Coated fingerpicks ; the last mod.

Got my second set from Andy, and all I can say is, if you don't give these a try it will be your loss. They are truly a real nice adaption to a mediocre (Dunlop) pick. I would like to see this done to Nationals or maybe a set of Newmans.

Thanks Bill: I've been trying to locate some Keysers with no luck. Been told they no longer make them. Pitty; the were a good pick. I did go snooping in my buddy's display counter & found 38 heavy gage nationals. He didn't know he had them. I'll have them cleaned up & coated in 'bout a week. I'll do a new post in announcements when they're ready. Thanks EVERYONE for you support & encouraging words. Andy H.

Hey Guys: Got a couple of packages of picks coming for the coating service offered. Also working on the heavy nationals I found. Haven't measured them but they feel like about .028. Thinking about trying to get sombody to make some (HINTON's); alla Jeff Newnam. Lot of if's in that though. Still got some .o25 Dunlops coated & ready to go. Thanks. Andy H.

Great Stanley; orders are still trickling in. Got to go to the shop & coat the 38 Nationals I found. They should be ready by Wed. if someone prefers them to the Dunlops. They'll be same price & by request only 'till they're gone. thanks Andy H.

Bill Hanson just placed his third order for coated picks. He became the first to request a pair of the Nationals. Keep it up Bill, Wish I had a 100 like you.

Thanks buddy. Andy H.

Hi Andy, I'll take another set, but this time make 'em the Nationals please. Please send your mailing address to maryjolly@hotmail.com Thanks, Rick

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 23 Apr 2009 3:50 am

Thanks Rick; They'll be ready Mon. 4/27/09. Please save me some typing,scroll up to first post, page 1 for my mail add.

Guess I better find a source to buy some National picks. Might need to talk to Fran about a bulk deal on Jefrans. Andy H.

Hey Andy, I don't actually use these picks with my PSG - they seem to make great toys for my Rottweiler. One set lasts him 3 or 4 days before he swallows them. I think he prefers the red ones but I'll keep ordering both colors until I'm certain. It sure beats hell out of buying the Chinese crap they sell at Petsmart and Petco.

Order has been placed and payment sent for two pair (4) Nationals. Thanks..Wes

Bill; now you went & done it. Cracked me up. Oh well I needed a good laugh today.

. Wes; Got the black ones coated this morning. They'll be mailed Mon. AM. Thanks to everyone. Andy H.

Andy, I got my picks and they stay on .If you get some JF's from Fran, let me know and I will get some of those, also. They are great!----Jack

I have used Jeffs picks for years and would like to have a few pairs coated my self, the coated ones really feel good and stay on, what a combo, thanks Andy

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 28 Apr 2009 4:04 pm

To Jack & Gary & anyone else interested. I also think highly of the Jeffran picks. I just can't pay that much for them then do the coating process & sell them at what I consider a reasonable price. I'd be going in the hole bad.
As I've stated earlier tho.; If you have some & would like them coated. send them to me & I'll do the complete process & mail them back @ $1.00 per pick plus $2.00 S&H for the batch up to 10 or 12 picks. My address is at the top of this thread. Thanks, Andy H.

Jack Ritter · Post by **Jack Ritter** » 29 Apr 2009 6:35 am

Hi Andy---
Will try to get 6 ea. JF and 6 ea. nationals on the way way today for coating. I have your address.
Thanks----Jack

Jack Ritter · Post by **Jack Ritter** » 29 Apr 2009 8:52 am

They are in the mail and on their way. MO is included. Thanks----Jack

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 29 Apr 2009 2:27 pm

Hey Jack; I.ll be looking for them. Hope they don't take as long as Connie Mack's have. He mailed them the 18th & I still haven't got 'em. Murphy's law I guess. Thanks Andy H.
