What is in it
Twelve, not three
Enough that they stop rationing them, and enough that losing one down the sofa stops mattering.
The Twelve — guitar picks
A gift for someone who plays
Twelve celluloid picks in three thicknesses, four of each, in a printed iron tin that fits a coat pocket. You do not need to know what they use. Whichever one they reach for, they end up with four of them.

The three gauges
Thin, medium, heavy
Thin is brighter and suits strumming. Medium is what most players reach for. Heavy sits fuller under lead lines.
60 × 34 × 10 mm
Pocket sized
The footprint of a credit card, about as thick as a pencil. It lives in a coat pocket or a gig bag.
How we work
Made properly, checked by hand
Our mark is four bars separated by gaps of just over a millimetre. Printing those gaps clean and open, on a pick and on a curved tin lid, is the detail this whole product turns on. It is the first thing we check on every batch.
We chose our factory ourselves over three weeks, approved the first tin by hand, and we still open the boxes when they arrive.
For the person buying
Hard to buy for. Not any more.
Anything serious costs hundreds and comes with opinions you cannot navigate. This is the thing every player needs constantly and nobody thinks to give them. Leave a note at checkout and we keep the price off the packing slip.
Packed by the two of us, in Florida
No warehouse and no fulfilment company between you and the people who made this. Orders go out within one business day. If something is wrong, you are emailing the owners.
