"These are the Best picks I've used. I like a traditional shape, and the tone of the acetal picks is really nice. They have a great attack, a warm tone, and at 1.0mm, still very stiff but light."

I first discovered Clayton picks as a kid in the ’80s. I rode my bicycle to AB Music Studios in Huntington Beach and I was immediately drawn to the white pick with the Clayton logo.

Not only they beautifully printed, but the picks are extremely durable! I am a very heavy handed guitarist and the Delrin picks don’t wear down nearly as quickly as other brands of picks. They provide me with great tone and attack on the strings with no slip during those long, hot sets, and are just hands down fantastic picks. Other brands just don’t compare, so I’m sticking with Clayton!”

As a style-obsessed musician, I was thrilled knowing I could FULLY customize my pick instead of being subjected to cheap lettering and tired clip art choices. I wanted a pick that not only gave me the sound and grip that I wanted, but was also a reflection of my personality. The black design on the white pearl creates an awesome 3-dimensional effect while the full-bleed allowance makes it look SO posh! I have clear vision of what I’m trying to achieve and Steve Clayton brings that into reality.”

“If there is one thing that I’ve learned, from playing guitar for over 20 years, it’s that your guitar pick really does impact the way you play. The quality, gauge, shape, flexibility and strength are all major factors in how a pick is represented, but it all comes down to how it feels when you do play. I’ve used a lot of picks, and I have to say that the Steve Clayton Guitar Picks are engineered for tearing up the fretboard.” – Joe Gagliardi III

For songs where I use my percussion style and pluck-rhythm, I use the orange Delrin and Acetal .63mm picks. If i am so caught up in the moment and forget to switch picks between songs, the yellow pick is my choice for multi purpose use. I sweat during our concerts and I like the feel of the Delrin picks. The Delrins allow me to hang on to the pick when my hands get slippery. My Clayton picks are the best i have ever played! Plus they make for great souvenirs for our fans.”
