2108.0. "Custom Made Picks" by SWAPIT::LOR () Wed Feb 13 1991 16:30

    
    Does anyone out there know where I can have nylon picks
    made to order that include my bands name?  Most of these
    pick places do not do custom printing on nylon....usually
    just plastic.
    
    I would appreciate any info in this matter.
    
    Thanks....

    Free catalog NRS, PO Box 70-s Kimberly, Wi 54136....  I've never talked
    with them.. but anyplace that's has a location named Kimberly should be
    OK... [;^)  Gree Vee is getting waaaaaaaaarm!!!   I was gonna have some

       If Kimberly can't cut it, let me know.  I've got connections...

       Like Greve says, there is some minimum order quantity, which I
       don't remember and can't look up just this moment.

	the stereo...

	Mr. Bill, didn't you see the fine print down at the bottom?  These
	guys don't offer printing on Jazz III's.  Actually, you wouldn't
	want to throw those away, anyway, right?  So you buy the cheapest
	picks you can stand to play for a few minutes, toss those out to
	the smiling blondes in the front, and pull your trusty Jazz III
	off of the pick quiver...

	Besides, Jazz IIIs only come in red, and maybe black.  But if your
	really want, I can order a nickel bag for you and write your name
	on 'em... *8')

    I know, but that's boring.  I'd like some Jazz IIIs in yellow,
    coral, or fushia!

    Hey Guitar Nuts,
    I just became aquainted with this notes file thanks to my friend Bob
    Shallow.  In the after hours of my life I have a very small guitar pick
    company.  I have a couple patents and have just finished my first run 
    of "Blues, Rock & Country Picks". 
    If anyone wants to try one on the house give me your address and I'll send
    a couple off to you.  Let me know what you think so we can make improvement
    I released the .72mm regular Fender type first because Fender told me it 
    was 70% of their sales but I personally like a smaller pick.  I play Jazz 
    and I like a closer contact to the guitar.  The jazz picks will be the next
    run I'll make.  (I've got a couple prototypes if only a few want a jazz
    pick.)  
    
    The thing that makes them different is a fulcrum "cross" that allows
    you to hold your pick lightly without dropping it.  It takes about
    3 sessions to get used to it and then you start holding the pick
    lightly and your arm relaxes.  This helped me play longer lines
    cleaner.  
    
    good to meet you guys. (and ladies?)

Anybody know where to get really big nylon picks?  I've been using Dunlop
black 1mm thingies and I like 'em except they're a little too short.  Dunlop
makes a Tortex pick that's the right size for me, but I hate the way it feels
and the way it hits the string.  If the black nylons were just one or two mm
taller, they'd be great.
