You so funny. And by the way can you bevel your picks?

Oh yikes -- that "pick" my brain was a totally unintentional comment. I crack myself up.

On the beveling thing, I'm just here in this discussion as a regular member, not a pitchman for any particular company, so feel free to PM me and take it off the board.

I WILL say, though, that my experience with a number of great players -- of which I am not one -- is that they prefer to apply their own bevels. So a manufacturer ships a beveled pick to them and they immediately re-bevel it. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this. Also, bear in mind that there are a number of different bevel designs on the market, all slightly different from one another. Red Bear's bevel is different than Blue Chips, which is different than Dunlop Primetone, which is different than... well, you get the point.

My Two Cents,
scott

If you are thinking of going into the mass produced business, then I'm not your target market.
I would like to add to Silly's comment that he and I, along with thousands of other AGF members, are probably not your target audience for this kind of performance. A number of us are members of the lunatic fringe. The membership here is a sliver of the total number of acoustic players around the world. So take your survey results with a grain of salt or two.
