Products used: Clayton Orange Duraplex .60 mm picks

Rekkit says- “Clayton Duraplex picks are the best I’ve ever played. I used to carve nicks and grooves into my picks so quickly that I would get caught on them during a solo and have to throw them to the crowd out of necessity because they were useless. Now with Claytons, I toss my picks when I feel like it or see a fan with that look in their eye. Not because I have to get rid of this thing that is slowing my playing down. Clayton Duraplex picks have serious staying [...]

Products used: Clayton Standard Duraplex Picks .88mm

“The first thing that caught my eye about Clayton picks was strictly aesthetic – I thought they just looked cooler than the other picks out there! Once I bought a couple of packs and started using them I noticed the difference immediately. They feel stronger in my fingers, last longer, and, most importantly, they just sound better than the picks I was using. Some might find it hard to believe that something as simple as a guitar pick can have an effect on your sound, but it most definitely can and does. I’m a Clayton [...]

“When you’re in an indie band, a lot of the times you’re “riding by the seat of your pants” and depending on your gear to help you make the money you need to get to the next venue or back home. Steve Clayton’s products offer the dependability we need for the peace of mind we desire.

My Steve Clayton locking strap is essential to helping me keep my bass on while I lay that bottom-end groove. When we’re recording and I need to play some lead [...]

Patricio Stiglich

Products Used: Acetal Guitar picks, HexPicks and Socket Slides.

“After many years of playing I finally found the perfect pick. The acetal is an amazing material, it’s durable, non slip and has the right shape for all speeds of picking, the tone is great, it lasts long enough and it’s practically indestructible!! The triangular shape is perfect for guitar and bass. Now I can’t go back to my previous choice, totally recommended!!”
