Saul Goodman Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) I picked up a "signature" pick at a concert maybe 10 years ago. I really liked that pick. It was a Jazz III, blue, 1mm. So I bought a pack of 10 from this asshole named Chris Letchford whose name was on the pick. And they were expensive as far as picks go. Very close in price to the V-Picks or the other such "custom" picks. So I didn't want to deal with this asshole again or pay the exorbitant price and started searching the web for a blue Jazz III 1.0 mm pick. But no one made them. Dunlop made it in a "XL Series" but it was like an hybrid style pick. Jazz III point but large like a regular pick. So I got other 1.0 picks from Dunlop Jazz III size. None of them felt the same whether it was tortex or the other materials. Nothing felt the same. The blue ones eventually wore out and I just threw them in a drawer. I ended up playing Dunlop Jazz III black tortex. I think. None of that really matters now because I found the company who made the "signature" picks for Chris Letchford. I'm not sure what they are made of or if the difference is just in the texture of how they make these things. But I looked through a magnifying glass at one of the Chris L picks that still had markings that hadn't worn off and through his custom graphics and signature I found the name. Only took me 10 years but the name of the company is InTune and the pick I like is GripX Jazz (XJJ). http://www.intunegp.com On the website I found the blue pick I wanted but I didn't need custom graphics. They have all kinds of options for that if that's what you're into. But I just wanted a plain pick that felt like the blue one from a decade ago. So I called. And believe it or not, someone answered the phone. A nice lady who told me to click the "Generic" option and then she said when the order comes through she'll adjust the price. I told her that wasn't what I was after I just wanted the picks. They were $46 shipped for 100 pieces. Seemed more than reasonable to me. But she did what she said she was going to do and got them to me for $26 for 100. And there you have it. 10 years in the making. Indeed. Get you some picks. (Not affiliated.)

geoff_hartwell Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Absolutely! Have been using them for years. Below are the custom 1mm sharp blue ones you also like but with my Name logo on one side and the bat signal on the other, a couple regular .88 moto white from when I was a Hamer endorsing artist, and the backside of a purple .88 from my band Soulshine:An Allman Brothers Experience complete with mushroom 🍄 logo haha. InTuneGP has always been an awesome company and super great people to deal with, Chrissy and Bert LeCato. 👍 8 1 Quote

hamerhead Posted February 27 Posted February 27 We always played the annual 'UFO Day' bash (named for saucers, not the band), so one year I had green picks with big Martian eyes on one side and the name 'Dick' on the other. Yeah....Alien Dick Pick. 2 Quote
