Description

Ibanez produced the PPA16MSGDB as part of the Grip Wizard series, a line of picks designed around textured surface finishes intended to improve grip during play. This pick occupied a practical, functional position in the Ibanez accessories catalogue rather than the instrument line.

The PPA16MSGDB features a sand grip texture on a short teardrop shape, moulded from polyacetal at 0.8mm thickness. The sand grip surface treatment distinguishes it from smooth-finish picks in the Grip Wizard range. Picks were packaged in sets of six.

For questions about compatibility with specific playing styles or instrument setups, a guitar technician or qualified instructor can advise on pick gauge and shape selection.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Owner photos

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
