    Default Any idea what kind of pick this is?

    It was on a corporate promotion business card. It's about 2mm thick with a very round bevel. Kinda cool.Click image for larger version.

    kind of looks like a V-Pick that has been tinted.

    I dont know who makes the pick but the logo is from a magazine called "Chief Content Officer". Which you can see in faint type under the logo if you enlarge it.

    I'm wondering if it might be a personalized V-pick or a Gravity Pick. Looks like it might be acrylic.

    Odd to see a custom logo pick in 2.0 as that not exactly a standard guitar pick. Could be a V pick but never saw that color in them.

    I have to admit to liking the colour of it,but to my eyes,it looks like a pick made by somebody who's never used one ie. too thick,too brittle (it does look like acrylic) & far too rounded. Years back,i made many picks from varying thicknesses of acrylic (Perspex), for acoustic guitar,but they all sounded lousy. Even when very highly polished with a buffing mop,they sounded scratchy.
    I'd keep it as a curio,

    My thoughts exactly. It's also odd that someone would spend that much on a giveaway, rather than the pennies a thin guitar pick would cost.

    I was at a Sam Ash music store yesterday and they carry Gravity guitar picks. This looks like one of them......
