Guitar pick and method of making the same

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a pick body that facilitates a high level of precision and detail is disclosed. The method includes printing the pick body, layer by layer, so that the printed layers have a parallel orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of a playing portion of the pick body. The resulting playing portion of the pick body has orthogonal layers relative to the strings of the musical instrument is plays, thereby obviating the string or strings played from consecutively and independently engaging a series of the layers that formed the playing portion, whereby distortion noise resulting from parallel layers, relative to the strings, is not present. The method includes applying a liquid resin layer by layer, so that each subsequent layer is vertically disposed relative to an immediately previously applied layer, whereby each subsequent layer defines a thin profile of the pick body, thereby building the pick body vertically.
