  • Contoured pick and a method of multiple variations of 3D CAD models
    Publication number: 20150096426
    Abstract: The original contoured thumb and finger pick for players of stringed instruments introduced an incredible innovation for guitar players and others. Improvements based on this unique concept have transformed a useful tool into an extremely comfortable and natural strumming aid. The pick saddle totally follows the thumb and finger contours for greater comfort and the band is secured to the pick with a low profile post. A new method of constructing a large inventory of 3d CAD models with the manufacture of individual custom fit models by 3d printing now makes the improved contoured pick available to all sizes and shapes of fingers and thumbs, and allows each player to select a pick which will best fit his own shape, size, and playing style.
