Emory Lester - Bluegrass

Red Bear Trading has been making fine hand-crafted guitar picks since 2003. Our picks are world-renowned for their feel, tone-producing and performance. Red Bear Originals and Tuff-Tone picks provide smooth string attack and release gliding off the strings without effort.

The new Black Diamond Strings catalog features an expanded product line. Our new Black Coated Strings are available in both acoustic and electric. These new Black Coated Strings have been a sensation to players who are looking for strings that will last longer and have a smoother, more balanced feel to them. The plain strings are also coated, allowing for the set to be balanced among all six strings.

Tone-Gard isolates the back of the instrument from the player. Isolating the back allows the top to produce more volume and deepens the tone. Many of the most prominent mandolinists -- including David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, Chris Hillman, Roland White, Radim Zenkl, Andy Statman, Mike Marshall, Dana Rath, Tom Rozum, Eric Thompson, Emory Lester, and many others -- use and recommend the Tone-Gard to get the best sound.
