PICKBOY Archive Series｜Skull
From Sunset Blvd., LA — Back on Your Stage.
PICKBOY Archive Series "Skull" is a guitar pick that develops the original design created by PICKBOY in the early 1990s as an archive that was actually manufactured and stored at the time.
At the time, PICKBOY had an office above the legendary live house "Whisky a Go Go" on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and created graphic picks that reflected the guitar culture of the 1990s, such as street art, tattoo culture, and skulls that symbolized heavy metal.
The Archive Series is not a reprint, but an archive of original designs that were actually produced in that era and have been carefully preserved. This is a highly collectable series that lets you feel the history of PICKBOY and the guitar culture surrounding rock and metal at the time.
Lightness and stickiness unique to Celltex
The material is PICKBOY original material.Celltexadopted. It is characterized by being extremely light, sticky, and difficult to scrape. The material is not only designed for hardness, but is also soft to the touch and feels comfortable in the hand.
Celtex is available in thicknesses from 0.75mm to 1.00mm, but this product "Skull" is0.75mm. The thickness of PICKBOY falls into the Medium category, and it is thick enough to allow you to try out a wide range of playing methods, from chords to single notes, while still feeling just the right amount of flexibility.
Teardrop shape × 0.75mm
The shape isteardrop. The standard shape makes it easy to grasp the position of the tip, making it easy to check the direction of the pick, and making it easy to use for a variety of performances, from chord strokes to single notes.
Moderate bending of 0.75mmandTeardrop ease of handlingIt is suitable for those who want to feel the flexibility of the pick while playing, rather than the hard response of a thick pick.
Recommended for these guitarists
- Those who want to use a medium pick of about 0.6 to 0.8 mm
- Those who want to try both chord strokes and single notes on one piece
- Those who prefer the standard teardrop shape
- Those who want to try the light and sticky feel of Celltex
- For those who want to pay attention not only to the playing comfort but also to the historical design of PICKBOY.
- Those looking for a pick with a skull design that allows you to feel the rock and metal guitar culture
If you are looking for a thinner, more supple touch, or if you are looking for a stronger feel and less bending, we recommend comparing picks with different thicknesses. PICKBOY advises that it is easier to check the difference in playing comfort by trying the same shape and material but with different thickness.
