HiTech Guitar Products (from Big Rock Engineering)

Guitar picks come in ALL shapes and sizes but the common feature
of all of them is that they are more or less flat. They need to be held tightly
and the sweatier your hand the more firmly they have to be held. After playing
for a couple of hours your strumming/picking hand can be tense and tired and
there are times when your pick just goes flying through the air!


F-1 Ergonomic Pick

OK, so I'm a sucker for most things red and this one grabbed my attention!

The F-1 is really simple and beautifully designed. These are made from celluloid and available in medium and heavy and I believe, are also available as a left-handed version.

F-1 Ergonomic Guitar Pick. The F-1′s patented ergonomic design, loosens your grip, but hugs your finger, relaxing your hand, arm and neck, reducing fatigue and “Repetitive Stress Injury”. This improves control, increases speed, accuracy and promotes a fluid playing style. “The pick seems to float in your hand”, and is almost impossible to drop, you can concentrate on your left hand technique and forget your right

The F-1 is an ergonomic adaptation of the standard plectrum.  It is comfortable and easy to grip and it doesn’t slip out of your hand. Your hand stays relaxed, you can play longer and with greater freedom of movement. Chances are your string picking will become more accurate as well. The F-1 is highly recommended for beginner and intermediate guitarists who want to improve their playing technique with the minimum of effort. There are seasoned professionals who are committed users as well.

Benefits of the F-1 Ergonomic Pick Grip:

1. The F-1 has a built-in GRIP. It makes dropping the pick difficult.
2. The F-1 points the pick at a 90 degree angle to the strings. Teachers like this.
3. The F-1 requires little effort to hold and use. This can aid person with hand wrist injury.
4. The F-1 makes playing less stressful and relaxes the arm so you are not fatigued easily.
5. The F-1 allows the player to concentrate on the notes, not the pick. Players become more accurate.

X-1 PowerGrip™ Floating Pick Suspension System

Grips and stacking pads
Build your own or let them build one for you!  I like the idea of building my own, as I can chose which pick I want rather than having to have a Dunlop or Fender.

This is essentially what it includes:
*A free guitar pick (if they're assembling it)
*Two (2) X-1 PowerGrips™
*Two (2) P-82 Multi-Function Stacking Pads
*Two (2) spare P-82 Multi-Function Stacking Pads
 
It also comes with a 6 month replacement warranty if you break or wear the pick out, but interestingly, Fender picks are not covered, so maybe Fender picks don't last that long?

Notice how the back and front grips are set at angles to one another to allow for the thumb & index finger.
