A proud user of .60mm Tortex Glide Picks, Misha Mansoor wasn’t on the lookout for a signature model. But he came to realize that his hard and fast playing style was once wearing the thin gauge down too fast. So he came to Dunlop on the lookout for a thin pick that could get up to a ton of punishment whilst giving him the same sound, flexibility, and playability of his Tortex Glide Pick. Flowing geometry. Sticking with the Glide Pick shape was once a no-brainer—it perfectly complements Misha’s progressive picking technique. First, the wide angle and sharp tip offer exceptional handling and precision when things get fast and heavy. Second, the sculpted edge allows him to use his hand like a volume keep an eye on, squeezing out different dynamics by changing the orientation of his attack—angled to spice up and accentuate solos and flat for even, consistent rhythms. Dig-in durability and a balancing warmth. For next-level durability that stands up to Misha’s intense attack, we chose Delrin. Similar in feel to Tortex, Delrin holds its shape even longer and wears more evenly. It sounds nice and warm, too, providing an excellent balance to the articulation provided by the pick’s sharp tip. A pick for the stage and a pick for the studio. The resulting Misha Mansoor Custom Glide Pick perfectly captures the sound, feel, and playability that Misha needs, but we wanted to go a step further. This pick comes in two different gauges: .65mm and .73mm. He likes thin picks because they produce clear notes with just the correct amount of compression to keep everything tight and in tune. Just how clear and how in-tune depends on how hard you play, though, and how hard you play depends on when and where you’re playing. The vibe on stage is different than it is in the studio, so we worked with Misha to develop the easiest gauge for each situation. For live performances, the.65mm gauge flexes just enough so that he can play hard and fast with the energy of the crowd whilst producing nice, clear notes that don’t go sharp. And it’s blue, so Misha can find them on stage! The .73mm gauge, with a bit of extra stiffness added by the black colorant, allows for a more deliberate and controlled performance when Misha’s recording tracks.
