Another week, another guitar related Kickstarter project, but as with every crowdfunding project I share on Guitar Noize I think this is a cool idea. As guitarists we all know what it’s like, you go to your mates house, a guitar store, or you are at band practice and you lose your pick. Snap Pick aims to remedy this problem by creating detachable picks for your keyring made with Delrin and in different gauges, simply snap one off (that means something very different where I come from but I’m sure you are more mature than me) and play.
The Snap Pick® was developed by Willis Houck, a professional sound engineer with over 30 years experience running live sound. The solution to this problem came to him one day in November of 2009 after lending out his last spare pick. That day he made his first rough sketches, and started developing prototypes of the Snap Pick® design.
He applied for both a patent, and trademark, and has been awarded patent # D694,811S, and trademark # 4436766 International Class 15. Over time he created a variety of molds, and tested prototypes using materials commonly used by leading guitar pick manufactures.
The Snap Pick® is now ready for production. This Kickstarter campaign has been created to enable Willis to create three new production molds, and produce their first manufacturing run for consumers.
