Here are the steps/tips necessary to order picks through the mail and to ensure we get you the highest quality product in the most timely and professional manner...

 

- Print the order form from the web page (www.legendpicks.com/orderfrm.html), fill it in and send a check or money order in the package.

 

- We accept artwork electronically in most Windows formats (bitmap/tif/jpeg/eps), but prefer bitmap.  Make sure the artwork is the highest resolution available (up to 1200 DPI), only black/white (1-bit monochrome with no gray), a couple of inches big and as crisp as you can make it.  We have the capability to imprint very fine detail so the better the artwork the better the final product.  E-mail it to greg@legendpicks.com.

 

- If necessary, you can include the hardcopy artwork or disk/CD with the order form.  Make sure the artwork is black/white, very crisp and a couple of inches big.  

 

- For imprinting signatures and hand-written notes, use a black sharpie or pen and write your requirement on a clean white piece of paper.  If you are using more than one name (first and last, or a combination), consider putting them on separate lines so we can better fill the pick.  Again, please make sure the signature is a couple of inches big.

 

- The reason we ask for artwork to be a couple of inches in size is that allows us to scan the picture, shrink it down and tighten it up to ensure the best imprint.  Do not send us artwork in the size that you think will be actually imprinted.  This will not yield a very crisp print.

 

- The imprint area we have on most picks is about .821 of an inch.  We size artwork to have the outer reaches exactly touch the border of a circle this size.  In almost every case, this sizing works perfectly.  

 

- For imprint requirements using only letters, write out your requirement (capitalization, spacing and font) on the order form as well.  Write out your specs anywhere on the order form.  We have hundreds of standard fonts available so chances are we have the one you need.  If you have a very unique font, feel free to send us the font file electronically as well or provide a web site where we can download it.

- Pick color and imprint color combinations are up to your personal preference, but I caution using red or blue imprint on black and shell picks since the color contrast does not show up well. 

- Why are our prices so low?  We get asked this question regularly and my initial reaction to folks is for them not to be misled into thinking that our products are somehow inferior and that our low prices somehow reflect low quality picks and/or poor customer service.  In actuality, our picks themselves and the quality of imprinting are the best in the world.  I consider our prices to be very reasonable and fair for me and all customers.  My margin is minimal but the ability to keep a foot in the music business is priceless.  I further explain my rationale in my biography, but suffice it say that everyone is a winner when dealing with Legend Picks. 

 

- Why do we have so many top touring artists for endorsements and clients?  We do business with some of the best known and famous artists in the music business and continue to receive calls on a daily basis from customers world-wide asking about our product.  Our exponential success is very simply based on continuing to provide the best quality picks with the highest level of personal/professional attention to detail and the needs of clients.  The music business is actually a pretty tight-knit group of players, techs, managers and folks who have embraced our products and shared their success stories with others they pass on the road. 

 

Our bottom line is to provide superior picks in a timely and professional manner...

 

Thanks again for visiting us on-line! We hope to hear from you soon...
