Description

Salvation Guitar Pick Adapter (Version I and II) (NIOP)


This is an adapter for individuals who are missing a hand or fingers, to hold a medium thumb style guitar pick securely on their arm. The unique shape of the strap holes lets the strap brace the adapter from both sides so it is very responsive.


It should work for picking most stringed instruments, and you can use it on either arm. It should also work well for people who suffer from arthritis or partial paralysis.


Version II is a remix of the Salvation Guitar Pick Adapter with a thermoform-able base for a custom fit on longer residual limbs, or against the palm.


Make sure not to tighten the strap too tight so it cuts off your circulation. Use at your own risk, and check with your doctor before using.
