What are these weird triangle picks? I have never seen ones like these before. You can see them on the mic stand.

Apparently these picks are custom made Dunlop Tortex .88 and the only way to get these with sharpen tips is from Malakian himself ;).

More infos.

    That said, I'm 80% sure I've seen picks in that shape in stores, and a quick Google Image search for "triangular pick" shows that several manufacturers have made some, so if OP is willing to settle for something similarly shaped, he can probably just buy a pack.

  • Though, given the ludicrous number of Dunlop pick designs, I'm surprised they don't just make a System of a Down Signature Pick. ;)

These are pretty common. I have several. His might be custom but you should be able to get these at most stores. I got mine back in the 80s or 90s.
