V-Picks Screamer Pearly Gates

A fast, great sounding pick with great control.

This pick truly improved my control, sound and speed.

Compared to the regular V-Picks Screamers, this material is slightly different. It feels a bit more slippery and slightly more durable (not entirely sure if i's more durable as I haven't used it quite as long as my other Screamers)

Upsides:

+Clear, crisp tone

+Pretty loud

+Durable (about 0 scratches after months of playing, also doesn't break)

+Very fast

+Easy, great pinch harmonics

+Great control

+3 tips!

Downsides:

-Though it is durable, the points lose sharpness pretty fast

-Less crisp and loud when sharpness is reduced

-Pretty expensive for such a small piece of plastic. But the investement is well worth it!

I loved these!
Made from good quality acrylic and easy to grip thanks to a clever little indentation. I played for hours when I got them. Loud, articulate and very comfortable to use. They are about 3mm thick, so not for the faint of heart...
The finish on the pearly gates is really nice and I did end up trying a few other plectrums from their range and felt this was my favourite.

On the downside, they are expensive. They are quite large too, especially if you are used to small Jazz IIIs. I also found they performed best when new and sharp. These picks could draw blood, honestly. Not matter how much sanding or filing I did, I could not get them sharp again. They were out pretty quickly, actually. I have went back to Jazz IIIs but keep a couple of these vpicks handy, new and untouched, in case of a shredding emergency.
