Why Fender Are The Best!!!

Postby petercreasey » Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:32 am

Heres a quote from the pack of a new pack of picks I just bought:-

True to the Fender tradition of thoughtful experimentation, the Tortuga pick is designed with player’s performance in mind. Crafted from Ultem® and an exclusive blend of nuanced tone-warming magic, these picks produce a slightly warmer tone than their pure Ultem counterparts.

In addition to being more responsive, each pick bears a unique tortoiseshell pattern— thanks to the extrusion process. This Fender exclusive pick material is available in various shapes and thicknesses to cater to players of all styles who are looking for that distinctive playing edge.

They must have signed up Harry Potter in their research department :lol: :lol:

"...unique tortoiseshell pattern..."

Surely those imitation tortoises are protected by CITES!

Very amusing, but……..!!!

Quoting from "The Shadows by Themselves", as edited by Mr Royston Ellis, Hank B Marvin says:-

"Personally, I find I play better when I have got a fairly new plectrum with a good point. For that reason I use a new plectrum every day. By experimenting, you
will find which plectrum is most suitable for your style. Just recently, we have started having our own plectrums made for us. Soon, if they are not already on sale,
these plectrums will be obtainable through any music shop. End of commercial!".


M' lud I rest my (guitar) case.

Kindest regards, (with tongue firmly in cheek),
