MuskOx Horn

My GypsyPik

Recent work on my GypsyPik,,,inspired by Gypsy-Jazz guitar flashy picking. Originally I was looking for a tortoise alternative material and fortunately I came across the exquisite Muskox horn. The GypsyPik comes with 2 vertical oriented holes, a small crescent cut-out at the top and a compound bevel at the striking edge for a crisp attack. The holes and cut-out are to help counter pick rotation.

Good-Day ......greg

Some very kind words from a world-class musician.....

"In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of

luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response.

Greg Pacetti's is one of these. I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

One of our most exceptional guitarist
