Products Used: Acetal Rounded Triangle 1.26, White Pearl Rounded Triangle 1.0, Colored Derlin Rounded Triangle 1.14, White Pearl 1.26
“I have used nearly every pick on the market over the last 4+ decades. A few years ago, my friend Porkchop [Eric Church’s stage carpenter] gave me a few of Eric’s picks & I loved the way they played & sounded. I bought a few more Claytons and soon they were the only picks I was using. Since I received my first custom picks, I can truly say I am now a ‘Clayton for Life’ player. I have been mainly using [...]

Ray Powers
Products Used: Black Delrin signature custom (ultra thin).
“Like so many other players, I had tried out a ton of different brands of guitar picks over the years before discovering Clayton Custom. Not only do Clayton picks look great, they feel so natural that they become like an extension of my fingers, and that’s vital when I’m engrossed in a performance. You can’t afford to be second-guessing your grip, durability or quality. Clayton Custom picks give you that reassurance. The only time you’ll be letting go of your pick is when you’re flipping it to one of your adoring fans [...]
