| Excerpts from Woodenpicks.com guitar picks reviews: Music Gear Review - Chris Bereznay - Vintage Guitar Magazine ~ Guitar Review You can read the entire review @ www.musicgearreview.com/article-display/252.html "What you may not realize, though, is the different things you can do with these guitar picks, especially when going through some exercises on a Fender Strat plugged into a Fender Cyber-Twin amplifier. We started playing with the edges of the picks a little more, gliding the edge across the strings for a real subtle gliss type picking method. We even attempted some pinch harmonics which provided a real unique tone, distinctly different than the same type of technique used with standard picks. Experimenting was half the fun, and although some of us found them a little hard to get used to, the different tones and colors we could pull off the strings really made us realize how unique these picks are." +++ GuitarGearHeads.com ~ Guitar Review Review By: Gary Allen "I was completely shocked to find that each pick sounded unique in it’s own way. It was like having the sound qualities of three completely different guitars. They actually changed the tonal characteristics of the guitars sound for you." "I believe that everyone should invest in at least one of these picks. They have some really great qualities that I have never heard before from a pick. I really enjoyed the sound they let you produce. I am sure that if you try one you will want to try the others." "These picks have definitely earned the “GearHeads Approved Seal” for 2004."

Hello Ike -
Last month I ordered, and received a few of your wooden guitar picks. They arrived just fine.
At first, before playing the picks, I had my doubts, and I figured the thinned edges would be prone to
breakage. But now that I've used it quite a bit, I find my initial thoughts to be proven otherwise.
I play a very busy gig schedule. I'm the primary on-call guitarist in Phoenix. I play a jazz box with heavy
flatwounds, a solid body electric with light strings, and several acoustic 6 strings with light and medium
gauge strings. For most of my pick work, I don't use the point of the pick, but I rotate the pick and use
one of the more rounded shoulders. This seems to allow me to slip across the strings better than using
the point.
With most plastic or horn guitar picks, the rotated pick tends to rotate even further or to slide 'up' into my
palm, causing me to have to constantly reposition my pick.
I've tried various solutions like scoring the pick, rubber stick on things, gorilla snot etc. None of those
have worked particularly well for any pick.
Your picks worked better than those others. The texture from the underlying wood grain seems to be just
enough to anchor the rotated pick between my fingers while not adding increased bulk or thickness.
Bottom line...it works. It works well. Very well!
Attached is a photo of me using your picks.:-)

