Apollo Picks - Grand Opening - Mandolin And Guitar Picks - Casein and Thermoplastic
Hey everyone,
I started a small-business making fine Guitar and Mandolin picks out of Vintage Casein as well as Engineering/Aerospace Plastic. https://www.apollopicks.com/ The website is still under construction (what a huge task this all is), but the store is open with a few of the picks I plan to offer. I'll be adding much much more as time goes on, so you could follow me on facebook or instagram or whatnot (or just check back in on the site from time to time). Thank yah folks, Nik Last edited by ApolloPicks; 10-22-2020 at 06:46 PM.

Just a word of support for my former customer and now buddy, NM, owner of Apollo Picks. The first time he played casein, he fell over on his head, just as I did some six years ago.
He and I share a similar background, including the state of our birth, and I'm proud to support this new venture (no vested interest). To my many friends on AGF, give this gentleman a shot. Anyone brave (or foolish) enough to venture into the salt mines of casein deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor. Thanks for supporting AGF, Nik. Welcome, Apollo Picks! sm Last edited by Charmed Life Picks; 10-18-2020 at 09:03 PM.

Thank you everyone!
I'll have my first batch done and up on the website this Saturday (10/20/20.) I can promise you you will see a rainbow of colors in wonderful and beautiful Casein! The best way to stay in touch would be to go to Apollopicks.com, Then scroll down toward the bottom of the homepage and subscribe via email. I promise I won't flood your inbox, I'll just send an update when the new batch is done. Oh And I'd like to mention that Scott Memmer is one awesome dude. We talked on the phone a number of times, and all I can say is this dude is authentic and legitimate. Oh and he makes a fine guitar pick. I'm going to be like Memmer and say "go buy his picks." hahah, of course if you don't see quite what your lookin for there, feel free to swing by Apollopicks.com. Thanks again folks!

Since my new website has been a bit bare for this past week I wanted to point out that I just now added a "gallery" section to the apollopicks.com site. In this section, I uploaded a few of the picks that will be available this Saturday.
There will be about 20 new picks available, so this is a bit under 1/2 of what will go up. Thanks for checking them out.

Thanks, Jaan!
This is only the tip of the iceberg. I've got some very special material that I have not used yet. Stay tuned Nik
