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

Products used: Clayton White and Colored Delrin 1.0 picks, Clayton Glow in the Dark 1.0 picks, Black Celluloid 1.0 picks
“I have been using Clayton picks for the past four years. They are, in my opinion, the best on the market. My favorite is the Delrin 1.0 picks.

But the Clayton Delrin picks last for several rehearsals without grinding down. I will never [...]
