This Marine Designed a Better Guitar Pick

There’s not much you can do to improve on a guitar pick, right? After all, what more can you do with a vaguely triangular piece of plastic?

Guitar player just perked up.  “Make them last longer!” they’re yelling. “They keep chipping and cracking!”

Enter Corey Whitney, an ex-Marine living in Dallas.  He was frustrated by the quality of the guitar picks he bought so he began to experiment with different polymers.  He’s now come up with a plectrum that will last 1,000 hours of playing–or more.

Read up on Corey at The Dallas Morning News.
