Snark SP107 Teddy's Neo Tortoise guitar picks (1.07 mm)

General

In America, there's a saying that goes: If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Well, Snark Teddy's Neo Tortoise guitar picks are the exception to that rule. With their pleasant feel and warm sound, you'll easily mistake them for actual tortoise-shell picks. Don't be alarmed, though, as no animals were harmed in the making of these Snark SP107 picks. All picks are laser-cut and polished for 30 hours to give them as smooth a surface as possible and eliminate string drag. These particular picks are heavy models, this set consisting of 12 1.07mm-thick picks, which are ideal for lead guitarists that require optimal control for their solos.

Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks

Originally, tortoise-shell picks had many advantages that made them very popular among guitarists. They offered a bright, warm sound, and they were both durable and flexible. The downside, of course, was the fact that making them took a toll on the tortoise population. As such, it's not surprising that using real tortoise shells for picks has been prohibited for many years. From the moment they were banned, people have been trying to capture their unique properties in a synthetic pick. We're glad to report that Snark has finally succeeded, with their Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks. They offer that warm and bright sound, and both the flexibility and durability. Better yet, no tortoises were harmed in the making of these picks! As an added bonus, they even come with a free pick file that allows you to customise their shape to suit your style!

Tips or comments about this product

• Just like the original Tortoise picks, the Snark Teddy's Neo Tortoise guitar picks are very bendy. The feel of a 1.07mm-thick Neo Tortoise pick is comparable to that of a 1mm-thick celluloid/plastic pick.
