During the late 1800's, classically trained musicians began playing a lively new music known as “band” focused primarily on improvisation in intimate settings. Acoustic guitarists utilized plectrums to increase the speed and volume of their performance; buttons and coin were readily available and initially used as the forerunner to the “picks” we know today. Many contemporary musicians such as Brian May (Queen), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Paul McCartney (Beatles) and Eddie Van Halen are widely recognized for their use of coin and/or metal guitar picks.

Most professional guitar & mandolin players have several handcrafted metal picks in their collection that they use for recording and live performance because of the unique tones metal picks produce. If you've never tried one of our silky smooth metal guitar picks, I would suggest one of the beauties from our antique guitar pick collection. They are approximately the size and thickness of a standard guitar pick, but produce a different sound entirely - increases volume and gives a bright pristine tonal palette on any acoustic instrument - and can change the tone of your electric guitar entirely - absolutely amazing.

A standard size thick/heavy 351 style guitar pick: 32mm x 25mm x 2mm
