Yet another new innovation - 'Sik Pik' Guitar Picks

[Phil]

Stumbled across these after watching the NAMM reportage videos.
Very interesting and novel, to say the least.
It's a bold departure from the usual picks, instead of just using different materials, different beveled edges or mild variations in the classic teardrop/triangular shape, they actually introduced a corkscrew to the tip.
I've no idea where to get them, nor am I terribly inclined to get my hands on one.
Just thought it'd be neat to share since we are always open to affordable improvements to our tone and playing - actual or imagined.

Bold maybe, but not a new or unique idea at all

I've seen other variations as well, can't remember what brand though.

i got one of these twisted picks from about 15yrs ago when they had patent pending embossed on them.
its nothing new, and its not that great either.
was called angled pick.
possibly may help some with speed picking, but i'll stick to the jazz IIIs.

i got something similar from swee lee before, was supposed to improve speed picking, but it was too thin to actually help. jazz IIIs still do the job best i guezz
