"Homeplate picks" were known to British guitar players throughout the 60s and 70s and were used by players such as Richie Blackmore and the Beatles. Made from real tortoise shell back in the day, they produced a tone colour with noble and shiny trebles and mids, and they delivered a wonderful balanced sound. The pick's special flat angeled shape provided more contact to the string and thus created a simply fatter sound than other picks of the same thickness.
After there picks became unavailable, Thomas Blug started to experiment with clones made from different materials. After endless attempts, he finally found a special synthetic material that matched his idea of a great sound. There it was: the legendary sound of the HOMEPLATE PICKS made from tortoise shell.
Richie Blackmore´s son, J. R. Blackmore, also uses these picks, which BluGuitar custom-made specifically for him.

Klasse
Ganz hervorragendes Plec. Es lässt sich sehr leicht spielen. Durch den längeren Steg kannst du das plec je nach Spielsituation gut anpassen. In meiner Plecsammlung mit über 1000 Fabrikaten sticht es neben einigen BlueChip Plectren und 3-4 Plectren die über Jahrzehnte sich in der Praxis bewährt haben hervor. Persönlich denke ich ist das eher ein Plec für den bluesigeren Spieler der auch mal a la Sayce oder Healey tief in die Saiten spielen möchte, und bei präzisen runs den Ball gerne eng am Fuß hält?
