The type of pick you use affects the tone you create. Thats why we created the TUSQ Pick, the worlds first and only pick, engineered with built-in tone. By formulating our proprietary TUSQ material we created a new class of picks, with highly resonant characteristics that produce 3 distinctive tones: bright, warm, and deep. TUSQ picks also have a high stiffness to thickness ration for a smooth, balanced feel and clean articulate attack. With TUSQ in your pick, great tone is in your hands.
