Wedge picks

Uhh, not sure where this should go so pickups will do.

Anyone know who sells Wedge picks? I got a small selection with my Martin mag, and one of them has "wedge" stamped on it, and I like it.

Aren't they Gibson picks???

If they're the ones I'm thinking off, I've seen them at music shops in general.

Bit hard to imagine Gibson picks coming with a Martin mag Rog

Turns out it's "Wedgie", damed eyesight, bought in by Lyn McAllister music, who bring in Martin.

There's a big fat eraser type thing, about 4mm thick, not sure what it's good for, then there's ones with serrated edges, which are fun, but the one that I liked had a slight concave with a grippy face and 0.4mm thick.

I got some Gibson wedge picks on the weekend (A heavy and two thins though I meant to get two heavies). They're really good actually, they give me more accuracy than the old .73mm Jim Dunlops I used.

You could try getting them online maybe? Someone on TM?

I can probably get them. PM me and I'll find out.

Each to their own, but those wedgies are WIERD! Good for erasing pencil lead...and that's it. However, super comfy feel to them. Played an acoustic with it and it made a quiet but even tone...lead's/solo's near impossible. I need to ask, why?

Anyone know what the fat rubber ones are for, apart from erasing?

Now why didn't I think of that? How much for ten?

Here's the info on Wedgie pics from LynMac:

WEDGIE PICKS & ACCESSORIES http://www.wedgieproducts.com

The unique and innovative design of the Wedgie pick is so comfortable that
you will never hold a flat pick again without noticing how flat it is. The
contoured shape allows for more contact between the pick and your thumb,
without changing the feel or playability of the pick.

Wedgie picks come in a variety of materials and gauges to suit any player.
They can be ordered singly, in a pickbox, or in convenient packs of a dozen.

clean, warm tones. It sounds like your fingers, but plays like a pick.

Wedgie Pick Holders
