Clayton Picks Guitar Picks (S50/12)

I have been using these Clayton pics for years. They are the only pics I buy. My favorite thing about them is that they never tear or break. I don't know how long they would last but it would be a looooong time! I play guitar professionally and have for years and I've never had one of these pics wear out on me. The only reason I have to replace them every once in a while is because I lose them or loan / give them to other guitar players. Oh and by the way in case you are wondering the only ones I buy are the .50 mm. This number represents the thickness or flexibility of the pic. I have found the .50 mm pics to be the perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity. Of course this will be a matter of preference for guitar players but .50 mm works great for me. I would recommend .50 mm as a good starting place if you are not sure which ones to get.

These are great picks-- I prefer the thicker (.80 or .88mm) options. These Claytons hold an edge and work well for playing pinch harmonics or raking. I've been using these since the 80s and while I've strayed often I keep coming back to these when I actually decide to order some new picks vs. just digging old ones out of a drawer somewhere. Give 'em a try!

-I like these (1 mm) for acoustic guitar music requiring robust articulation and warm tone. They dampen a strike just enough to make articulation manageable and sweet but not so much that clear tone is muffled. Maybe a little betterfor lead playing and careful rhythm work then a heavier pick. These are stiff enough to play with authority. I wouldn’t mind a little more grip but these are pretty good already.- They complement heavier picks which dampen tone more- like Dunlop Max-Grip 1.5 mm picks. The Dunlops alsoarticulate nicely but are softer than acetal and absorb more tone, a softer response useful in smoky blues and jazz.-Both above are affordable and cover anything I want to do.

The media could not be loaded.  Are used the Dunlop tortex .60MM orange picks for years. I mostly play rhythm acoustic occasionally electric too. The Dunlops have a nice powder that helps them stay in sweaty hands more easily but my hands are usually to dry so I put little pieces of grip tape on my picks. I wanted to pick that had a little more string attack but not as much as the vortex by Dunlop (a little bright for my taste). These were the perfect amount for me. I also like that they are a little bit thicker .63mm doesn’t seem like much but I can really feel the difference.A wonderful pick!

I have been playing guitar for 25+ years. I have tried every pick imaginable. I ALWAYS go back to these. I play acoustic and the .80 mm to me is the sweet spot. Not only is it just the right tension and attack, the sound is a clean, mellow sound that I can't get from any other pick. Grab some of these and A-B them with a doze other picks. You will see what I mean.

These are my favorite picks for acoustic guitar. I used to use thin or medium fender picks but I was breaking them all the time. I've tried the Dunlop tortex ones, but I seem to wear them down real fast. These picks last me a super long time without getting broken or worn down (I've never broken one and it takes about a month of heavy playing for the tips to get worn down). They offer just the right amount of bend, but I don't have to worry about breaking them (most picks that bend are either too brittle or breakable).

These picks are just better. They sound better on acoustic and electric. They never ever break. They're easier to grip. They are precisely sized. They are just plain old better. No question about it.

Great standard issue picks. A little plain but a-ok for daughter’s routine use. She eventually wears them down but that’s fine. Cheap enough that if she loses them who cares.
