I'm not a guitar player, but I'd guess you could buy as lot of plectrums for $34.95

Wow, local bars here are always cutting up fake id cards. I should give them one of those and ask for the pics and sell them online at 10 for 2 bucks. LOL.

Explanation to the above. This is a college and university town. Multiples, but 2 big ones. So we have 400,000 people and 50,000 transitory students. They come and go every year.

The drinking age is 19. The youngest students, (every one gets a residence room guaranteed for the 1st year), are 17. They make great fake ID's. The bars have machines, scanners, but at the end of the day the crush at 11:30 p.m. makes it hard to grab them all.

So to see 80 a week in the places I installed computerized scanners is nothing. Monday they cut them in 1/2. Hmmm....

Just make sure no proprietary information is on them...!

I do this all the time -with a pair of scissors to cut to my own shape and size.
I smooth the edges by rubbing on a piece of carpet or some other rough material. Also I put a piece of double sided sticky tape on to prevent slipping, or I punch a couple of holes through where I hold it.
Credit cards are also good for scraping clean saucepans etc. -and getting you into serious debt!!!
How are you all -keeping well I hope.

Mark.

I'd like one, but the price does seem a little excessive for what it is.

tin snips work even on the most durable and thick plastic... also on thin aluminum or light gauge steel. Just use one "real" pick as a tracing template, then cut to your heart's content. Use emery or sandpaper to smooth the edges.

I like Mark's ideas of using double sided tape and punching holes to make his picks easier to hold onto. I put velcro on my picks, then wear a velcro ring around my thumb. Works, but it looks stupid and feels clumsy. Mark's ideas are both simpler. (Thanks Mark!)
