Guitar Picks, also known as Plectrums, are the most widely used method of playing the guitar. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours and materials. Also the weight of guitar picks is important for playing different styles of music. A thicker, 'stubby' pick will give you a heavier playing response to a lighter 'thin' pick.
With a wide range of popular brands to choose from, such as Fender and Dunlop - we've categorized our vast selection of plectrums into Light Gauge, Medium Gauge, Heavy Gauge and Extra Heavy Gauge to make the process that much smoother for you - allowing you to easily find the perfect match for your own unique playstyle!
