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 [...]

Products Used: .80 mm White Delrin Custom Logo
“I was using Dunlop picks previously and wanted to get my own custom picks made with my name and logo. The cost through Dunlop was very high. I had a couple friends suggest looking into Steve Clayton. I looked over their product offerings and all of the artists they work with and was very impressed. I ended up ordering my first batch of custom picks at a fraction of the cost and they ended up being just as good or better than the picks I had been using! The people there are [...]
