Why Choose Handcrafted Guitar Picks

Thicker guitar picks like the ones we offer also provide a handful of benefits you might not be aware of.

Not only are they suitable for a wide variety of playing styles, usable on both acoustic and electric guitar, but they can also be used for bass playing.

Generally speaking, thicker picks offer a more comfortable hold which in turn enhances your grip & reduces hand pain or fatigue. Furthermore, our guitar picks are handmade so we can further enhance these gripping properties through emblems, engravings, and textures.

In terms of sound, our thick picks are able to produce a warm tone with a more rounded playing tip, or a bright tone with a more pointed tip & matte finish.

Finally, it doesn't matter if you're plucking individual notes, strumming chords, or exploring all sorts of different playing styles... we seek to offer top notch aesthetics in all of our guitar picks. Picks that stand out & put the spotlight on you!
