Legendary guitarist, Ed King, an original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, co-wrote the hit song “Sweet Home Alabama” And, it’s his voice you can hear counting off the tune before launching into his famous Stratocaster riff.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee 2006.
Ed has played with sea shells for over 30 years now. He has recently retired them and has chosen this V-Pick to play exclusively. It is a great honor to present to you and the world his new model…
You will receive his signature V-Pick on a card autographed by Ed King himself. Ed will personally sign each one. These are not copies! If you are a Lynyrd Skynyrd or Ed King fan, you will want one of these! You may want two. One to play with and the other to save and collect. I know I am going to put a few of them away for myself, for sure.
Ed King was VERY influential in my playing and career. Not only was his work instrumental in helping to shape my style and sound,

Ed has chosen this very model as his favorite V-Pick. I guess I got it right! I cannot tell you how much this means to me to have Ed in our corner playing V-Picks. Not only is he a fine guitarist and brilliant song writer, he is also a sweetheart of a guy.

So, again, it gives me great pleasure to present to you the Ed King V-PICK Signature Model.

V-Picks Billy Gibbons Signature Model

$8.00

Billy Gibbons Signature Model (Pick only)

Billy Gibbons Signature Model Guitar Pick by V-PICKS was designed with and for Billy Gibbons in the V-PICKS shop here in Nashville.

If you are a ZZ Top fan or if you know one, then check this out!  Billy Gibbons now plays the V-PICKS Tradition Lite Ghost Rim guitar pick!  It sports Billy’s likeness that his tech Elwood Francis drew for him.  We leave it unbuffed on the edges (Ghost Rim) for that snap, growl and attitude.

I do want to say a couple of words about this man.  One time we were having lunch together.  He noticed two people at another table that recognized him but did not want to interrupt his lunch.  He excused himself, walked across the room, handed each of them a ZZ Top key ring, shook their hands and then came back to finish his meal.  THAT is just one of the many reasons he is still on top!  He is one of the coolest guys I know.  When you talk to Billy, he listens to every word you say.  He then reacts to every word you say.  He is a real, kind, smart, caring person.

Billy Gibbons plays this model. This is the Ghost Rim Version for that Ghostly Whisper.
The Ghost Rim model V-Pick 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 sometime make, then the Ghost Rim option is for YOU!

First we take extra time to expertly and masterfully grind the pick. We have this method down to an art. This is not easy 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 we have to make sure these are precisely made to our exacting specifications. I first started making picks like this in 1980. V-PICKS are the FIRST and ORIGINAL company to make this product available to you. We invented this idea of making picks and we excel above all the rest in doing so. All of my personal picks have been Ghost Rim or “unbuffed” picks. The Tradition series was born out of requests by some of our artists asking for a guitar pick shaped like what they have been used to playing for the last 40 years. This is it! For all of you old dogs out there, you will LOVE this pick. More volume, better tone, and you will not drop this guitar pick! It will cling to your fingers when your body temperature warms it up. NO MORE DROPPED PICKS!!! The Lite is 1.5mm. No flex at all. Great for electric or acoustic playing. Lead or rhythms. Also a great mandolin pick. Once you play this pick, you will realize you have been leaving a lot of sound inside your instrument. So if you want a pick that is like your Fender Extra Heavy on Steroids, this is the pick for you! It really packs a punch!

This is a very full spectrum pick, both in feel and tone. Basically cut the same shape and size as our SwitchBlade with an added hole in the middle for feel and mojo. The attack is precise and intentional. Lots of bright high end, and yet gives a great bottom end sound that is tight and thick. Playing this pick is like driving a Ferrari. It’s almost like it already knows what you want to play before you play it!

 
Designed with and for my long time buddy Tom Aragon of California. Tom is a fantastic guitarist with a lot of insight and vision. In 2012 he came to me with this design. He needed a pick that would be able to keep up with his creativity. So we made a black pick and put the hole in the center and then he named it the Blackhole. He has used this pick now for 2 years and today we are making it available to you.

If you are looking for a pick to challenge your imagination and take your playing to the point of no return, then you will LOVE this pick!

The NEW Eclipse Guitar Pick by V-PICKS

The V-PICKS Eclipse guitar pick has quickly become one of my personal favorites.

A lot of players have asked for a curved spot on the top of their guitar pick for comfort and control.  Scooped out at the top just enough for your finger or knuckle to rest.  It feels real good. It is just a great tactile experience!  You can spin the pick around and get some pretty fast action from the upper corners. The scoop is good no matter which way you angle your pick, upwards like George Benson and Carlos Santana, or downwards like Billy Gibbons or Eric Johnson.  This pick is just plain comfortable and it plays quite well indeed!

The sound is full, thick and lively.  Exactly what you would expect and get from all V-PICKS models.

