PICKBOY Archive Series｜Devil Boy
From Sunset Blvd., LA — Back on Your Stage.
In the early 1990s, PICKBOY had an office on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, on the upper floor of the legendary live house "Whisky a Go Go."
A graphic, avant-garde pick that gives you a feel of the music culture that was born from the guitar culture of the time, such as street art, tattoo culture, and heavy metal. The original designs created in that era are now being developed as the PICKBOY Archive Series.
"Devil Boy" is a model of the Archive Series with impressive graphics. The unique design combines PICKBOY's original material "Celtex" with a teardrop shape and a thickness of 0.75mm.
[Celtex x Teardrop 0.75mm]
The material is PICKBOY's original material "Celtex".
Celltex is characterized by being extremely light, sticky, and difficult to scrape. In the official product description, the material is described as being relatively soft to the touch and suitable for mid to high frequency ranges. A unique feature of Celltex is that it feels comfortable in the hand.
This model is 0.75mm. PICKBOY's thickness classification is Medium (0.6 to 0.8 mm), which is suitable for those who want to play with just the right amount of flexibility, neither too thin nor too thick.
[Teardrop shape controls the tip]
The teardrop shape is a classic shape that makes it easy to grasp the position of the tip. It makes it easy to try out a variety of playing methods, from chord strokes to single notes, and is also suitable for those who want to be conscious of the tip of the pick and have fine control.
The combination of the moderate bend of 0.75mm and the teardrop shape is suitable for those who want to enjoy both chords and single notes in a well-balanced manner. It is also recommended for those who want to find the thickness that suits them based on the playing comfort of Medium.

[Reasons for choosing 0.75mm]
0.75mm is Medium in PICKBOY's thickness classification. It will be easier to compare the differences in thickness by using Thin if you are looking for a lighter flex, and Heavy if you are looking for a response with less flex.
Even if the shape and material are the same, the playing feel will change depending on the thickness. First, use 0.75mm as a reference, and try playing chord strokes or single notes to see which feel suits you.
