Introduction
I'm Michel Wegen, professional model maker, run my own shop and usually work for museums, advertisement agencies, attraction parks, hospitals, et cetera. (See an overview of my work) In my spare time I like to study other people's problems and try to invent solutions. This is a very interesting and enjoyable hobby, and I am often successful in finding new solutions to old problems.
Gypsyjazz picks |
The Gypsyjazzpick
One of these solutions was making picks for gypsy jazz style. And the picks are among the best available for this style worldwide. And what wonderful reviews I received on the Standard model, now called the Gypsyjazzpick. Please click on the comments link at the bottom of the page.
Gypsyjazz picks |
The material I use is sounding very close to tortoise , but it is lasting much longer. The pick has a nice beveled and curved tip, so it makes a difference if you're right- or left-handed. Both sides have grooves for grip, and the thumb side is concaved with grooves. My standard gypsy picks are 3.5 mm thick, 30 mm long and 26 mm wide. I've improved this pick just a few times for the better, and my customers and I cant think of any more ideas to offer a better gypsyjazzpick. I'm done here.
Price: USD / EUR 18,50 a piece. These come in yellow packages, and you can buy these picks also from people who have some stock. See below for addresses.

The Fatone
Actually this is called the fat-tone pick, but what's in a name. This is my new model pick. There is nothing else to compare with in pick-land. Its big. It gives your guitar a bright tone, and 
Some Fatone picks |
it's very loud. This pick makes you fall in love again with your acoustic guitar. You'll get a sound out of your guitar, so loud and sparkling, you never could have imagined is was in there all the time. This pick brings it all out. It's 5 mm thick,( Just look at the picture with the CD jewel case) but this Wegen-design makes it very easy to control. In the picture you can see the grip I make on the Fatone. It's very much like the grip I make on the Gypsyjazzpick.
Compare them with
a CD case |
| Get your volume and tones to a higher level. The Fatone makes a difference, you can feel it, and hear it even more! ( I hope you have a proper build guitar using this pick, it might fall off your lap in pieces.........) USD / EUR 19,25 a piece. These come in green packages For the time being, only available from me. Use the Order Form to order them today! |

Model GP 250 (This is a project name, we'll think of a proper name
later on)
For those who think the original 3.5 mm Wegen Gypsyjazzpick is just a
bit too thick, we now offer the GP 250. This pick has the same
dimensions and grip as the Gypsyjazzpick, but comes in a lighter gauge
of 2.5 mm. Lighter weight, but the same great sound!
This model pick comes in a 2-pack. Look for the picks with the white
inserts. USD/EUR 27,50

Twins
A pair of Twins |
The cutest of them all! Basically, this is a mini-Gypsyjazzpick, but
what a performer. Don't let the dimensions fool you . Great speed, control,
volume and sound. A solid winner and Michel's favorite. ( A favorite for many
others too!)
Dimensions: 27.5 mm long, 23.3 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick.
This model also comes in a 2-pack. Look for the orange inserts. USD / EUR 24,75

Bluegrass picks!
Bluegrass picks |
These are the ultimate picks for serious bluegrass guitarists. After all, I only want to offer the best money can buy. My material just sounds great for bluegrass at a 1.4 mm thickness. We are continuously evaluating on grip and design, to improve the
picks even further. Absolutely very nice ideas are coming up.
These picks are offered in a 4 picks package. USD / EUR 18,50 for a package. These come in blue packages.
