Murph Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Almost. However, it didn't get worked a lot until the last year or so. But you'd think a mandolin would shred one up pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yep. They do not wear out. Take another picture just like this in another 10 years and it will look the same. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 how does anyone keep one pick for 10 years? I leave em all over the place, and many of them wind up in my dryer, which I'm not convinced that these didn't actually enter the dryer as socks....

kidblast Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Me either. My BB King and LP sit in there stands and watch me play my D-28, D-18 and J12-16GT and get jealousy. I have even been toying with selling the LP for another acoustic. I want an acoustic with maple back and sides. I have the Sitka Spruce top with Hog and Rosewood thing covered. BB King will never go anywhere except to my son with I leave this planet. I smell a j200 Let me tell ya,, I know they are a big hit cost wise, but holy -***@$ it's an amazing guitar..

Murph Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yep. They do not wear out. Take another picture just like this in another 10 years and it will look the same. Good stuff. I ordered a TD40 yesterday. I really like the 35 but everything else I use is 1.0 which is about 40, so wanted to see how that works out. I still think the Wegens are "faster", but they also feel less dense and therefore seem to have less tone. But, that changes a lot with micing, using pickups and stuff too.....

Murph Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 how does anyone keep one pick for 10 years? Pay $ 40.00 bucks for one. You'll know where it is AT ALL TIMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I've never been in a store that had one and probably never will, and I certainly do not have that kind of money to get a new one even if I do sell the LP. Plus I'm a CFM guy. Just sadly they don't really do maple boxes. What are they over 5k new? I like guitars, but I like to eat too. Yea. They are over 5k these days. Since 2016 the price has increased by about 1k. Which is Crazy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livemusic Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Pay $ 40.00 bucks for one. You'll know where it is AT ALL TIMES. Not me. I bought one, lost it within days. Bought another, lost it within days. That did me in. How the heck do you lose a $40 pick? A mystery still today. I carried it in my pocket. I keep thinking one will surface, hidden from view in a guitar case or somewhere all this time. For the past year or so, been using Dunlop Prime Tone picks. Much less expensive and I like them a lot. I have been using a leather keychain pouch and it's worked to not lose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Why does one need a guitar pick in the pocket at all times? I don't understand.....expecting to encounter a stray guitar on the street? There are three places I keep a pick: in my hand while playing, under the strings on a break or on the corner of the desk with the capo & tuner when doing a string change. Never have I lost a pick, not a one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’ve been using the TD45 that Stu sent me for a long time and it’s not exhibiting any signs of wear at all. Astonishing, especially as I often shred a Tortex in one gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have I lost a pick, not a one. To have never lost a pick affords you membership in a pretty exclusive club, IMO (and not meant argumentative). I don't even consider myself absent minded and have lost a rather impressive list of things in my life. I have an old wooden box, about cigar size, in the room where we usually play when there's a gathering. It is a combination of lost and found/penny bowl at the convenience store. Some of the regulars throw three or four of their favorite type and gauge in (usually taken out of their pockets) on a regular basis just in case one were to go flying through the night/dropped/left in the bathroom or fridge, etc. Edit: Congratulations on the milestone w/the Blue Chip Murph! One of these days I'm going to give one try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
