Bog Street

DSC06044-bogstreet.jpg

Bog Street picks are made out of a special Nylon formula ("Nylon+"). Nylon itself is an excellent material for making picks as it's smooth and slippy. The drawback is that it can be a bit fragile and also can have more flex than some players want. Bog Street founder Paul told us that the material is a "Nylon ABS" hybrid. Bog Street picks have the advantages of Nylon but with the benefit of a bit more stiffness and durability.

The real selling point for Bog Street picks, however, is the innovative design. While most guitar picks have only one usable point, Bog Street picks have three playable tips. And on some picks, the tips are different in thickness. This is one of the few picks where you can actually switch from thin to heavy without changing the pick; you just need to rotate the pick in your hand.

In addition to that, Bog Street picks have a solid grip. The hole in the center allows for a better grip, and some versions have an enhanced ergonomic grip. Many players appreciate this, but beginners will be especially thankful to have a pick that is not so easy to drop.

Bog Street picks are also affordable, priced similarly to typical Delrin picks. This makes them an excellent go-to option. Whether you're trying to explore and find the perfect pick, or you're a beginner and you don't know where to start, the sample pack gives you enough variety to find your favorite pick.

Upgraded versions of Nylon have higher strength, lower friction and are great for picking. These are typically Nylon blends or Nylon-ABS hybrids that improve stiffness and durability while maintaining the smooth picking action of standard nylon.
