Nava, I've been in the pick biz going on five years. Feel free to contact me to pick my brain, if I can be of some assistance.

Just took the survey...and it got me thinking again about credit card picks. I have cut a few out of old cards with minor success (can't really get the shape just right with a scissors). But there are pick cutters for modest money that would do the job - in fact a friend who teaches band (and guitar) in high school uses that successfully to supply cheap picks to students.
What I can say about a card pick is that it sounds durn near like mid-range (say, primetone) picks. Anybody here using them? (lacking the cutter I myself have gone to primetone)

Just did the survey. That being said... in the future, you really need to add a 'No Preference' option and you need to proofread your options (in one case, you duplicated an answer).
Sorry, it's just the business/marketing professor in me coming out...

I took survey, what the heck!
If you make a recycled pick that feels like a Fender Medium, or a yellow Tortex .73 ( same gauge as a medium, just different plastic) and give me the ' standard' shape, I'll use them!

Not sure you'll like my answers . . .
What do you look for in a guitar pick? A pick? I bought a tin of Gibson Triangular Thin picks about 10 years ago and I still have about 40 of the 50 that came in the tin. Reckon I'm not your target market. The questions appear to have been posed with a specific outcome in mind instead of just open ones. Quite a few times I was stumped for an answer as nothing applied to my choices.

Quote:
I just measured two discs in the office here. The DVD was 1.15 mm, the CD 1.25 mm. I have no idea if there is any industry standard for those formats, but the CD is almost twice as thick as a Fender Medium. If you're serious about manufacturing, I'd suggest perhaps slicing out a few test picks from an old desk and give them a whirl (be careful not to slice off a finger if using something an Exacto knife). There are a lot of factors that go into making a great guitar pick material. And then, how does it sound? sm

Survey completed, but I think I, like many others here, tend to buy/use more material, thickness (and more than you offered) and finish specific products.
Personally speaking, I have little interest in colour or graphics and having bought my preferred products I expect them to last for life. If you are thinking of going into the mass produced business, then I'm not your target market.
