Introducing the latest in hand-made guitar picks. Thicket Picks are unmatched in their beauty and tone. You will never go back to plastic picks again as our picks become an extension of your playing arm and not just a plectrum you hold in your hand. Sold in a pack of three.
Every Thicket Pick Is Hand-Made:
Thicket Picks are completely hand-made. Our Luthiers craft each pick by selecting the best of the wood grain they will be working with. Next the picks are hand-sanded and shaped into their intended dimensions. When you compare two separate Thicket Picks you can see that no two are exactly alike. Each pick carries a slightly unique shape, edging and sanding marks to it.

The Tone:
Thicket Picks will give you a greater sense of interaction with your guitar strings. Wood dynamically
controls the strings as you play. Thicket Picks are rated between the hard and soft woods so you can choose how bright or warm you want your sound to be.
The Control:
Use Thicket Picks to create different tones as you play. The stronger the angle you play the pick blade on the string, the more the pick will grip the string. What youll hear is a dynamically scratchy and punchy tone. The sound will become percussive.
Ready To Play:
You dont have to finish our picks! No files needed, as these are hand made and individually toned before being hand packaged for delivery. Other pick manufactures will sell you the pick and a file to refine your pick. Thats because they are selling machined picks that need that extra touch to complete the tone. Thicket Picks are completely hand made and hand toned.
