Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen, this aluminum guitar was cut from 18 gauge aluminum and stamped with the quote where words fail music speaks, which is one of my favorite quotes of all time, since music bridges one of the many gaps between language and self expression.

The guitar pick features hand filed edges and smooth polished surfaces for a perfect glide over your guitar strings so that the music will really speak. Measuring 1.3 inches long by 1.2 inches wide, this pick is similar in size to standard plastic pick, while still being my own original design. The 18 gauge aluminum is thicker than many mass manufactured blank 20-22 gauge picks and offers increased rigidity, while still being extremely light weight.

You can personalized this guitar pick with initials, names, or dates on the backside or request any stylistic changes by entering your requests in the notes section.

Hans Christian Andersen was the author if the "Ugly Duckling,""The Princess and the Pea," and who can forget "The Little Mermaid" adapted by Disney to a cartoon film in 1989. While famous for his children's literature, he has also entertained adults with his enthralling fairy tales. Please don't hesitate to request any other Hans Christian Andersen quotes or any custom music related items such as guitar picks, guitar pick jewelry, and metal plectrums for string instruments.
