Abstract
A guitar pick comprises a substrate layer and a diamond film layer or coating. The diamond film layer is composed of chemical vapor deposited diamond, or diamond-like carbon. The diamond film coating or layer is applied to the substrate in one or more layers under intense heat and low pressure. The substrate layer can be composed of at least one of steel, stainless steel, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, copper, aluminum, tantalum and alloys thereof, silicon, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, quartz, or sapphire. Coating of the diamond film layer may be achieved by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), ion beam deposition (IBD), plasma-assisted deposition, cathodic arc deposition, hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD), or microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD).
