Alice AP-ALT Celluloid Triangular Plectrum – Precision & Comfort for Every Player

Whether you're strumming an acoustic ballad or picking rapid-fire leads on electric, the **Alice AP-ALT Celluloid Triangular Plectrum** offers the perfect balance of grip, tone, and durability. Designed for guitarists, mandolinists, and bassists seeking consistency and control, this triangular pick’s wide surface and classic celluloid construction deliver an articulate response and a vintage feel loved by players worldwide.

Built for Control, Designed for Expression

The Alice AP-ALT series plectrum features a **triangular body** that provides more contact area for your fingers, ensuring a non-slip grip and stable performance—even during high-speed playing or extended rehearsals. It’s ideal for musicians who need a larger pick surface, making it a go-to for studio professionals, beginners, and gigging musicians alike.

**Celluloid**, the classic plectrum material used since the early 20th century, offers a natural, slightly flexible feel that many guitarists compare to tortoiseshell. It produces a **warm, rounded tone** that works beautifully with nylon-string classical guitars, steel-string acoustics, electrics, and even bass guitars.

Why Triangular? More Grip, More Versatility

Unlike the traditional teardrop or jazz picks, a triangular plectrum gives you **three playable tips**—extending the lifespan and adding flexibility in attack. Whether you're playing subtle arpeggios, sweeping leads, or aggressive rhythm strums, the Alice AP-ALT lets you choose your point of contact with ease.

Ideal for Beginners and Professionals

The AP-ALT is forgiving to newcomers due to its wider surface, which promotes proper finger positioning. Seasoned players love it for the tonal consistency and tactile feedback. It’s a studio-ready option that feels comfortable in the hand across long playing sessions.

Classic Celluloid Construction

Alice uses **premium-grade celluloid** in the AP-ALT series to emulate the tonal characteristics of vintage tortoiseshell picks while ensuring ethical, sustainable manufacturing. Celluloid is:

• Lightweight yet strong, ideal for nuanced dynamics
• Warm and mellow in tonal profile—especially on acoustic strings
• Capable of slight flex under pressure for expressive playing
• Highly polishable and available in vibrant, attractive colors

Coated Surface for Enhanced Grip

The slightly glossy yet textured surface finish of the AP-ALT ensures a secure grip even when your hands are sweaty onstage. With its natural tactile feedback, the pick becomes an extension of your technique rather than an obstacle.

Tone: Warm, Rounded, and Controlled

The Alice AP-ALT is particularly favored for its warm attack and gentle roll-off in the high frequencies. On acoustic guitars, it delivers smooth chord voicings and woody note definition. On electric guitars, you get:

• Reduced harshness in the high mids
• Balanced low-end punch
• Excellent tone retention at high gain
• Controlled pick attack for precision playing

Bassists and mandolin players will also appreciate the rich tone this triangular pick brings to flatwound or bronze strings.

Perfect for a Range of Instruments

The Alice AP-ALT Celluloid Triangular Plectrum is compatible with:

• Acoustic steel-string guitars
• Classical (nylon string) guitars
• Electric guitars
• Bass guitars
• Mandolins and bouzoukis

Lasting Durability with Triple-Point Design

One of the biggest advantages of a triangular pick is its **triple-point lifespan**—you can rotate the pick when one edge wears down and extend its usable life up to three times longer than standard shapes. This makes the AP-ALT a smart choice for practice sessions, live gigs, and studio work alike.

Care & Maintenance

• Store in a dry container away from heat or direct sunlight
• Wipe occasionally with a soft cloth to remove oils or debris
• Rotate tips during practice to even out wear
• Replace if edges begin to fray, chip, or develop inconsistent tone
