Perfect Touch Finger Picks


Look what folks are saying about the "new" Perfect Touch Finger Picks

Hi! Angie,

Well, I received my Perfect Touch finger picks about four days ago. I ordered the flat faced nickle ones in medium size.

Before I go further, let me tell you that I have been hoarding my supply of 40+ year old National finger picks since I bought them new way back then. I have never found anything that I liked as well, including the newer ones with the National name stamped on them but are not the same. I have about eight of them and would never considered letting anyone else use them or letting them get out of sight.

These Perfect Touch picks change everything. They are absolutely marvelous and are exactly as functional as is implied in their description. They don't hurt my fingers, I can't imagine them causing hangnails, and there is no way they will ever come off until you want them to. An additional benefit that is not mentioned in their ad is that they are very easy to adjust to accomodate your angle of attack. One problem I have always had is the picks are not at a right angle to the strings due to my hand position. These picks allow you to easily make minor adjustments which correct that. A genuine revelation. I adapted to them very quickly. I have already sent emails to all my guitar and banjo playing friends extolling the virtues of Perfect Touch. You can quote me if you like. Thanks again for all your great services and the monthly messages that you send.

I read that Perfect Touch is working on a clawhammer pick. I will most certainly send for one of those too.

I sent your ad to Dick Weissman, who used to be a part of the Journeymen, my all time favorite 60's folk trio. He is still very active in the business and knows just about everyone and everything that is going on. He mentioned that it would be great if someone could come up with a finger pick that would allow you to play both down-strokes (like clawhammer) and up-strokes (like bluegrass) at the same time. I guess they would have to have a double edge. Do you know if Perfect Touch or anyone else has every tried to come up with something like this? It would be very useful, especially for people like me who have fragile fingernails." Thanks again, Bob Scott - Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Hi! Angie, I have been using the Perfect Touch banjo picks now for several weeks and I really like them. I still enjoy my Nicks Picks but the Perfect Touch Picks are the most lightweight and comfortable picks that I have ever played with. Thank you, Wade Williamson - Littleton, Colorado

Angie - These picks are well worth the money. I was convinced the Shelors were the ultimate fingerpick but after three hours playing I prefer the Perfect Touch picks.Comfort-wise there isn't much difference, both are extremely comfortable. However the Perfect Touch picks produce noticeably less 'click' when they hit the strings. I wouldn't have called the Shelors bulky but there's less bulk in the PT's. There's also another certain something about the PT's I like but can't quite put into words.Both the PT's and the Shelors are fantastic products and ooze quality, perhaps like comparing BMW to Lexus (says he who drives a 10 year old VW Polo heh heh). I can still remember the wrecked cuticles and caught hangnails when I used Dunlops. I remember someone on the Hangout describing them like having mousetraps on your fingers, good description.I ordered these from Angie's. Five days from ordering to delivery in the UK. Great stuff - Richard

"Angie, Just wanted to let you know how much I like the Perfect Touch Finger Picks I ordered from you about a month or ago, I just got around to using them today, been using my Colbalt BP ones I also ordered from you which are also excellent but I was amazed at the Perfect Touch Picks. At first I thought that I would have trouble with them since they're a little longer & narrower than my Colbalt ones but was I wrong. They are so much easier to hit the strings with the tips of the picks like you're supposed to do. I have been practicing the songs out of Jack Hatfield's 1st banjo lessons book which is an excellent one to practice on. I have all the songs in it memorized except the last one & went though them today using the my Perfect Touch Picks for the first time & plan on not changing picks again. Again thank you for another great product." Randall Rief

"Hi Angie - I have been meaning to write you and tell you how much I appreciate you getting my order out so fast. I love my Perfect Touch Finger Picks. I wish I had found them first. Now I have a drawer full of all the other ones. :) Someone said in a testimonial that they would forget they had them on, well that is true, they are very comfortable and I have no more problems with my fingers cracking. I am soooo thankful that Rusty Thornhill was able to come up with these. I will order another set just to be sure that I always have a spare set. Thanks again Angie for your wonderful work that you do for all us over the hill wanna be banjo players." Ruth Levasseur

"Hi Angie - My perfect touch pick's arrived today an are they ever comfortable, they're also nice an light. Congratulation's to the designer for a nice product. Yours truly, Jeff."

"I just got a set of these Perfect Touch Finger Picks, and I must say, they are the best set of finger picks I have ever tried. They wrap around your finger right above the finger nail. They feel like they are part of your fingers. So comfortable and and natural feeling. Rusty Thornhill has really come up with a great product...the first new advance in finger picks in 50 years or so...Terry V."

Keep on Pickin
Angie
