Hello,
How frustrating to try to recreate that from scratch! It is a cool project though, isn't it? :)
The article states that he used a Dunlop stainless steel pick, standard size, and thin. So my guess would be to go with the standard size, 0.20 thickness. If it's any help, the Fender was a #351. So if the Dunlop matches that, you're good to go.
As for the jump rings, you'll need:
- 66 brass 20-gauge (0.8mm) 3mm inside diameter
- 11 brass 18-gauge (1.0mm) 4mm inside diameter
- 11 anodized-aluminum 18-gauge (1.0mm) 4mm inside diameter
