The Ultimate Finger-pick?

This may be a good news for flamenco guitarists and classical guitarists as well. I think we all ought to check this out:

The Ultimate finger pick

From the video, what I understand from it is that this Ultimate Fingerpick is an alternative for finger picks and the standard flat plectrum. I don't really know how it replaces the standard plectrum but it is definitely a good alternative to acrylic nails. Some people are born with really soft nails (like me). And we often have to rely on acrylic nails. The common problem of gluing acrylic nails is the fungus growing under them. For musicians who play other instruments like piano aren't supposed to keep their fingernails long. So when they switch between their guitar and piano, it could be a problem. This ultimate finger picks definitely solves that. 

As for my doubt regarding it being able to replace the flat picks, it is more because many people may already be used to holding the pick and play. The grip of the pick also provides the strength you need for fast alternate picking. 

Yet, again I have never try and thus, I don't know how it feels like. 

Single Invader

I haven't been unable to update anything for quite sometimes. Things have been crazy and I just couldn't find the time for blogging. 

Anyway, perhaps any of you are a fan of Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold? And I assume that you know the Seymour Duncan Invader pickups on his signature Schecter? Well, good news here is that... there is now Single coil Invader!

What's new in 2013: Episode 1

Happy new year, everyone! Maybe some of us would wish to start our new year with a new gear. I would want some studio equipment instead though. Anyway, these are the new guitars in 2013 thus far.

Schecter:

The 006 isn't exactly new. It is more of a revival actually. It's been on the catalog some times ago. And Schecter decided to include it in this year's catalog. Recently, seeing a Sustainiac on Schecter guitars is a very common sight, with a few notable Sustainiac users among Schecter artists. Now you can have a Hellraiser C-1 FR S (with S, needless to say, acronymizing Sustainiac. Another attractive inclusion would be the Damien Platinum series which is available in 6, 7 and 8-strings model. TSH Classic features the lipstick-style pickups. I don't have much interest in them but if given the opportunity, would definitely love to try. (If only I can readily find all the retailers easily... and if only they let me try in peace).

PRS:

Here are the new PRS for 2013 (PRS and PRS SE)

SC-245

 C-22

Grainger's 4-strings and 5-string basses

and SE-245 with Soapbars (hmmmmm)

What really interest me are these two guitars:

Brent Mason Signature PRS

and Paul's guitar (said to be designed after the very guitar PRS plays in his studio). This guitar has been quite popular and discussed on various forums and the new brushstrokes inlays are rather unique.
