Closest to what I use is the Clayton triangle. I love the d’addario triangle picks in 1mm; best picks around!

@Ronald Parada do it! It’s a tough build but a heck of a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to finish mine yet, but I’m super psyched for it!
Baritone opinions
I am looking at getting a baritone guitar for country and blues stuff with my current jam group. I’m searching for a Fender BassVI sound (think Wichita lineman). But I don’t love the price of the BassVI I have seen. Anybody out there have a baritone they absolutely love?

I got a Chapman baritone. It’s pretty good! It even came with coil split, so you can get the single coil sound with it. I have no complaints about it at all! (Other than guitar center damaging it in shipping…)
Drop C
Any recommendations for the best string gage for drop C on a floating Floyd Rose?

Try out a set with a heavy bottom string, it’ll help with drop tuning

@Phil Asdot that would probably work
MULTI-SCALE (FANNED-FRET) GUITARS
I cannot remember where I saw one, but I recently saw a guitar with angled frets somewhere on the internet. It looked interesting, so I did a little research. The correct name for such a guitar is a multi-scale or fanned-fret guitar. The big benefits of a multi-scale guitar seem to be expanded tonal range, improved string tension, better intonation for lower (downtuned) tunings, and improved playing ergonomics. They seem to be made mostly as 7- or 8-string guitars. Surprisingly, at least to me, a lot of them are headless guitars. This article is an excellent introduction to multi-scale or fanned-fret guitars. It's got me intrigued. So much so that I'm considering either buying one (such as this Schecter, this Ibanez, this Jackson, or this Jackson) or building one (this kit) with all the necessary hardware and pickup improvements.

As a proud owner of a multi-scale Jackson (specifically this one, https://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/x-series-dinky-arch-top-dkaf7-ms?variant=49944849383738 ), I will say they have some big pros and an unexpected con. Pros: -Big bends are easier (I can get a sold whole step bend on the high e without trying real hard, have to be careful actually lol) -The tension is incredibly even across all the strings (no more having to adjust finger pressure per string); creates a smoother feel -Actually super easy to adjust to (I have 0 issue switching between the multi-scale and single scale guitars I own) Con: -Multi string palm muted become challenging (you have to angle your right hand to mute each string equally, otherwise your low e/b strings get heavily muted while the a/d strings are barely muted) Overall, I thoroughly enjoy playing it and it sounds great! The biggest advantage from the multi scale is on extended range guitars, so if you find yourself wanting a 7 or 8 string and want smoother playability, I would say check em out! They do make 6 string multi-scales, but to me they’re not worth the extra money. If nothing else, find a multi-scale at a shop somewhere and give it a go, it will definitely give you something to consider. The tension change is subtle, but very comfortable.
