Years ago I sent my buddy a bunch of new and worn picks to compare and made a list up with generic descriptions for him. I found the document I made him and turned it to a .pdf to post here for anyone interested. It gives general info and my opinions and experience with them. Yes, I used to wear an Alien pick necklace, so what. lol.. The start gives some good tips I mentioned to be aware of when testing picks too. Hope some people find this useful. My work is done here. Time to eat. : )
