Timber Tones Planet Tones Mixed Pack of Four

General

This Planet Tones set contains four exclusive Timber Tones guitar picks made of African ebony. With a Janka hardness of 3320, African ebony is one of the hardest woodtypes available. This means a clear, clean sound and tight attack, extremely suitable for electric guitar. The shape is based on the classic (Fender) '315' pick, which is 2.5 mm thick where you hold it and only 0.7 mm at the tip. Two of the picks have mother-of-pearl inlays (black and gold) while the other two have abalone inlays (green and cream). These picks are made and polished by hand.

The importance of picks

When looking for culprits for a criminally good sound, the pick is often omitted from the list of usual suspects. Don't be fooled though, as this small tool is a veritable mastermind where it comes to tonal influence. A pick's gauge, shape and material are all ingredients in the overall sound it produces. The more you play, the more attention you'll pay to a good pick that meets your own specific requirements. This is the reason Bax-shop has included Timber Tones in its assortment. Although Planet Tones' round inlays have no influence on the sound, they stand out beautifully against the African ebony, making for an extremely attractive set of picks.

• Ideal for electric guitar.
