Whew that was close

[Chubbles]

I almost thought of getting this... a pick punch. You make your own picks. They end up more expensive, and the punch often falls apart (thank you reviews). Plus you have to sand the picks. I've wasted enough money and time.

 

[eSGEe]

yes that is a tool that answers a question NO ONE ASKED
"How I can MAKE it more work and more expensive to get guitar picks?"

 

[Chubbles]

I pick up the free picks at stores: GC and Sam Ash. When no one is looking, I grab a small handful.

I have one my son gave me for Christmas a few years ago and I agree, its more of a pain in the arse.

 

[eSGEe]

I tend to stick with one -- for as long as I can -- had a DAVA pic RVA sent me to try used that thing a year or so till I lost it recently--- took DAYS to find one I could "live with"
settled on this John Pettrucci thing-- bought a pack a couple years ago for some reason......didnt like at the time but its growing on me
Dunlop 427PJP John Petrucci Jazz III 1.5mm Guitar Picks 6-Pack

 

[Chubbles]

These are the ones I buy...

They are thick, but a little give-y. They feel more like a medium.
More recently, I haven't been as picky (no pun intended).

 

[jtcnj]

It took a while but I have made my pick for a pick, and once I pick my pick I stick with my pick.


I sand the point more pointy, get my point?

That’s right up there with the Romco tooth pick maker. Why....

 

[flatrockmobile]

Ok, I'll say it...Every guy has his girl but a guitar player always has his pick

 

[Don O]

Did someone say Pick Punch ? Oh, nevermind....

I bought a packet (25) of Fender Mediums somewhere in the neighborhood of 30+ years ago and just counted what I had left. Still have 5 of them. Just don’t break or lose them.

Edit: Yes, I know. I am not normal. But that goes without saying. If I were “normal” I probably would not be accepted in these hallowed halls.

I have picks all over the house and the office. Everytime I put on anything with pockets there's a pick in it. My wife is always pulling them out of the washing machine...

Needless to say I have enough picks!

I've carried 2 picks in my wallet for decades, ya never know when you're gonna drive past a Guitar Sinner or Pawn Shop. 3 or 4 picks in every guitar case, picks, they're every where.

Copy that. I used to carry one of those plastic coin purses us old guys would always carry. Always had a pick in it for those “emergencies.” Think guitar store. Or anywhere there might be a guitar. On vacation a year ago and left said coin purse and pick in the rental car. Bye bye pick.

I only use these in red...mostly because they are easier to see...

Attached to my keys for decades now...

 

[Chubbles]

A few odd balls from my collection. I like the Black Sabbath pick.