Ike,
i received my olivewood pick i ordered today, as well as the complimentary zebrawood mini pick. i am going
to post my review to the olivewood pick below. I will be posting this on a few different forums on the internet.
I've already been mentioning your pick to the people on a couple of these forums and there is some interest
there. in fact, you have probably replied to e-mail from that already. My review of the wooden pick i got from
woodenpicks.com:
Playing with something natural like wood is MUCH more appealing to me than playing with some synthetic
material. This alone made me want to try out the wooden picks. I purchased a standard shaped pick made
out of african olivewood. Now, the first thing to keep in mind is the pick you order will not look EXACTLY like
the one on the website because wood grain is not consistent, every pick made from the same piece of wood
will be unique. The only other thing to note about appearance to me is that the picks have a clear finish
applied to them in order to help preserve the wood.
Before I go into sound let me tell you about my playing style. I play almost strictly rhythm. I do A LOT of
strumming. As far as sound goes, my pick has a more 'woody' tone than a synthetic pick. Of course this makes
perfect sense considering it IS wood. It also seems to have a fuller tone to my ears and plenty of volume. It's
really difficult to describe the sound of a pick or anything else for that matter considering we all hear things
differently, but i can safely say I prefer this pick to picks made from synthetic materials for the reasons I've
stated.
If you're wondering about feel, the pick is not really that thick but it is stiff. I used to play with really thin picks
but then I began to play with thicker picks and changed my technique some. Thicker picks offer a better tone
to my ears. It seems to me a lot of lead players tend to like thicker picks, and rhythm players often like thinner
picks. i guess I am one of the exceptions to that.
Now, i want to talk about grip. Different woods have different grain so some woods provide a better grip than
others. I haven't decided yet whether i like playing better with the tip of the pick or one of the rounded
edges. This has more to do with feel than sound though for me. I encourage you to visit the website and at
least give them a look - http://www.woodenpicks.com And no, I'm not getting paid for this, but I'd gladly
accept a few free picks if this increases Ike's sales *laughing*. i just like to get the word out on products i feel
deserve attention, and this is one of them. I believe you have a fine product! Keep up the good work!
~ Jeremy
Ike the picks arrived today...you did it again! Fantastic. The Honduras pick has a place of honor in my pick
purse.
Thank you very much for doing the extra stuff on the Indian rosewood. That was just what I needed....a little
more length, so my stubby fingers don't hit the strings so much. Just right. I played them both tonight at the
musical I'm doing this week. Thanks again for your craftsmanship, your care and your generosity. ~ Michael
Murphy
=========
Thank you, Ike. My son is also a picker, and he liked your picks! He's on tour this summer and comes home
nearly every weekend. He wanted to take MY picks to see how he liked playing them on the job, I wouldn't let
him. (The old man has got a gig this week). Anyway he will be ordering as soon as I let him experiment and I
assure you I will be ordering more. The Zebra wood sounds interesting.
Thank you for the special rare pick, Ike. It will be appreciated. I wasn't going to tell you but I think I will; I
post regularly on the jazz guitar group site. The guys always put messages about great products and esp.
superior care and craftsmanship. So we don't consider it spamming, only reporting. I am going to post about
"Ike and his wooden picks" and the care and quality you provide.
(I wont be saying anything about anything free, bonus or the like) I wanted you to know that in case some
jazzers start writing.
Another note of interest: You can say a report from a customer (me) loves the way the purple heart sounds on
acoustic guitar. Another plus. Whatever grain or drag it has is so becoming and bright on my Martin guitar.
I will spread the word! - Mike
--------------------------------
"Ike, you made me some indian rosewood guitar picks a few years ago. Also you made me the /*purple
heart*/ picks that sounds so good on my acoustic. Do you still make the purple heart picks? I will buy a
couple more if you do. Also I'm intrigued with some of your new woods for the picks; African Blackwood,
Wenge, Dymonwood and Macassar ebony. Do you still make certain size and shape picks for the type wood
you are using? Recall; you made me the slightly longer rosewood picks which I have not worn out yet and
use quite a bit!! I'm ready to order after I've heard from you . By the way, here is an honest sound bite
regarding that sweet, rare honduras pick you sent me: the only picks to actually have a voice. It's voice
ranges from breathy to raspy depending on how I stroke it.
Very special! Thanks again Ike. - MHM"

Hello, My name is Rob Roscigno and I am a solo jazz/fusion guitarist from New York.
I'm very interested in your picks. I've been a Dugain user for many years and as you probably heard, they are
no longer available. Can't wait to check out one of yours.
Website link: http://www.robroscigno.com

Hi Ike...
I received the picks today and was very impressed with the design & detail of the two made out of "Chico"...
That is a hard wood with a smooth look and should last forever...My friends will love them... I'm sure. They do
make for a unique gift for a guitar player. Once again it was great doing business with someone who
exceeded my expectations.... of the product & delivery!
Thank You.... Jeff Schnurr
----------------------
Ike, I received the picks you sent. Thanks very much. They are nicely made and I particularly like the
Zebrawood one. I tried them out, comparing them to a celluloid pick, newer plastic, and an old original
tortoise shell pick I have. I was impressed with the sound of the wood picks: sharp, immediate, strong, very
much like the thick tortoise shell pick.

