Subject: RE: Worn Capo-Repair?
"I have a worn-out Fender flatpick, heavy gauge. Is it possible to repair it?"
Sure, I do this kind of repair all the time.
Repairing Fender Flatpick:
1. Set the damaged flatpick on a table (don't try to set it on its edge -- it will only make the repair take longer).
2. From a pick supply house or guitar shop, order a similar gauge fender pick.
3. Set the pick of similar gauge atop the damaged pick, being careful to leave at least a small edge of the damaged pick exposed.
4. Using a pair of small, needle-nose pliers, grip the damaged pick.
5. In one swift motion, yank the damaged pick out from under the pick of similar gauge.
6. You should now have an undamaged pick in precisely the same place where you once had a damaged pick.
I hope this helps.
