Dust... It doesn't look dirty inside but the sun showed me how dusty the guitar was. I don't know why... but this thing love to collect dust whereas my Fenders don't really collect dust. This thing is also way harder to clean with strings on it.

Great design indeed! You can find in the dark,
and I love the font.
Did you supply the printer with a vector file?

The ES is made out of Cocaine, a common smuggling method in the 70's.
Dandruff
Someone's trying to outdo Dick Dale at producing pick dust.

I used Clayton Custom Picks, they have you upload a jpeg/png into an online editor. Obiviously, I used a 300 DPI image that I generated in Indesign for the best quality.

Here is an earlier one I did, same font(three different fonts actually). The super cool thing about these picks is that they are Tortex(Delrin) and it is a .80 gauge, half way inbetween the .73 I use to use(too light for me) and the .88(too heavy)

It also allows me to use them as tools(I open boxes with them, pry shit with them, makeshift screwdriver) or just give them to friends/fling them at people.

I had mine done by Clayton too. If you do a single side one color they're the same price as their standard picks. I think the tone they produce is a little brighter than Dunlop.
