Behind V-Picks is Vinni Smith from Nashville. His acrylic picks produce a fat tone, are grippy, and durable. The special material even slightly adheres to the fingers when it warms up. Some of the most well-known V-Picks users include Billy Gibbons, Carlos Santana, Brad Whitford, Orianthi, Phil Keaggy, Vernon Reid, and Derek St. Holmes. If you're not playing V-Picks, you're working way too hard! The Ghost Rim on some V-Picks features an unpolished playing edge that makes the attack more aggressive and rough. Over time, however, this playing edge will also smooth out, and the effect diminishes. This tool can be used to roughen up the Ghost Rim playing edge again.
