The bar continues to rise in the high-end guitar market, of course, and as it does the bar for high-end accessories rises as well. That's certainly the case with the Ice Pix Stix. Needless to say, most guitar players don't spend a lot of time obsessing about their picks the way they do about their guitars and amps. But believe it or not, when it comes to tone the right pick is an essential part of the equation. The Ice Pix Stix is truly a revolutionary advancement in pick manufacturing. Its slim design and micro-suction insert create a grip that not only makes it easier to hold--which reduces the chances you'll drop it--but actually encourages a more aggressive pick attack. Thanks to the custom foam grip, the Ice Pix Stix creates a firm connection with your thumb and index finger. The improved grip reduces the picks movement across your fingertips, so the pick can actually strike the strings with more authority. And because the Ice Pix maintains stable contact with your thumb and finger, you'll find you're also able to produce more subtle nuances. It's a little thing, yes, but it can make a huge difference in the tone you achieve. A way-cool benefit of the micro-suction foam grip is that the Ice Pix Stix can attach right to your guitar, mike stand, effects rack or beer bottle! Imagine: no more of that messy duct tape on your mike stand. Since the foam grip is non-adhesive, it won't harm your instrument's finish or leave a sticky residue. After all, duct tape has its place . . . but not on your guitar! The Ice Pix Stix is available in all popular gauges and a variety of enticing colors. I've tried these picks at several acoustic shows and can report very positive results, not only from the standpoint of convenience but also from the perspective of tone. The Ice Pix Stix comes in packages of six Stix and retails at $3.99. Like the company says: Once you experience the advantage of Ice Pix grip, you'll never go back to regular picks! Ice Pix |
