[Charm of classic tortoiseshell pattern and celluloid]
As the name "T-SHELL" suggests, it uses a classic pattern reminiscent of tortoiseshell. This model allows you to enjoy the texture of an old-fashioned guitar pick while enjoying the playing feel of celluloid, which PICKBOY has been particular about since its founding.
Celluloid is a classic material with a unique flexibility and warm tone. It has a good grip on the strings and is a material that can be easily incorporated into a variety of playing styles.
[Teardrop shape allows for detailed picking]
The teardrop type is a standard shape with a slightly pointed tip. It is easy to control the angle at which you hit the strings and the strength of your picking, making it suitable not only for chord strokes but also for those who want to perform detailed picking such as single notes and lead plays.
[Choose from 4 different thicknesses]
0.50mm｜Thin
A light feel that takes advantage of the flexibility. Suitable for those who want to soften the contact with the strings with a focus on the stroke.
0.75mm｜Medium
Thickness that makes it easy to balance strokes and single note playing. Suitable for those who want to handle a wide range of performances with a single disc.
1.00mm｜Heavy
More solid feel than 0.75mm. Suitable for those who want to emphasize picking controllability, as well as for single-note playing and lead play.
1.20mm｜Heavy
This type is the thickest of the four types and has the least amount of bending. Suitable for those who want a more direct picking feeling with a firm grip on the strings.