---------------------
This has been a long time interest of mine also. I made picks from many things. Jade, fiberglass PC Board
material, metal, and wood. Hell, Billy Gibbons uses a quarter, even a dime works.
An elementary school principal used old credit cards...so that was probably my first material. I found that I
like a thick agate pick with not too fine of a point. Then I used some thin rosewood from leftovers from a
guitar kit. I thought it might wear...but this first one I made just keeps on going. Of course the grain direction
has much to do with this. I now use both wood and agate. Occasionally I still like a graphite pick. I used to
love the old Duncan graphites. I only have one left. They don't make them anymore, so I sand one of the
newer, too thick ones. I found that tapering the point of the pick or putting an edge on it can help reduce
click and improve attack or feel. An overall taper can help from keeping the pick from slipping in the fingers.
I have met few players who cared to pay much attention to the pick. Just lazy or accepting of the Fender
plastic world. Many performers are the same way, maybe using the Duncan Tortex, but never do I see wood
or some such thing. The custom of throwing picks to the audience makes this hard to deal with also, and I
suppose some of them get sponsored to use the Duncan picks. I just missed Trower's pick the other night...a
Tortex. Fell to the floor after hitting my finger tips. My bro got one from Alvin Lee way back....Fender
medium. I got one from Steve Morse, it is a light blue with his same..maybe a tortex. He thrashed quite a bit
of wear on it for as little time using it. I don't like the way tortex deform to your grip, I much prefer a thick non
flexible pick. The point is that I feel it is the most important thing you can do to either improve or customize
your sound as you say. I am glad to see someone finally talking about it...great site.
Nice chatting at you, keep up the good work. Frank Charles
My Reply:
Frank,
Just wanted to say thanks for such a nice response! Don't know if this is more a topic or a review? Regardless,
it is guitar related. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you, I have recently went through a system
change to Win NT & haven't checked my e-mail for almost a week. Boy can it pile up!
I too find it amazing that so much has changed with the way companies make guitars, effects &
amplification better, yet neglect the more simplistic approach of the instrument which plays a vital role in
the striking of the string. I call the pick an "instrument" on my site, because it truly is. Although it does not
produce any sound on its own, it acts exactly the same as a reed in a flute, drumsticks for percussion, or a
bow to the violin. We seem to take the smaller things for granted. I am trying to incorporate educational tools
into my site soon, part of a "get-to-know your instrument & you'll be a better musician" approach.
I have always felt that musicians who are not open to trying new things, will never progress much. Let's face
it, especially with the guitar, speed & dexterity are interesting to most non-guitarists for only a few minutes.
Let me hear someone play a piece that has a different "sound" or "technique", and that person has the
makings of a legend! One general rule I try to stick to when I write music is this: If you can't hum, whistle, or
hear the tune in your head a few hours later, scrap it! Melody & tone are the key ingredients to all good
music for me. If people still like it 20 years later, it usually was due to the melody, tone, or beat
( these are what make music a lasting impression upon its listeners, more so than good lyrics ).
How often do we forget "tone"? More often than not I'm afraid. Sometimes it is scary to watch MTV at all!
Glad to find out that there is at least one more out there who is at least a little like me when it comes to fine
tuning a personal sound. Maybe one day guitarist will look back on these wooden picks and wonder why it
took 300 years to catch on. (Ha!)
Thanks again,
Ike Gilbert
P.S. I wonder how many people who watch the new commercial with Edgar Winter really do know who he is?
----------------------------------
Hi Ike,
My 6 wood picks arrived and they are beautiful little works of art. I really like the slightly thinner picks that
you made for me - they give a brighter sound to my two Ovation guitars.
Stay cool, Ken Gruen
Thanks for the Review Ken - IKE
----------------------------
Dear Ike -
It's more than obvious how much time is spent on the craftsmanship of your picks. I recently got several
different designs of your picks for Christmas. I'm an aspiring guitarist and have a Gibson SG and an Electra
Bass. I really just wanted to say great job on the picks, they're the best and the only ones I'll ever use. Like I
said before, I really love your picks and they've treated me real well since I've started using them.
Thanks again, A.J. Ingram
Glad to hear from you A.J. (I play a Gibson Guitar too - Les Paul) Thank you for the nice guitar pick review!
--------------------------
Ike, got the guitar picks, very cool. I've been wondering for years about wooden picks and glad to see that
your doing it. The look is great and the so is the tone. My favorite is the Mopane both visually and tonally
but it's a tight race with the African Blackwood. I definitely agree that guitar picks are the most under-rated
aspect of tone. I'll be checking back to see what other woods come along.

Hello Ike,
I've got my picks, thank you. apprecited your craftsmanship.To play with wooden picks is much pleasant than
the others. The only thing bocote pick has 2 different wood layers and i think one is stronger than the other
layer so makes interesting sound i could not get mellow sound any way.
Cheers
Selamlar/Regards
Mustafa Altan.
Glad to hear that the picks arrived safely to Istanbul, Turkey Mustafa! There is quite a bit of attack on the
Bocote wood (usually a great effect for those who play guitar with distortion). I will try to update the
downloadable catalogue to reflect the Bocote wood attack strength.
