Vitriol Black Dagger - Kyle Rasmussen Signature

Regular price £5.75

Introducing a deadly new 1.5mm signature model forged from our Black Series Ultem/Glass composite... 

Dimensions 1.5 x 26 x 33mm

"Tom was able to craft a pick that checks all of my desired boxes as a player. The material paired with the etched logos provides a very sturdy grip, even in a sweaty hand. The brightness of the material and the "sharp" style tip offers maximal pick attack and note clarity. The fully beveled end allows the sharp tip to glide across the strings so one does not have to choose between speed and bite. And lastly, a sharp tip only helps so long as it lasts - This pick is carved from an extremely durable Ultem and glass composite ensuring a long and healthy life. With this combination of grip, brightness / clarity, flow, and durability, I'm happy to consider this my ultimate pick!"  
-Kyle Rasmussen, Vitriol

Q: How good can 'boutique' picks really be? A: Very

For years and years I've sworn by the 1.5mm Ernie Ball Prodigy picks, thinking that I'd found MY pick and would never need anything else. Until I discovered these picks...

Bought one up on a whim, more as an experiment and wanting to try something not Dunlop/Ernie Ball , not really expecting anything noticeably different, but I can say after a week of using it, it's a better pick in every way. Absolutely no signs of wear after a week of very aggressive playing. Love the sharp tip and the bevelled edge just glides through strings. The etched logo feels great in the fingers and gives much better grip than a Jazz 3 Max Grip.

If I HAD to offer a criticism (more an observation really) the long, sharp tip means grabbing pinch harmonics require marginally more effort, especially if you're used to playing smaller picks like a Jazz with a more rounded tip. Maybe a deal breaker if you're Zakk Wylde, but the amount of clarity you get from these is far higher than anything I've played before.

Yes, they are pricey, but worth it. It's like finally investing in a good paintbrush and realising you've been using poor tools this whole time.

I'll definitely be picking up another when I inevitably lose this one, because I think that'll happen before it wears out.

P.S. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but excellent packaging!

Winspear picks are just the best for metal, and they last a length of time, grinding against thick gauged strings.
Pricey, yes. But they will stand the test of time if you don’t loose them. Also don’t fidget and bend them haha they are very stiff and will snap.
Aside from that, totally fantastic picks.

Strong Plectrum

I have used the same two Winspear Battleaxes for a few years now. These Pectrums are incredible. The most durable and most comfortable guitar picks I have ever used. They attack the strings in the most perfect way. And they do not break down after years of use. Highest quality made. Winspear makes amazing products. They have gained a lifelong customer for sure.

Perfection in Plectrum

I've used a lot of picks. Tried so many from so many different companies and all of them came close but there was always something not quite perfect.

For about a year i'd been using the Jeff Loomis Dunlop signature picks, a sharp point but without being as narrow at the tip as some of the more aggressive picks.

I came to Winspear for strings for a baritone 6 string (which are ALSO excellent may i add) and spotted the Vitriol signature pick. I'm a fan of Kyles playing myself and after having a look thought i'd get one to try. Well i'm sold, this is the most naturally perfect pick i've ever used. Sharp, solid, grips well, savage attack and clearly after the abuse i've given it the last 24hrs built to last. I can shred the tips off sharp picks in as little as one session and this thing has held it's tip without fail so far.

Perfect size and shape. I'll be subscibing to this picks and they're my go to. Great work Tom.
