LED glow picks

For playing in the dark?

OMG I just wrote a review for one on Amazon. The title is literally “Possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever bought”.

 

[GAD]

FWIW it’s enormous and only lights up when you strum AND there’s no obvious way to change the battery.

Review will likely show up in a couple of days:

Thanks for confirming it's a gimmick. Looking forward to reading your review once it's posted.

Yet another solution to a non-existent problem.
I don't play my guitars much in unlit coal mines or during total solar eclipses, so I'll take a pass.

So far it has 3 reviews posted and they are all good (so far). Still waiting for GAD's review to smack it down.

These would of gone over big had Jerry Garcia tossed them out over the crowd from time to time. “Ohhh..the trails man, look at the trails!!”

Looks like you're safe this year, just barely.

Amazon took the 3 reviews down. I wonder why?!

Endorsers were given a free box of picks and a set of strings.

Rocky,
Yeah, I checked on that, and had I needed illumination to serenade and calm the neighbours during the eclipse, rather than buy the glow pick, I was gonna melt a bit of wax on my guitar and stick a candle to it.
That would work don'tcha think?

Made because they could. Maybe it will become a collectible??????????? NAH!

Nope. They only blink at the moment of impact so as soon as they'd hit the air they go dark until they hit the ground where they would blink again and then go out again.

Rocky, you might be on the precipice of a new signature for your playing like Eddie VH did with the cigarette stuck next to the nut. Where there's smoke there's fire?

I still see four posted.

Every one of the reviews posted so far are "Amazon Vine" reviews. Mine will be as well.

Amazon Vine is an invitation-only program where reviewers can pick from a huge pool of stuff "for free" from vendors that participate in the program. The VAST majority of the stuff offered is cheap import junk. It's "free" in the sense that Amazon sends it to the reviewer without processing any payment, but thanks to US Tax laws this is considered compensation and the stated value of the acquired items is then reported at the end of the year as income on a 1099-NEC.

Now I see four. Very strange.

Ahh, gotcha. I guess they might appeal to the handful of folks that actually play a Plunkenbacker Lightshow guitar!

Love to take the credit, but that was RBSinTO

It was a joke.

That trick's been around a minimum of 56 years. This shot's on the back of their 1st:

Even put a ding on the headstock of my D25 when I closed the case on a smoke that hadn't gone out yet.