Good for all kinds of music, Rock, Jazz, Country, Latin, Funk, and Blues.

Note:  This is the same dimensions as the Eclipse Commemorative Guitar Pick, only without the graphic and year.

V-Picks Tradition Lite GLOW

Tradition Lite GLOW IN THE DARK!

The Tradition series was born out of requests by some of our artists asking for a guitar pick shaped like what they have been used to playing for the last 40 years. This is it! For all of you old dogs out there, you will LOVE this pick. More volume, better tone, and you will not drop this guitar pick! It will cling to your fingers when your body temperature warms it up.

Roger Fisher of Heart and Phil Keaggy both play and endorse V-PICKS Tradition Lite.

Note: 12/05/16 the Tradition Lite has been greatly improved!  We took a great pick and made it excellent!  The V-PICKS (Patent Pending) DOT has been added. The DOT is designed to be a reference point. It may be the ultimate tactile experience you have had yet in a guitar pick. I have found this DOT to help me play more accurately and precisely because I know EXACTLY where the pick is and how much of it I am holding in my fingers. No question. It also plays a big roll in giving more texture to the pick as some of our players have requested. The slightly raised letters on one side and the DOT on the other is a combination that just may revolutionize the guitar world forever. It’s subtle but very effective.

V-Picks Chicken Picker

1.5mm thick

One thing that is astounding about living in Nashville is number of GREAT guitar players living here. I always say, if you throw a rock in Nashville, you will hit a guitar picker. And we’re not talking about a bunch of slugs either. These are some of the best pickers the world has to offer!  This year at Summer NAMM almost every one of them asked for the same style pick, a small, teardrop shape that is 1.5mm thick and sounds like their fingernails. HERE IT IS! The new Chicken Picker. This pick is incredibly fast! That is, if you can already play incredibly fast. It sticks out the perfect length so that you can either choke up on it or just use the whole pick. It is also very comfortable to tuck in under your fingers when you finger pick.  But don’t let the name fool you. I have had some metal players try this puppy out and they went nuts! Again, we’re talking fast action here folks.

V-Picks Venom

$5.00

1.5mm –
15/16″ wide-
1 1/16″ long –

Fast, accurate and bites! This little guitar pick delivers it all. If you like a smaller pick in your hand, this is the perfect size. A great replacement for the Jazz III. The point slips across the strings for really fast playing, or you can turn it around and use one of the rounded corners for a different, thicker tone. Great for Metal, Fusion, Blues, Country, and acoustic players even love it! The Venom comes in a rare, deep green color. We searched for years for a green that would not change the tone of the raw material and still retain the famous V-Pick grippage (sticks to your hand when the pick warms to body temperature) and we finally found it! You will love this little pick!  Please note: V-Picks are the ONLY cast acrylic picks that are heat tempered and heat buffed. This changes the molecules inside the material and makes a stronger, longer lasting pick. It also creates a much smoother string surface for gliding action. Due to the heat treatment, you can see heat marks in the pick when you hold them up to the light, especially in our colored picks. This is not a defect or mistake. It is just how the material reacts to the fire. Consider it the “venom” inside!

V-Pick Fusion

$5.00

1.5mm thick –

15/16″ wide-

1 1/8″ long –

Some folks called and requested a pick that was just like the Chicken Picker except just a bit wider.  More thumb grip.  So, the V-Pick Fusion was born…

A good buddy of mine named Chris Bernard came up with the F-hole idea and the name.

Jazz III players will especially love this one.  This pick is fantastic for all kinds of playing and all kinds of guitars.  My Strat, Les Paul, PRS and 335 all sound and play amazing with this pick!  It is small enough to tuck away in your knuckle or between your fingers and yet not as small as some of the jazz picks I have played with.  It really does surprize me how GOOD this pick feels!  The 1.5mm has a lot of snap and bite to the sound.  Really a pretty flat EQ comes off this pick.  It is an even and consistent sound and yet still has the very full spectrum that V-Picks are known for.

The Sapphire Blue is just a knock out!  Please know that V-Picks are heat treated and then flame buffed.  So, with this blue material, if you hold it up in the light, you will be able to see the heat marks from the flame.  I like to call them “flame broiled”.  I consider it to be the mojo in these guitar picks.  This treatment, by the way, makes our picks last longer, slip over the string faster as well.  It also give the edge a much better surface than a pick that is just cut or buffed on a buffer wheel as all other acrylic picks out there on the market.  This is just one thing that makes V-Picks Guitar Picks the best picks on this planet!

So now you have the V-Pick’s “grip” with an added texture of the holes! I expect this to become a LOT of player’s favorite V-Pick, hands down. I have only played it for a short time this morning and I am hook on it already. Great replacement for the Jazz III. Good for all kinds of music. Good acoustic pick as well.
