Red and Black always seem to turn out flawless together. redblackThese are some that we just imprinted this week. This combination is one of the most popular color schemes that we imprint. The Cherry and IRAL pick is a good example of what kind of coverage of solid black we can imprint. We often get many orders with a solid black background and just a name or small logo on it. We usually do not accept this for imprinting because it tends [...]
