Designed for precision. Designed for hybrid picking. Ideal size (not too small or too big). 2mm thick. 28mm tall (1.10") and 23mm (0.9") across. Color: Violet (available in green and clear as well, contact via email).
A sleek design, the Vectrum delivers. It is slightly bigger than a "jazz" pick and smaller than a standard pick offering the perfect fit. Gliding over the strings with its precision point and beveled edges. A comfortable size with mass where needed - between your thumb and finger - and streamlined where it counts - in the tip. This design allows the complete player to do it all.
IDEAL LENGTH
If you're using a mini/style pick, you know the benefits of that size and the drawbacks. The Vectrum capitalizes on the benefits of the smaller size without being too small. The few millimeters of extra length over a standard mini/jazz pick provides a more natural feel when hybrid picking. The positioning of your hand is more like when finger picking than can be achieved with an up close and personal mini/jazz pick. And importantly, this length helps prevent those nail destroying strikes when more aggressively strumming.
The following picture shows the size of the Vectrum compared to a typical jazz pick and a standard full size guitar pick.

IDEAL MASS
Many picks flatten out across the top (see Image above of the orange standard guitar pick). The Vectrum provides a slightly extended curve at the top to give more mass for gripping as your finger pivots based on style of playing and attack. I was not even aware I was pivoting my index finger until I decided to design my own guitar pick after years of searching for the perfect style.
THE STRIKE
A guitar pick needs to work well for strumming and single notes. A good point is excellent for single note picking and speed but too fine of a point can grab the strings when strumming. The Vectrum's distinct tip allows for precision playing while at the same time has enough rounding for ease of strumming. The acrylic material also does not catch on the strings like so many other guitar pick materials used today. And, it is easy to grip.
THICKNESS
A firm pick is key for speed and control. Too much give in a pick leads to less precision in each strike. The 2 mm thickness of the Vectrum is just right.
