Plectrums

Pick the right feel for your playing

Plectrums are one of the simplest yet most important accessories for guitarists, bassists and ukulele players. The right plectrums can affect attack, articulation and comfort, helping you shape your tone and playing style with greater control.

Different shapes, gauges and materials

Plectrums come in a wide range of thicknesses, edges and materials, from thin picks for strumming to heavier options for lead work and precise picking. Many players keep several plectrums to hand so they can choose the right plectrums for acoustic sessions, electric parts or fast rhythm work.

A small accessory with a big impact

Whether you are learning chords or performing on stage, plectrums are a low-cost essential that can quickly change the feel of an instrument. Replacing lost or worn plectrums and trying different styles is an easy way to fine-tune your setup.
