Description
With its new “beak” design, this pick will work for most players straight out of the package and onto the fingertips, either right-side up or inverted. The curve follows a similar radius found on steel picks, so “inverted” may be the chosen orientation for playing stringed-instruments such as Autoharp, banjo, pedal-steel, or resonator. The “original” nail design is preferred by Autoharp players, and will continue to be available. Whether it’s an upstroke, or a down-stroke, the Ultimate finger pick will stay put and enhance the tonal quality of your finger picking experience! This 2nd generation nail is still fully customizable–if necessary–for the end-user, so no matter what your finger picking style may be, The Ultimate FingerPick will potentially work for you! Our first production run is the MEDIUM sized clear over-mold Expansion slits [shown in the pic below] can be added by the end-user, for more “breathing-room” in the interim.
Sizing: A good way to decide which size will work best for you, is by the measurement of the first knuckle on your index finger.
-
- The Large is about a 9 to 9 1/2 ring size, in its relaxed state, and expands from there [NOT available yet, for the 2nd gen nail design] “Small” over-mold is also on the drawing board.
- The Medium is about a 6 1/2 to 7 ring size, in its relaxed state, and easily expands to ~10.
- Search “ring size templates” if you need to measure yours.

I have had weak Nails all my life, too fragile to use. I’m 63, I wish this was around when I was a Teenager, doing Cotton Picking of Stefan Grossman Books, and Courses. This 2nd Generation Nail Design, allows you to “Dig-In”, but not get caught under the string being played. For me this is perfect, totally comfortable, with ease of use, nails feel natural. I must compliment Gus for being a generous, great friend of the Cotton Picking Guitarists, that are the Guitarist’s hero Guitarists. There needs an attention to detail, with little reward for such hard work. The Big Boys could have provided this, but it’s too small beer, so Gus has put in huge effort, with a lot of trial and error costs, with little money coming back. Please give this a go, it’s a great tool in the Guitarists Tool Kit, and GREAT FUN.
