Finally, all the Jam Kats are here!

Though we have been selling for awhile, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are officially selling all sizes of the Jam Kat, for both Righties and Lefties. That's 10 total sizes!

If you don't know what size you are you can download our sizing template here.

Just a quick shut out to everyone who helped to make this happen. Remind your friends to add us on Facebook and Twitter!

Testimonial Feed

Some of you might have heard a number of us talk about this fine gentleman Billy Reasons. We met him in Nashville at Namm in July and he really showed us a great part of the business we're in. In 2002 Billy was electrocuted and almost died. Though doctors thought they would have to amputate his hand, they saved it and he has since gone through a number of surgeries to rehabilitate it and regain full function. At the moment he glues a pick to his thumb and finger with pine tar and tends to play so hard he leaves blood on the guitar. Still with all this adversity he's creating the best music of his career. We're hoping the Jam Kat design will help him overcome all current and future obstacles. Billy is an extraordinarily talented musician and we want to make sure the sky is the limit. Lisa is designing him a FLiP! and he sent her this lovely note that we wanted to share with you all:

Thank you so much Lisa for being such a big part of what will allow me to do what I know I was born to do. Sometimes when tragedy strikes it makes us want to give up and sometimes it pushes us to persevere, in my case that perseverance led me to you, pat and your entire wonderful group. It's another piece of a divine puzzle. You know how when your sitting there putting a puzzle together and you're looking for that one special piece and sometimes it seems to take forever to find? You guy's are that piece for me. Thank you so much for what you have accomplished, it will enable me to accomplish what I am meant to do as well. As my story continues I can't wait to share with the world what a big part of this story you have become. I thank God for leading me to you, I love you guys.

~Billy Reasons

So this is one of the many reasons that making the Jam Kat is so worthwhile. I can't even tell you how excited we are at the moment. On this edge of infinite possibilities. Starting a company is hard work, the type of thing you don't understand unless you've done it. Thankfully we frequently get to have moments like meeting Billy to keep us going. You can check out his story here.

Good Morning Nashville

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that Al has been uploading some pictures from NAMM in Nashville, TN. Much of the Pick-Smith Team is there to introduce the Jam Kat to the world.

For pictures and updates make sure to check out or Facebook Page, but here's a sneak peak of our booth setup today:

wish them luck! And remember, the Jam Kat doesn't just work; it works very, very well.

We Be Nammin'

Congratulations to us as we are now officially members of NAMM! They're slogan is 'believe in music' and we are definitely believers here at Pick-Smith, Inc. We are also excited to announce our attendance at the Summer Namm Show in Nashville, TN this July. It's a wonderful networking and promotion opportunity for us, especially as we begin production of the Jam Kat.

We are lucky to have known Tim at Poremba Productions for a long time, and he's been working on the layout/graphics of our 6'x8' booth for the summer show. Doesn't sound like much space? Well we're going to be packing a lot of 'awesome' in there, don't you worry.

If you're going to be attending the show as well, look for something along the lines of this in the Guitar Accessories section and make sure to stop by and say hello. We promise we don't scratch.

Also along the marketing front Lisa has also been working hard on AD copy for Guitar World, Guitar Player and Bass Player magazines. We'd like to roll those out as soon as possible and who knows maybe we'll even get a product launch feature. You never know what the universe will throw at you.

More posts soon to come with updates about the tooling, the FLiP! and some exciting endorsement possibilities. Stay tuned :)
