This is what this pick looked and felt like back when they first started making V-PICKS...
This pick used to be drawn on a piece of material with a Sharpie marker, then cut out by hand using a Dremel or hack saw. Then a grinder would be used to get it close to the desired size. A kid named Jacko used to clean the auto repair shop at night... he would take the picks to high school for the designer and he would buff them out in shop class. They've come a long way in the production process since then!

The Ghost Rim model V-PICKS is an option of manufacture that gives you a wonderful, unique, and very musical "ghostly whisper" to your pick attack. It can be used to tame down a very aggressive attack and yet, if you change your technique just a bit, you can get that cool Brian May, Ed King, Billy Gibbons effect and sound! It can deliver a hush effect much like a violin bow, or bark like you are using a coin as a plectrum.

If you do not like the chirp a thick pick can sometimes make, then the Ghost Rim option is for YOU! Extra time is taken to expertly and masterfully grind this pick. This is not an easy process and takes years to learn to do it correctly. So much care is taken because the pick does not go thru the last stage of flame buffing. The flame can hide a multitude of sins, so they have to make sure these are precisely made to their exacting specifications. This pick is very organic feeling, looking and sounding.
