G4 pick

The thread where this pick is talked about is titled Guzz S3 so I'll start this one and copy/paste my comments on G4...

That thread is here for reference

The material is unusual in a very good way, gives a very warm sound but the pick very wear resistant. It feels more like highly polished stone but when you drop it on the table you hear a deep "thunk". It'd be interesting to compare it to the tortoise. So far this is the best material I've tried that Jokko is using (but the pick is gypsyguitars.de branded). It's such a nice pick, it needs its own mention.

    It's at the top of the food chain. It really is a nice pick, material feels great. Not slippery in hand. One of quietest I tried when it comes to pick noise. Does incredibly well with the pick release (or roll-off ), I.e. slides across the strings with such ease. The side tips give a wonderful soft tone and that's what I used the most today. Sharp tip is good too, chimey. We'll see how it wears. Some of the materials that Jokko is using would wear and get scratchy but once the bevels get shaped according to my playing it would be fine. The only thing I wish is that it was thicker. I went back to thick picks after years of using 1.5-2mm. Bottom of the pouch is all those, except the Primetone which is 3, but majority of the time I'd use one of Blue Chip. Top is all 4mm except the 4G pick. 4G is such an awesome pick, now I'm glad I got it.

    Well 4G pick, made by Jokko and sold by the gypsyguitars.de It's the approximation of the Guzz pick with all three sides being usable: solo, rhythm, ballads, going from sharpest to roundest.


    I didn't want to start comparing immediately, I'm just going to use it for at least a couple of days. But I keep thinking the sound with the fat 4mm picks was exactly that, fatter. Not louder, just deeper. 4G pick brings more mids but rounds off the highs very nicely, it's very warm sounding.


    I would've gotten the no dimple version but it wasn't available is this material (only original tortoise and ivorin). Though it didn't bother me yesterday.


    We'll see, sometimes I get a new pick and after the initial excitement wears off I go back to whatever I was using previously. But I don't think I ever liked a pick immediately the way I did this one.

    What was that material called that pick is made of? Is that the shelltone?

    It's Art Nouveau.

    Oh! Thank you! I just ordered a tortoise shell version of that pick (haven't got it yet) but next time I order I might get that one too then.

    I have several of his old version of tortoise, this new one is much better. Less click, less wear, loud and warm at the same time. It maybe my favorite material yet among everything I tried so far. Welcome to the forum.
