Those picks are gorgeous, I'd love to have a custom set done to that high a standard. Think the actual process is a bit beyond me, would end up burning my house down :shock: .

Very informative thanks for the info. Very nice handles.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
