ChickenPicks - 1-LI-22 Thermosetting Polymer Pick - 2.2mm Light for Electric Guitar

The ChickenPicks 1-LI-22 2.2mm Light takes your playing to the next level with one thing in mind: precise articulation without sacrificing durability. Constructed from thermosetting polymers, this pick offers a bright, direct attack that lets each string resonate, even during fast picking and complex riffs.

What makes this pick unique is its combination of weight, thickness, and material. Duroplast plastic offers a remarkable balance between lightness and strength, allowing you to play comfortably for extended sessions without compromising grip, tone, or response. Duroplast is sometimes cited as being seven times stronger than steel, a claim that underscores the robust durability and consistent tone of these picks. Eppo Franken's invention has gained a worldwide following, even attracting beloved players like John Jorgenson and Johnny Buckland of Coldplay.

In practice, you'll find this pick excels when you want a clear, punchy tone with controlled dynamics. The 2.2mm thickness offers plenty of freedom for expressive riffs and accents, while maintaining string-to-string consistency. Ideal for guitarists who want to play fast alternate picking, arpeggios, or heavy rhythm parts without the pick slipping off the strings or producing unintended sounds.

Who is this for?

• Players seeking speed and articulation with reliable, long-lasting performance.
• Live and studio guitarists who want consistent tone across genres, from rock to blues and pop.
• Guitarists who prefer a lightweight, responsive pick for precise dynamics and superb control.

Tips for optimal use

• Don't just move fast, but focus on the clarity of each note. The 2.2mm thickness encourages a sharp attack without jumping too far into aggressive fretwork.

• During rehearsals or recordings, the long lifespan of Duroplast picks can actually be helpful: less frequent replacement means fewer interruptions in your workflow.
