zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Combine the clean sound of a metal pick with the grip of a plastic pick. This pick features a contoured plastic grip and a curved wire that picks the string.

The Wirething(R) Guitar Pick is a new invention that features a smooth curved wire that picks the string, embedded in an injection molded textured and contoured plastic grip. This gives guitarists the precise clean sound of a metal pick, plus the easy grip, control, and light weight of a plastic pick. The invention has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 5,894,097.

Wire Features:
.035 in. diameter steel or copper-alloy wire

Precision-formed for consistent production

Micro-smooth polished finish for reduced string wear

Spring-tempered for extra-long life and durability

Stainless steel wire: This is some of the hardest wire available today -- the smooth no-scratch finish will be easier on your guitar strings than conventional metal picks.

Copper wire: This custom-fabricated copper-beryllium alloy wire is extremely hard, and will not be magnetically attracted to electric guitar pickups.

Grip Features:
Injection-molded acrylic or nylon

Contoured for thumb shape -- improves grip and comfort

Textured for no-slip control

Invention Features:
U.S. Patent No. 5,894,097

Designed and engineered in the USA

Invented by multi-instrumentalist Ken Barry

Clear Acrylic/Copper Wire
Beautiful crystal-clear acrylic with space-age custom fabricated copper-beryllium alloy wire. The copper wire has the advantage that it won't be magnetically attracted to electric guitar pickups.

"The Wirething(R) guitar pick can give guitar players better control, and a different range of sounds and dynamics read more than regular plastic picks," according to Wirething(R) inventor and Interface Music Corporation president Kenneth Barry. "It could be a useful addition to any guitarist's pick collection."

Gene Bertoncini, guitarist formerly with the Johnny Carson Tonight Show Band, comments, "I love the pick. I definitely approve. It's got a nice warm but pointed attack." Danny Embrey, guitarist formerly with Sergio Mendes, states, "It has a real positive feel on the strings. It's easy to control, and I like the sound."

Ease of Use
i may never use another pick it is durable made my strat sound chunky and as for speedmetal picking it is the best & easiest to use pick i ever used in my 30 yrs playing. i used to use heavy tortex pix but i wore out or lost 20 of those a month. ive been playing with this pick for six months and cherish it so much i havent lost it even tho i used to throw my pick at the end of every jam. i dont wanna lose it so im ordering a couple more today

i would have spent at least $20 on picks so far this year but i spent $5 for this one which sounds as good now if not better than when i got it
The Wow Factor
