NOVELTY PICKS |
|
A pictured
reference guide to various
related novelty guitar picks. These are picks that were not produced for any
sort of touring. They generally are produced as giveaways or specifically
for the purpose of sale to the general public in some fashion.
I have not
yet collected a lot of these myself, but I am interested in obtaining picks I do
not have. Descriptions in this color green
are ones I do not have.
Feel free to contact me if you have one of
the ones I need! |

BRUCE KULICK ESP GUITARS PROMO PICKS |
|
|
 |
|
There are also different re-printed versions of
these over the years for the NAMM Conventions. Some use different plastics,
different size picks or different size logos. Here are a few of them: |
| |
|
ESP-BK1 - black with white logo
& sig / ESP (speaker E) - Japanese version |
|
ESP-BK2 - black with white logo
& sig / ESP |
|
ESP-BK3 - black with white logo & sig /
ESP (larger logo)
|
|
ESP-BK4 - black with white
logo & sig / larger ESP (with box around it
and larger speaker in the E) - Japanese version |
|
ESP-BK5 - white with black logo
& sig / ESP (speaker E) - Japanese version |
|
ESP-BK6 - white with black logo
& sig / ESP |
|
ESP-BK7 - white with black logo
& sig / ESP (larger logo) |
|
ESP-BK8 - white with black logo
& sig / larger ESP (with box around it and larger speaker in the E) -
Japanese version |
|
ESP-BK9 - transparent green with
silver prism logo & sig / ESP
This one has an interesting story: This was actually
supposed to be for the band ESP (Eric Singer Project). But the pick
company used the Electronic Sounds Products logo. Since Bruce endorses
their guitars, they allowed him to have the picks rather than destroying
them. |
|
|
|
Notes: There are
unconfirmed rumors of a white on purple pick. If you look closely,
the US versions have a slightly different E. Electrovoice in Japan actually
has a copyright on the speaker in the E, so the E had to be modified for the
US versions of the pick. |
|
Creative Communication sold
phone cards (for only $10) that came with these picks. Gene and company
gave them permission. Most of them do not have a dash (-) between the 96
and 97, however some do. Where known, I will try to list them with or w/out the
dash. |
