January 1, 2024: We have switched all our products to offering only right-handed speed bevels. This is the industry standard, and customization really slows down our processes. If you prefer any customized options, please see our note and pricing in the checkout box.
 
Long story.  The short version is this. We found a couple of sheets of this stunning material way back in 2016 and bought every sheet we could find. Then we ran out and couldn't find any more. 
 
We spent more than three years scouring the planet for more and couldn't find any. Finally, in 2022, we struck paydirt. We found a few more sheets halfway around the world and DHL'd them directly to us here in California. I doubt we'll find any more. 
 
These particularly models are (still) mostly fabricated mostly by hand, much to our chaigrin, so please allow approximately three weeks for your picks to ship. Thank You!
 
I must say one more thing. Everyone in the boutique world says their picks "sound like tortoise shell." Well, they can't ALL sound like genuine TS, can they? I bought the last TS picks from McCabes Guitars in 1977, after CITES went into effect. That's  more than 45 years ago, folks. I've been playing TS picks longer than most of my competitors have been alive. And guess what? These really DO sound like tortoise shell picks. I'll stake my reputation on it.   
 
This pick comes with FREE SHIPPING to your door.
 
Thanks for looking,
Scott
 
We call this gorgeous casein color "flame." At 1.15 mm thick, this particular model lis one of the most popular products in our entire catalog -- and this series, the artisan flame casein line-up, is the most popular line in our company. They are universally praised by all our players. This is the closest material in tone and feel to genuine tortoise shell. Yeah, I know, everyone says that. Do this. Play this against everyone else who says that, and you be the judge. 
 
What does it sound like? Warm, quiet, balanced, smooth and supple. That's what our customers tell us, and we've sold thousands of these. Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. We can't make these fast enough. 
 
Includes FREE SHIPPING, and backed by the best warranty/return policy in the pick industry -- 35 days, no questions asked.
