What Is A Guitar Plectrum
A plectrum, often considered a fancy term for a pick, is a small flat tool used to play stringed instruments. While commonly associated with guitars, the plectrums listed here can also be used for various instruments like mandolins and banjos.
The term is more prevalent in the UK and Europe, but the tool itself is universal, influencing tone & playing technique across different musical styles & instruments.
How To Choose The Best Guitar Pick
Whether you prefer to play acoustic or electric guitar, choosing the best pick mainly comes down to preference & playing styles but can be affected by things such as shape, thickness, & materials.
Thick plectrums tend to produce a warmer tone while traditional thin picks produce more of a bright tone.
The finish also has a lot to do with it. In the case of finished, something like a satin or matte texture will be brighter vs something more polished. For the ultimate overview on the factors that goes into choosing a pick, check out our >ultimate pick guide for guitarists<

Which Pick Is The Best For Guitar?
The best guitar pick is the one that you feel most comfortable using. It's also the one that best suits your playing style.
Thick picks are generally very comfortable to hold & thus enhance your grip, but something you might want to consider more is the size compared to your own hand, as well as the sharpness of the playing point.
What Difference Do Guitar Picks Make?
Picks with beveled edges such as the handcrafted ones we make, can affect playability, tone, and can make certain guitar techniques easier to perform. The right pick can significantly enhance your playing comfort, reducing hand fatigue during long sessions.
It can also improve your grip and control, allowing for more precise picking and smoother transitions between strings. Moreover, specialized pick designs can make advanced techniques like sweep picking or tremolo more accessible, potentially expanding your range of musical expression.
Why Are Your Guitar Picks So Expensive?
Our guitar picks are crafted with the same care you'd put into perfecting your favorite song. Like mastering a difficult solo, creating our picks requires skill, patience, and time. Our small team handles every step, from selecting materials to final polishing.
Imagine the focus needed to nail a complex riff - that's the concentration we apply throughout manufacturing. One small slip can ruin an entire batch, much like a wrong note in a performance. This meticulous process, while challenging, allows us to create picks that truly enhance your playing experience.
The result is a premium product that feels as good in your hands as your favorite guitar, helping you play your best.
Are Thicker Picks Better?
Thicker picks are generally more comfortable to hold, offer some grip enhancement, and better for playing individual notes. They're even good to use on bass guitar if that's your thing!
Thin picks have their place too though & are mainly preferred for their flexibility & ease of strumming chords. Check out our article on >choosing a guitar pick for acoustic guitar<
Are Metal or Plastic Guitar Picks Better?
While metal will win out every time in regards to durability, we find that plastic picks are easier to play with, there's more creative options available, and in our case they are easier to manufacture.
Plastic picks also seem to glide more effortlessly across the guitar strings, but we also make our own >metal guitar picks< which are worth a shot if you're exploring new materials.
When Should You Throw Away Guitar Picks?
You can throw them away whenever they are no longer functional & are affecting your playing technique. That being said, handcrafted have the added benefit of being able to be re-finished.
If you're looking for a weekend DIY project, try re-shaping & re-finishing an old pick. You can bring back some of the sharpness this way & extend the life of the pick, as well as customize some of its features such as going from a polished to satin or matte finish.
