I got my first, a clear medium triangle, at Gruen Guitars, with their logo inscribed, and I still think it's my favorite.

Bird, howdy howdy, thanks for your post. Vinny does a heckuva job at V-Picks, and is really the first (and longest-lasting) boutique pick company, the original guy.
You might be surprised (shocked) at the difference in sound between Acrylic and Casein, for instance. If you look at the artist page of any Acrylic pick seller, you will see tons of raves from electric players, but almost nothing from acoustic players. Most acoustic folks find Acrylic very scratchy and screechy across the strings. But to each their own.
Thanks Again,
