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
 
LAST FEW OF THESE TILL 2019!
 
We have a just a few of these left for 2018, then it will be next year before we have more. 
 
Please Note: "ss" stands for "soft strummer." For heavier picking, please go thicker. 
 
For over a year the nfr teardrop models have outsold everything else in our atalog by at least 3-to-1. For the first time, we are offering this model at a mere .90 mm thickness (.85mm -.95 mm, hand-finished range). We have also advanced a huge leap in the last six months in our polishing and fit and finish. These are now looking like blown glass -- and sound as good as they look.   
 
AVAILABILITY: We can never make our casein models fast enough. Demand has always outpaced supply for all our casein products. We target to fill these orders, first in, first out, at 5-10 days from time of order. Wish we could pedal faster, but we're a tiny artisan shop with impossibly high standards of perfection and playability. 
 
These usually go fast, but I can never predict it. Incredible tone coupled with drop-dead gorgeous looks.
