Many artists have contacted us asking "Can you make a guitar pick with the traditional shape and size, and still have that V-Pick sound and gripping action?" Well, here it is! The V-Pick Tradition! The same size and shape of a regular guitar pick that we all grew up with. Only this pick adds a bit of a twist to that old formula. You will not drop this guitar pick due to the V-Pick "grippage" that you have heard so much about. They will cling to your fingers when your body temperature warms up the pick! They also give you much more volume than a regular pick. A great sounding tight bottom end, a huge mid range, and a beautiful, singing high end. Much like a human voice. This pick has a lot to offer, indeed!

The GripClip prevents the inadvertent unplugging of guitars, basses, and other strap-worn instruments. For generations, players have addressed this problem by looping their cables around the junction of their strap and strap button. This practice reduces the likelihood of accidentally unplugging the instrument, but does little to reduce stresses on input jacks and inevitably leads to kinked cables.

BG Pups Handwound Pickups and Bryan Gunsher has announced the addition of the BG Bucker Clear Top and MM90 "Mean Green" to the lineup.

Also this set uses 2 A4 magnets specifically tuned for this set. This set has great vintage tones with a touch less highs in the bridge than the stock BG Buckers and the neck has touch more highs. The bridge has a nice crunchy bite to it. The neck is buttery while still retaining highs.
