I was wondering if anyone can identify the finger pick that Brooks is using in this video. Actually, it looks like a thimble. Maybe a Joel Hicks brass thimble? Or maybe Brooks made it for himself? It sounds good and looks interesting. I was wondering if I can find something similar. Thanks for your help!

Looks like a standard brass national finger pick bent to wear backwards and the pick part bent to mimic a fingernail
